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...
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...
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. There was always some really good, informative, constructive and helpful dialogue between members, and people even showed a sense of humour and light-heartedness. That continued for...
A new Canadian firm is coming to the record’s rescue. Backed by $1-million in funding commitments from a Greater Toronto Area investor, Viryl Technologies has designed a modernized, fully automated record press that will hit factory floors later this year.

This fully analogue (AAA) boxset is available from Amazon.CA for $108.37 USD (converted).
This is a steal of a deal!

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...
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.

....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...
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...
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.
This much anticipated symphonic reworking of Pink Floyd's iconic 1975 #1 album WISH YOU WERE HERE marks the 40th anniversary of the original album release For the first time ever, WISH YOU WERE HERE is issued in spectacular symphonic sound, newly recorded in Abbey Road Studios where Pink Floyd...
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...
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...
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...

This may be of interest to some of you, so I thought I'd post it!
Price is in Canadian dollars, so $3,000 works out to roughly $2,150 USD.

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...
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...
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...
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...
