Valve sux :-(
TUNES Posted by Lil'd on Wednesday 04 May 2005, 03:59PM

Indeed!

The valve sound system is only 96K! Would it shock you to know that it is not actually driven by valve amplifiers at all? In fact it is driven by C - Audio amps - and quite old battered models too...

I don't really see the appeal of the system... Its not very high quality, poorly designed, spec'd and assembled. It certainly doesnt sound crisp, in fact, I'd say its quite lacking in mid range and what treble sounds do penetrate sound distorted and comressed. This is probably due to the exuberant ammounts of scoop bass enclosures and the meagre midrange or treble speakers being driven far to hard. Never liked funktion one RES5s tbh

Hope I haven't offended but thats my view! Any thoughts?

Dillinja - Mixer Abuser Shocker!

I've worked a gig with Dillinja.
The fact that the meters on the DJ mixer were up to the max without a flicker of movement would suggest that he is not bothered by the ridiculous amount of induced harmonic distortion that everybody has to listen to. He may have the loudest sound system in the world but if the source sound is bad then no matter what system this signal is put through, it will not get any better. It just becomes a loud,bad,painful sound. The whole set had zero dynamics due to the pushed preamps. Saying all that, I'd love to here the Valve but my expectations are low.
