Peachtree Nova 300: good reviews. Any members own Peachtree? YEA or NAY?

Peachtree Nova 300: good reviews. Any members own Peachtree? YEA or NAY?

I put this in Home Theater, no response, perhaps Peachtree is known here, if so, whadda yah say

Peachtree: YEA or NAY?

https://www.underwoodhifi.com/products/nova-300?utm_campaign=Underwood_20210820&utm_content=unde...

Has HT Bypass; Phono; DAC; Power

Sound Quality of prior Peachtree products?

Reliability?

Customer Service?

I could change my Home Theater from a Sony 7.2 AVR (no front preouts) to:

NEW 2 Channel Front Stereo System (peachtree above)

and

NEW Sony AVR with Front Preouts to the Peachtree.

It would be for ’supposedly’ better front sound for Video Content, 5.1 or 2 CH Video (never 2 ch audio only), so a lot of money involved, but tempting.

existing Sony AVR sounds darn good (thus could be a lot of money for a slight change only).

DAC, Streamer, Phono, all great but not needed.

Well, I could use it in my office and try streaming there, but my Luxman sounds great already, so just a Streamer/DAC would add that up here.

Just tempting, so, Is Peachtree Grest/Good/Just OK???

Front Speakers are/would be DBX Soundfield 100's

I owned the NOVA 150 for about 2-3 years and was my main gear. Just before I sold it I did some testing with other preamps connected to the amp section of the NOVA. I realized that the amp section of the NOVA was not bad. The preamp section was not that good. 

Peachtree is touting their new GAN amps as their best effort. I would look at that instead of the NOVA unless you must have an integrated. The NOVA integrated line will likely get the GAN amp treatment.

Not a fan....dry, grainy and analytical to my ears.  Build quality feels suspect.  I used to own one years ago.  But yes, in terms of features for the price I can see why it's attractive to many.

nicely styled gear with good feature sets, but sonically somewhere between mid fi and real hifi
