Peachtree Nova 300

Interesting review.  Check out the video at the bottom.  Hilarious!  This reviewer calls it the best amp on the market.  While I like Peachtree, a lot actually and I feel their products punch above their weight for sure, this reviewer may only have limited experience and in a limited price range.

The Stereophile review used really old speakers with the Peachtree, it was a bad match apparently.  Why the reviewer didn't  try it with other speakers is in question.  Something must have changed because now Stereophile has it as a recommended component.  All other reviews for the 300 are very positive.  Also, the Nova 500 is out.  That might be worth investigating too.

I've owned the Peachtree Nova 300 for about a year and it sounds great and both the DAC and headphone amp are very nice and might make you think twice about getting either a dedicated DAC or headphone amp.  A lot of value for the money.

That Stereophile review was a joke... Really poorly tested.

I had the Nova pre and it did a fine job. I think PT makes fine systems. Their "Grand" series of components, which got outstanding reviews, are starting to pop up used.

The Nova 500 is supposed be the best thing they have ever done.  I doubt I will get it though.  I have the 300 in a second system, but I don't like it that it doesn't have a digital display and neither does the 500.  The volume nob doesn't turn so there is not indicator of where anything is at, you just have to use your ears.
