Yeah those audiophiles are sometimes a bit crazy. I mean, his suggestion that using 24-bit/96kHz audio would be adequate is lol too
But those Funktion 1 systems are amazing. Cielo in NYC has one, the sound is absolutely clean. They certainly don’t have a mass produced mixer in the booth but I don’t think that’s why their system sounds so good
Friends of mine frequent the Berghain during summer. One of them will be in Berlin for a few months this summer too.
They do love the sets being played there, though I can find myself in the words of them not being to fond of people bearbacking to the left of the stage.
Digital DJ Tips just favourited this video, Funktion One founder Tony Andrews talking about their stuff and music quality in general. Found it interesting and I thought I’d share, I also put a poll on cos I love them
What do you think? He has some interesting things to say, and to give him respect I must say I do love funktion one sound systems. There’s a club here in barcelona called Macarena with a massive one in a really tiny space, and the quality’s outstanding.
That said, I personally think he’s going too far by saying that mp3s are toys and are killing music appreciation. For me, a 320 is just fine. How many people really go to a club expecting to have studio quality audio?
