Peachtree Audio 2.0

I have a theory "People tell you who they are....believe them"


Same with products. Yes, many people return due to lack of knowledge, color, etc. However, audiophile are ones who dig a bit deeper with expectations of audio components. Maybe take some Amazon reviews with a grain of salt, but I would place more weight on what audiophile Peachtree buyers are saying. 

With that said, My NovaPre, about 6 years ago, developed a major issue. I returned to PT and the turnaround was quick and not a problem since. 

I bought a Peachtree Nova 150 about 2 months ago and couldn't be happier.  It's my upstairs system and playback is all Flac files from JRiver on my laptop to Elac B6's.  Dead quiet - fast/responsive - musical -resolving - good soundstage and imaging, attractive package on a desktop.

My Downstairs system is Wadia 860/Bryston 4BST/Vandersteen 3A Sig - While there is no comparison between the two systems - different animals and pricepoints - $16,000 vs $1700 - but not that dissimilar...

The Peachtree is a quality item....

I agree. I'm one not to purchase a new model when it first comes out anyway. I believe Oppo has some dips in the road as well with the new 203 player as well.

I have a Peachtree NovaPre for some 4 years and it has been trouble free. It sounds great and I love the flexibility of all the inputs.  I have Node 2 connected directly to the NovaPre via Toslink thru which I stream Tidal.

I also have my laptop attached thru a USB cable directly to the NovaPre. I do remember that when purchased my new Lenovo about a year ago, I had some crackling issues. IIRC I was able to clean them up completely by reinstalling the driver.
