I can only put it down to good cables and proper gain staging. I've got my XV5080 a good few years already, and I was still pleasantly surprised by the sound I heard in his demos!īy the way, CoolColJ, what is your recording chain for your synth demos? I've noticed that all of them (TG77 demos too etc.) sound great!.Thanks - but I haven't done anything out of the ordinary Wow! You are probably the only person I've ever heard saying the XV5080 has a 'lousy' sound!.ĭid you listen to the demos here of CoolColJ?
