B&W 'New' 800 Series
Kot - I was in Stereo exchange over the weekend and didn't see the 800s there - They're in the process of moving, so perhaps they've already been packed up?  Their listening rooms were all pretty sparse and even blocked off from the public.Too bad... 
In ear headphones $150 or less
Personally I've always preferred the sound quality of closed back over ear headphones, but earbuds absolutely are more convenient when on the go.  I've actually found one set of earbuds that that I'm happy with for travel, etc.  Surprisingly they ... 
need more inputs & outputs to run tape machines
swampwalker has the right idea.I wonder though if it would make sense for you to all-our on a 16-20 channel mixer (mackie makes some great ones) unless you think that you'd benefit from adjustable level, gain and EQ per channel.One thing I think I... 
Speakers for electronic/hiphop/rnb [$4000 range]?
By "right volume" - I'm talking about the volume setting at which the loudness of the central image and/or vocals/lead sound natural (live) and the soundstage appears appropriately sized. 
Speakers for electronic/hiphop/rnb [$4000 range]?
Todd speaks the truth- except this (no offense Todd):"floorstanding speakers with integrated powered woofers/subs"Unless you've got the scratch for Beolab 90's that is...The guys that design driversThe guys that design cabinetsThe guys that design... 
Speakers for electronic/hiphop/rnb [$4000 range]?
Just one more thing to add when you're auditioning speakers.  As you're listening, recognize that's there only one "right" volume to play any music.  If it doesn't sound realistic and get you off your couch at that volume, then they are not the ri... 
Speakers for electronic/hiphop/rnb [$4000 range]?
No prob at all -and you can all call me Greg :)One thing I would make sure that you look for is a set of speakers that can throw an absolutely massive sound stage that has incredible front and center focus that have zero muddiness.  Given your roo... 
Speakers for electronic/hiphop/rnb [$4000 range]?
Hi torontoelectro - Sounds like you already have a nice system considering that you bought sight unseen.I agree with the advice above in that you should try to listen to as many speakers as you can at the dealer but I think that I would hesitate t... 
Long lost songs
Nope - From Boston's self-titled debut album - 1976You're combing the lyrics from two songs on the same album"something about you" and the other is "let me take you home tonight" They are the last two consecutive songs on side BGood album - Go get... 
Resale value of new speakers
It appears that this is the OP's first post - I smell a "white van speaker scam" here.... And if I'm wrong - Sorry for your loss and glad that insurance covered you "casselsithesky" 
How do I power my 800D(3)s
Matt - As far as Classe is concerned are you looking at the CA-M600s?Those would be a perfect match for the speakers and if you really want to do it right, a pair for each channel bi-amped would be ideal.Greg 
When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better?
Milpai - Sorry for the late reply to:This is a completely new one. Never heard that before. Can you please explain how one can hear "code" in digital music reproduction?It's really pretty simple for me - Once you've been through hundreds of softwa... 
Recording quality...
Mikey - This isn't a simple answer of which is better but I mostly disagree with all of what you said in your post (except perhaps remastering).There are so many aspects that go into the recording process that will affect the final outcome.  Befor... 
Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down.
Todd - As far as I understand even cables with the plenum jacket still have typical shielding around the inner conductors - that's the real problem. 
Phonomena II power supply question
Mike - I don't have ay experience w/ any of the units you listed but they all look like they would look fine for your needs considering the low power requirements of the incoming pre.I did recently purchase a LPS from Swagman labs (also in HK) for...
