Docking station for an iphone
One product that may be of interest is the "Shift" from Peachtree Audio. It is a portable battery powered usb dac that will also charge your phone. Apparently it was designed specifically for iphones. http://www.peachtreeaudio.com/shift.html

Thoughts on Vincent SP-998/ SP-T800 Mono Blocks.
Agreed Wolf! I bought an SV 237 just to try it out in a second system. Well it sent my seperates packing and as you say the build quality is amazing. I know Vincent gets a bad rap on here but I could care less. 
vintage speakers

ccolby I agree which is why I suggested the adams. I thought the Nova Pre had balanced out my mistake.  
$800 to spend on speakers, $1500 on whole system
How do the dacs in the nova pre and the nova 65 se differ in their ability to handle higher sample rates? They are both asynchronous usb dacs.

The peachtree gear sounds pretty good I had the original Nova and liked it better than some other entry level integrateds. Having the on board dac is a nice feature as well. If I were going to build a system in that price range I would look into a...
