| Bin dug noisy records. Does it diminish your enjoyment? Usually I do not pick up records at garage sales and swap meets. However, last week I was at the local swap meet and sure enough a vendor had two records I was interested in. The first was a M&K D to D disc of Earl Hines 'Fatha'. The second wa... | |
| The new dCS Varese DAC...it is so good that all others are now relegated to history?? One thing that occurs to me with regards to the dCS pricing is that one can acquire the new Metaxas And Sins Papillion tape deck, along with a good number of tapes for a price that might be less than the dCS stack. According to JV in the current i... | |
| whatsbestforum - what's going on @teknorob23 You might know. I have no real idea as to why I was banned, except maybe my posts/threads didn’t meet the agenda of one of the owners?? BUT i am now more than pleased that i was banned, the WBF forum has become quite weak and I do no... | |
| whatsbestforum - what's going on @analog_tiffer +1. Thank you. | |
| whatsbestforum - what's going on You can ‘sigh’ as much as you like, but now we can all see what it is like to be under the supercilious and onerous mods and owners at the WBF! You have zero issue with benefitting from the many prior threads that I initiated on the forum, includ... | |
| whatsbestforum - what's going on @treitz3 Tom keep going, you clearly are a good foot soldier. Oh, and while you are at it, please remove ALL of my content from the WBF site. I have requested this before, as I certainly do NOT wish for that content to continue to give the owner... | |
| whatsbestforum - what's going on @viridian Sure, there are a few folks left that are enthusiasts, but those folk seem to hang out in the background, probably knowing that if they post something that doesn’t fit the agenda of one of the owners, they too will be banned. Your spe... | |
| whatsbestforum - what's going on @viridian +1. The number of former members who used to contribute valuable information to the WBF has dropped down so precipitously that really those that are left are now nothing more than a group of shills either trying to sell product, or a co... | |
| whatsbestforum - what's going on @willgolf There are numerous forums that meet my needs, including this one. As has been mentioned here before, the mods at WBF are quick to ban folk for the slightest thing, plus the owners are exceptionally supercilious. Given the ongoing bicker... | |
| whatsbestforum - what's going on @willgolf Just ask one of the owners at WBF for a recommendation as to what he uses for gear isolation...he will be happy to sell you ( at a very high price) a footer that he reps. Your review 6 years ago of the $50K DAC..which is now a boat an... | |
| whatsbestforum - what's going on Getting banned from the pathetic forum known as WBF was one of the best things that has happened to me in years. The forum morphed into a soap box for its owners who think they know a ton more about audio and music than they do. To that, there are... | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 @aljordan Have you swapped back to KT150's to determine the difference between the tubes? I also wonder if the speaker that one uses has something to do with the results posted? Some less efficient speakers working better with the KT150's? | |
| What are your thoughts on Raidho? @kodak805 70% seems to be wrong. Most retailers mark up at 100% (keystone) in order to support costs and profit, at a minimum. Perhaps the dealer friend was stating 700%, which would seem more likely given Raidho’s pricing. | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One @ghdprentice Unfortunately, I believe some high end gear does qualify as ’throw away’ For example, a speaker or an amp from a manufacturer that has gone out of business. Parts no longer available, but worse, nobody to work on the gear. A lot of t... | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One @ghdprentice It's actually not the fact that gear occasionally needs servicing that concerns me, it is the question whether you can actually find someone to do the servicing. Seems like this trade is becoming scarcer as more and more gear is cons... |
