FYI- I purchased a Peachtree 220 amp and it hooked up to the main outs of a B&K receiver. There was some sort of conflict that was creating a very audible hum/hiss out of speakers like a ground loop. Did a little research and put a 2 prong cheater plug on the B&K power cord, fired up the Peachtree and the hum/hiss disappeared instantly. Dead quiet at idle now.
Thinking about getting a Nova125
Hello,
I've been considering getting into a Peachtree Nova 125. According to reviews, it seems to be a solid piece of gear that pleases most.
I currently have separates that I got here and there in used condition. NAD C162 pre, Aragon 2004 amp, Emotiva XDA-1 DAC and Paradigm Studio 10 speakers. I do most of my listening from a Sonos that is pulling files from an NAS.
I think the system sounds pretty good, but I do have a bit of an upgrade itch to scratch and my cabinet is really over stuffed; so, I was thinking that I could scratch my itch and kill three birds with one stone.
My question is this. Would this be an upgrade or more of a side ways shuffle?
I'm also a little concerned about the power capabilities of the little Nova. I mean, my Aragon weighs something around 40lbs by itself and the Peachtree weighs just over 20lbs. How can the little Peachtree pack as much punch as advertised? If the specs don't lie, the Peachtree should have more grunt than my Aragon.
Thanks.
