It's a great deal if you hook it up to a computer. If not, you are better off using more conventional tube integrateds or separates. Personally, I feel that the Peachtree model is the future of music. I understand that listening to analog records gives the best sound but for budding mid-fi to hi-fi consumers born in the age of CDs and MP3s, most of our music is on hard drives through lossless downloads or rips. If you have a large collection of LPs and tapes, you may want to sell it for a profit and wait for the technology to develop.
The Peachtree is a first generation product. As the market for tube preamps with a USB connection increases, I feel that more manufacturers will make higher quality products in the future. But for now, the Decco is a real peach.
