    Will I move to digital as I age?

    I'm 65 years old and although my overall health is fine, I have noticed that my mobility has taken a noticeable turn for the worse. My hands/fingers aren't as steady & flexible, I have a more difficult time getting up from a crouched position and I don't bounce back as easy as I once did. This...

    Kate Bush - Before The Dawn

    There's a running thread over at the SHForum with thousands of posts, and I've been following it since day one. I'm a super huge Kate Bush fan and have been anticipating the potential release of an album based on her 22-concert engagement at the Hammersmith. Needless to say I bought the album...

    Spacebar issue with this forum only.

    I've noticed that the spacebar does not engage when I type a reply...so there are no breaks between words. I've had to type in Word ..then copy/paste into a reply. It works properly when creating a thread, but that's it. It only happens on WBF...no where else. Really strange. Has anyone...

    I’ve been a member here since the very beginning and have thousands of posts and have started hundreds of threads.

    Tourism Commercials

    Thought it would be a fun idea to start a thread based on tourism commercials for places (cities, states/provinces, countries) that others might like to visit. Certainly commercials don't tell you everything about a place, but they hopefully provide the viewer with a sense of what can be...

    "Gearogs" by Discogs

    Discogs has started a new site for listing gear which is now active. Looks like it's been in the works for some time, but it's news to me. http://www.gearogs.com/

    Wanted to register at AVShowroomForums because of Myles & mep......

    ....but my email was banned. (shook head). I wasn't surprised as I heard some members would be. But c'mon....me? I'm like the smallest cog in the audiophile world and surely have no impact on any of the discussions. I could have found another way, but I don't want to go anywhere I'm not wanted...

    It's almost criminal......

    okay, maybe that's a bit harsh, but......... Why are albums by 3 of the most wonderful voices out of Britain (Adele, Amy Winehouse and Duffy) so badly recorded. I'm listening to Duffy right now and it's horrible. Adele and Amy's don't fare much better and it really annoys me. Are these the...

    Has the EDIT feature been removed?

    It appears I can no longer edit my posts. That's a problem as I can't update my Turntable list. Weird though as it appears on this post. Can someone check on my list of TT manufacturers. I don't have the edit option there.

    If sound quality is that important why so little reference to music?

    I suspect we are all members on WBF because we care about the quality of sound that reaches our ears. And regardless of our media format of preference said media plays a huge part in this, yet it seems to be an afterthought or non-mentioned part of the equation. The vast majority of talk...

    Upgrade TT Power supply or add Phono Pre?

    I have my Oracle Paris MkV / Dynavector DV20x2L going into the phono input of my Marantz Ref PM-KI-Pearl. The Oracle uses a standard power supply. I like this combination, but I know I can do better. Oracle has a new phono pre (PH-100) that retails for $1,000 and also a Turbo Power supply at the...

    A New Year's resolution we should all keep!

    Staying on topic! Now I understand it's only natural to veer off-course, but more and more topics are straying so far we have lost sight of the OP's question. The solution to this is two-fold. As members we should try to refrain from adding to those situations and perhaps consider starting a...

    Do you forego music because of recording/mastering/pressing quality?

    For me that answer is an unequivocal NO! I always try to seek out the best possible of those 3 parts I mentioned in the thread title, but if no alternatives can be found then I have no problem purchasing music that might be considered sub-standard. Partly this is due to the fact I am more...

    Digital copy codes (UV/iTunes/Disney)....can they be sold?

    I can't seem to determine whether DC codes included when purchasing a Bu-ray can be legitimately sold. Opinion on this is about 50/50, but it's opinion. I've seen nothing anywhere that provides me with a conclusive answer. If there is anyone here who can provide some insight on this it would...

    There's something I'm liking about this place here!

    Rather than create a thread about all of the things that are wrong or should be improved on this site I thought.......Fudge it.....let's mention something positive. I'm really happy to see an increase in participation with regard to the music threads. I think it was needed to be quite honest...

    Reference TT suggestions for those who can't afford SOTA!

    I love reading the various reference quality turntable threads, but I don't contribute much of anything there as it's out of my league. They sure are nice though and must sound absolutely out of this world, and I hope that one day I can actually listen to one of them. That would be a wonderful...
