I'm grateful, and just like The North, I Remember.

 

 

If you want to chalk that up to me being a forum member, I suppose, like anything, that's possible.

I'd even go so far as to say likely from a smart business point of view, which illustrates one of the reasons manufacturers want to use forums for marketing: every positive post on a forum about a product and the experiences actual owners have with it (including quickly resolved service issues) is potentially a powerful grass roots ad - all real testimonials from real people. Arguably way better than any magazine review or print ad...

I have to say that long before I was a member of this forum or any forum, Aspen treated me like gold. I just think he really believes in his product and is genuinely thrilled when people catch the "center point fever"....(How's that for a free plug?....lol)

"my hearing you through a SSv3 or TT08 or 20 Magnepans"

Tim's the only one who has ever commented on or used all three of those...how could he not take that personal?

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

Yeah, a while back a few of us were looking at upgrading individual components. Didn't end well. As in, a hugely upgraded coax, but leave the rest of the rig unmodified. The balance was lost.

 

The challenge is that it threw the mix off between the components, which is only something that can be addressed by the original designer

 

Here's my problem. I'm willing to pay for upgraded components (always) but not willing to deal with massive form factor, as in the forthcoming XL model.

 

If you expect me to schlep the weight of the XL model, all sorts of other very interesting approaches come into play ..

I just have this feeling I'm going to get one...with the inputs and outputs you could run a wet and dry signal into it and dial in the wet to taste....if I'm looking at it right that is

But over the past year though I've seen more and more people try to jury rig their SS3 into a full range flat response system. Adding a sub. Then adding a quality powered speaker on top.

 

This caught my eye.

 

Yes, what I want is a 40 pound amp with the spread of the SS that is FRFR (full range, flat response).

 

And the journey continues.

 

Nailed it!!

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

Wow....I love this advice!! I haven't experimented with those options yet....sounds intriguing....

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

So what's a realistic omnisphere mic? I googled it and all I got was you and Spectrasonics...

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

He's probably a little busy inking record sales...lol

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

Hi Aspen....would it be a total waste to upgrade the 6" speaker as well?....I have a feeling your answer is going to be yes.

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

Hi Chuck.....the Beyma seems to require their own proprietary crossover. Do you think it would work in the ssv3? Just asking because I've heard very good things about them.

"Makers of gaffers tape could up their profits slightly by displaying a hideous logo on the cardboard tube. Then you'd have to use up a bit of product before you started really using the roll."

You've got a weird sense of humor....are you a musician?

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

I would also.....

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

Fulcrum has the fa28ac....still weighs 38 lbs.

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

Aspen,

Your interest in the success of this product obviously goes way beyond financial; your passion is palpable. Thanks for your great work.

 

A whole-hearted second to that

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

I hear they only way 150 Kilos...lol

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

Merry Christmas Aspen! May you have a fantastic 2016!!

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

I'm sensing a little sarcasm...lol

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

I have a Kronos, and electric pianos are my favorite through the SS. Just dial in some chorus or phaser and add a little reverb...sounds great. Without a little stereo effect, you lose a lot of magic!

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

I do play acoustic guitar, so if it's even remotely as good as the SSv3 I'll likely get one. Sweetwater is doing that 36 month financing again. (Darn that's hard to resist!)

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

Looks like that new Fender SFX amp is out now.

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

Aspen, originally I was doing pretty much the opposite to what you are saying and was getting "disappointing" levels of noise and hiss, thinking it was the SS3. When I attempted what you suggested, I was amazed how the signal cleaned up and how LOUD it could get!!

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

It's interesting after sounding so harsh, when the side speaker blends with the front speaker the result is so pleasant.....

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

Here's an interesting option for angling the SS3:

Happy Birthday Aspen! You've made a lot of my Birthdays happy...Thanks!

Pages?!! Or posts?

[Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back]

You should try an Ebtech Hum-X. I had a similar problem, now the SSv3 is stone cold quiet.
