Peachtree Audio nova150 Integrated Amplifier with DAC in Gloss Ebony Mocha: Superior Sound Amplification and Digital Audio Conversion Review

Bought as a built in hi-fi stereo to better drive some Polk lsim 703's. Did the job perfectly and I particularly like the HTB feature, along with the two USB inputs and the overall options available. Well thought out and quite stylish!

Keep in mind that I have my own theater room with an Anthem AVM 60 (I've used that for music - to the point of being a theater only room - I mean - who really needs a bedroom). So - I don't do vinyl, seriously - it doesn't sound any better, and it's scientifically proven. I use a Rega Planet 2000 CD player (as my mode of transport) - the DAC in the Peachtree NOVA is amazing and I listen to two vintage B&W 805s. I won't frame this review with audiophile sound…

First of all I would like to let you know that I didn't buy this from Revain. I bought from a local store and wanted to share my thoughts as a shopper with the Revain community. I'm by no means an audio file expert, but I love good sounding music and I play music. I currently use the Sansui G-7000 for everyday driving needs. If you're familiar with vintage sound, it's from the golden age of sound. Powerful pounding heartbeat sound from 2 amazing channels. This circa 1978 85-watt-per-channel…
