Best/worst sound system you have heard?

[legend4ry]

Hopefully its got nuff weight for the Mindstep label launch night that's on the 15th this month :]

Trust, its still a sick system, hopefully it gets put to its full potential next week !



My favourite system is 9bar by a long shot.

Never saw Valve but a very, very informed friend tells me it was a piece of shit.

Why does your very, very informed friend say that? Not saying he's wrong as each to his own etc, I'm just curious.

Personally Valve at it's full potential I find to be a great system, unfortunately because of noise pollution restrictions etc I haven't heard reports of it playing at full volume/potential for years. I saw Skream play on it around maybe 2007 and the clarity was oustanding, and don't even get me started on the bass - ribcage was rattling HARD and pulled out my phone at one point to send a text and couldn't even read the screen cos the thing was shaking so violently in my hand

[wubstep]

Not too sure but I will ask next time. He may well have heard it in more recent years. It's been going for a long fucking time too, most of it's probably shagged.

Isn't it all subs too, that's gotta sound like shit surely?

[cityzen]

Valve has been shit the last couple of times i've been to a night where it's been there, but as the person a couple of posts up says, that's probably due to noise pollution restrictions. Even with this taken into account, it's still one of my favourite systems coz it was super weighty back in the day. All of the aforementioned chest rattling/phlegm loosening/vision blurring stories are true!

MOTHERFUCKING

NZ: Subtle Sound in Christchurch. Too bad there aren't any clubs in the city left to hear it!

[nclpad]

Best: Iration Steppas.

Haven't been to DMZ at Mass, which will have to be rectified.

[cpt.pollution]

Best -
DMZ Mass
Front of Main stage for Outlook (Was a lot heavier than the Mungos Arena)
Subtle in Christchurch is great when they have the full boosted system in double happy, 28k packed into that tiny room lol

Worst-
Cable, when I went last November we left after about 30 minutes it was a fucking joke there was absolutely 0 bass what gives?

Argghhhhhh. Dont say that. Playing there next month. For the amount of big nights they put on surely they must have improved it?? Cant see swamp 81 playing to zero weight??

Room 2 (the one with the big bar) has a great system for dubstep but room 1 and 3 just can't handle it - towards the end of the night the 3 times ive gone room 1 has bee all crackling and just all-highs/high-mids

We're playing in room two. So thats not so bad.....but kinda sucks about the main room.

i've been to quite a few valve nights and yea anyone who has seen in recently would just think its a pretty standard system coz of the noise pollution businees but trust it is that good. 1 night in particular i went to was the dnb awards 08 or 09 i remember the same thing i couldn't see my phone screen it was literally impossible, my lungs were vibrating like mad it was next level nothing i've ever heard comes close

[ekidd91]

Mungo's and B.A.S.S. Alliance are brilliant & Sub Club's is good.

I'm tryin to think of worst, emm the system at Evolution Fest's main stage last year was pretty bad. Not that that's to do with dubstep.

[.onelove.]

Valve one was fucking awful when I heard it. Was at a shite Jump-Up event, bassy to the point of not being able to distinguish one track for another. I'm all for a chest rattling, but not if it turns the sound in a muddy incomprehensible pumping drone.

[wubstep]

That's what I expected.

[murky21]

went to reggae roast on Trojan Sound on friday, very tight and weighty, recommended!

[ashley]

My favourite is cable lol jk

[Intended Malice]

Hmm... I'd have to be a multi-million dollar setup at one of those audiophile conventions I went to a few years back, I can't recall the exhibitor/producer. It was a wine and cheese kind of crowd in an upscale hotel so instead bass music they played classical stuff, but I heard some Wagner with so much resonance that even at like 40 feet away it felt heavier than when I heard Terminate get dropped standing in front of the bassbins on a decent system. I was never a fan of Stravinsky until I heard it on that system, but after that it became a full body experience; you could literally feel every note, which given his compositions feels like being caught in the middle of a violent Hitchcock scene.
