Thoughts on Peachtree Audio Nova300

I owned one for a quite a while, it's a very good unit and a great bargain at its price.  It is very neutral and has a really good DAC.  Someone mentioned it being a little "dry" sounding, which it is to some degree.  I've moved on from the Peachtree, first to a Vincent SV-237 and now a Simaudio 600i.  The Peachtree doesn't have quite the dynamics or details of either, but is very easy to listen to.  It sounds really good and you'll be hard pressed to find anything as good or better at the discounted price, especially if you like the looks and form factor and want an all-in-one unit.  

Thanks guys. I read a review of the 300 comparing it to the 150 and the reviewer felt like the 300 was significantly better than the 150 presumably due to the additional power since nothing else is different. 

I am most definitely not a gear guy and as long as I get reasonable sound stage and tight precise bass I am usually pretty happy. I know it is possible that the Aerial Acoustics 6Ts could be made to sound dry but I can hardly imagine it. 
Again this is not my primary system so it is unlikely that I’ll be too fussy over the SQ. 


And I have not seen too many other integrateds at this price ($1500 open box with 3 year warranty) with this level of power, connection options, pleasing appearance and good reviews. 

Still open to suggestions and additional thoughts on the 300. 

What is it that attracts you to the Peachtree?  Size?  Price?  Power output?  Nearness of manufacturer?

 Buy it and try it. 

@twoleftears Price and power. Digital optical in. Seems to have a decent DAC.  Size is okay. 3 year warranty on an open box special. Appearance helps since it is going in my wife’s living room which is formal in an old house. 

The closeness of the manufacturer seems nice but not sure it means much. 


Again, I’m very much open to other suggestions that tick those boxes for around $1600.
