Nice! I came close to buying some 805D's a year or two ago. Very good speakers!

Great! Always good to see a vinyl record player

Thanks,
Cabling is a mess, but I'll work on that coming autumn.

Your cabling is good! Less chance of induction loop issues with the "random" cable distribution method. I use a similar method myself, it works well.

Nice system. Did you compared the 120 and 200 before you chose the Devialet 200?

Yes, I heard the 110 on my speakers and that really impressed me. The 110, however didn't have enough ports, so I 'had to buy' the 170

Was there any noticeable difference between the 110 and 170 in sound quality for the 805D if I may ask?

In my opinion the 170 (now 200) is a step up from the 110 (now 120). B&W are a bit powerhungry as speakers go though the 110 could handle them, but the soundstage is better with the 200. It all seems a bit tighter. If you can, go and listen to both (or all) of the Devialets.

Today one of the harddrives in my Synology NAS crashed. The NAS sent me an email that the drive had crashed. Bought a replacement this afternoon and it's rebuilding now. Isn't this technology wonderous?
