what with the site being as it is and people like you and trevc posting in the forums I may well make this my last post

Might help if the site was easier to use. I can't be bothered to wait for the page load times, the homepage is such a mess, as are most pages, that I don't visit them anymore. The forum layout is a bit better though but still have to wait 10+ second to see active topics - sorry to sound negative...

I haven't heard the A28 but have owned an Arcam Alpha 9 for 15+ years. I'v always had the amp driving Acoustic Energy speakers but had the opportunity last year to listen to it driving some Monitor Audio speakers and although the MA's had a £300 cheaper list price than the AE's, the synergy...

cleared my cache and site is still taking between 10-15 seconds to load a page. Not putting up with this - off to pastures new

I would buy a dedicated CD player. There is much more to a cd player than the disc mech and DAC as some here seem to suggest. Get the best you can and you will be rewarded.

Red Cafe seem to have got it right. It may look a bit old fashion but proven design principles make this site very simple to use. I'm not saying it's perfect but it's very simple and useable. The last iteration of the what hi-fi forums were also good. A few missing features and a little slow at...

The danger here is that WHF could ignore the criticisms as 'people just having a moan because it's new' and miss the point that it is actually terrible. Have just managed to view the home page (on safari as I didn't want to clear the cache on firefox) - This is probably the worst example of a...

i'v been using the site for a few hours now. some of the new features are good, the site needed a kick into the modern era. However the user exprerience and visual design are terrible - who signed this off??. The last site had a certain class about the way it looked and although it was a bit...

I know a lot of work probably went into this but it looks awful. Everything is everywhere, sorry but it's a mess. Page loading times between 5 and 11 seconds!!

Fiona Bevan - Talk to strangers (discovered on Macsmusic - many thanks ) Nice album! Ron Trent - Jazz Funk Freedom MI 7 - Rockin' Down Tha House
