We can announce What's Best Forum has now been upgraded to Xenforo latest version.

The upgrade, amongst other things behind the scenes, now gives us Enhanced Search. It allows searches with as little as 3 characters and digs deeper into the forum content to find the content you are looking for. This is a big deal to our members, and one of the main reasons we have both updated the software AND moved to a dedicated server!

Ron Resnick: Video Interviews
We currently are building an exciting video extension to the forum facility. Once we have built the code for this we intend to publish new in-depth interviews by Ron inside WBF for everyone to view. More on this development shortly.

Brand Videos
Another exciting development will be a dedicated section in the Forum for audio brands to publish their video content. In the information overload environments of Facebook and YouTube, we believe this will be a superb way to get product exposure to audiophiles in a more direct and effective manner.

"The sole legitimate function of a music system, from modest to state of the art, is to enable the listener to enjoy the emotional experience of music performances. On a Higher Note’s efforts are concentrated on distributing audio components which offer an exact recreation of live music performances without interfering with the musical enjoyment. This pursuit demands dedication and a genuine love of music that is impossible to hire, which explains the fact that in those few companies that succeed in producing musically satisfying components, product development is inevitably dominated by one or two individual personalities, rather than design by committee.

While we enjoy large-scale rock, we prefer to use acoustic performances on acoustic instruments as our musical reference. Similarly we recommend using music to voice a Home Theater system as we are familiar with how a Steinway grand piano should sound, while we have no such reference on hand to determine if a dinosaur stomp is accurate or not."
