So, stereophile gave the Peachtree Nova a thumbs up and I had a chance to audtion one the other day. Up until then I was going to go with an A/V receiver, but was blown away by the sound of the Nova. http://signalpathint.com/index.php/Nova/Nova.html

Couple questions:

1.) I'm not too interested in surround sound and most importantly I want my music to sound good. I'm also going to use this system for movies, PS3, etc. Will movies still sound okay with the dialogue routed to the mains instead of a center channel?

Hi

Ive been using the originl Q series in my cinema system for years and love them, id be very interested to get thoughts on teh new Q series.

Thanks

Hey, as the title suggests, I'm trying to come up with a good system for my college residence, which is currently a dorm room and will most likely next year be a small house/apartment. As some background information, I don't have a ton of experience with hifi equipment besides experimenting with some ~$500 headphones/mp3 player (iPod, Cowon) combinations, but I decided to buy some decent speakers this year and I've really enjoyed having them. They are, however, kinda cheap, so I'm looking for something better.

I deciding on a pair of front speakers for my tv room - I have a great HT in another room but this is just for another tv room, no sub just a Definitive center speaker and i want to upgrade the fronts- i deciding on either the Paradigm atom V.2 or BA CR6 - any thoughts- plus I'm not running a Sub - will that affect which one I should buy?

Total Newbie here, I currently listen to a Sennheiser HD280 headphones through a Yamaha RX-V1200 A/V receiver. Will I see any improvements with HD595 or HD650? I play mostly mp3s around 320kps. (I know. I know. Not audiophile quality, but that's what I have to work with)

All the reviews on the HD650 says that I need a DAC or headphone amp to get the most of the HD650. Does this apply for the HD595?

Can my Yamaha RX-V1200 receiver work as a suitable amp for the HD650 or HD595?

the featured technology section or whatever? i want the forum to take up a whole page...

And here I thought I had deleted all that! YIKES!

Hi! I'm just starting out my hi fi journey and would love some advice from some experienced audio nerds. :)

Here is a little background. I have a surround sound system, Mission M71i mains, smaller missions in the back, mission sub, powered by a Yamaha RX-V440 receiver. I have no problems with it for movies but I want a dedicated 2 ch. system in a separate room strictly for music.

Hi all,

Bit of a noob in the world of high-end analog. I've been running a Rega P1 with a Sumiko Blue Point cartridge for a little under a year now. I've been happy with the sound. However, my cartridge has ended up with a bent cantilever somehow (thinking roomate/friend, but who knows), and won't track to the inner grooves of a side.
