Devore Super 8 and B&W 805s-shootout
Like I said to you in another thread (which was deleted by AG)..I WAS going to sell, until I did this shootout, then decided to keep them. I just marked them sold here. They are staying until I find something better, and right now I am not really ... 
How are VTL's power amp ?
I agree with Bobspeak here..Before I purchased my VTL rig I listened to mucho ARC products. And none of them sounded like Tubes to my ear. Once you listen to VTL you really look at ARC alot differently. Not that they are bad, just much closer to a... 
What's your favorite audio codec?
When you say huge, how huge? How many gigs of music in total do you have? To boot to a different library, hold shift then click iTunes while holding shift, you will be prompted to either choose or create a new library. iTunes (2) is the default I ... 
What's your favorite audio codec?
Ledhed2222-Now I understand where you are coming from. To answer your question-I have two completely different libraries. One is all AAC on one PC, and the other ALAC on my MAC, which is dedicated to audio for the most part. For our iPod (80gb) we... 
Cables for B&W 805S
I also put playsand in my stands as well. One of the best sonic tweaks yet for my system as a whole. Pulls everything together and makes the speaker sound more coherent. I also tilted them back a bit with the taller spikes they come with, another ... 
B&W 805S.. Anyone listen yet?
I couldn't agree with what is quoted below more in regards to the 805s. In fact I agree spot on with most of Wrightstuff's review here. This is someone who listened and took their time evaluating. Well done!"But when it came to listening, there we... 
Speaker Selection: B&W 805S or Revel M22 w/Sli-80
"I liked the M20s but them the company was purchased by a bigger outfit and the plant in New England was closed with no warning to the employees. The production was moved who knows where..."The production was moved to a better facitily in New Engl... 
What's your favorite audio codec?
Ledhed2222- I am not sure you have read all of what I have said if your misunderstanding, or this entire thread for that matter-I use LOSSLESS..How am I misinformed? I am not the one who said ALAC sucks compared to a format that has little mainstr... 
What's your favorite audio codec?
I personally will buy more storage if it meant improving sonics since it is so cheap, so moot point. Unless your worried about space on an iPod itself or other portable player. This is the very reason I like ALAC. Although in my trials I could not... 
What's your favorite audio codec?
"Both of these formats compress the file much more than Apple Lossless can. Check them out."the question is really...Why would anyone want to compress files more? 
What's your favorite audio codec?
WAV is the biggest, no compression, but you lose the metadata in iTunes. Osgorth-what I mean when I say a little compression as possible is would prefer none at all. 
What's your favorite audio codec?
I have, and I have used them extensively and listened. I want as little compression as possible, and Monkey Audio sucks. 
What's your favorite audio codec?
Apple Lossless...A 1:1 file. 
High End Integrated Choices
the 805s comes alive on tubes without a shadow of a doubt. Nice choice. 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
I agree with an earlier response...The 805s is a special speaker in the line, and definately a monitor to hold on to. Good with lots of equipment, magic with tubes. A sleeper in the B&W line.
