Long time …Welcome back
Thank you Nana! I was hoping you hadn’t abandoned me, due to the lack of content.
It’s strange but people kept subscribing, even with no content. That really helped be get over my insecurities and start posting again.
Thank you again for the continued support!
@@blazermdx My pleasure!
Welcome back, Dustin. Good to see you again, bud. I'm glad to see you producing content again. Really looking forward to the Polk R200 review. I had a chance to audition the R100 in my home a few months ago, and really liked them. So much, that I pulled the trigger on the slightly classier, L100 bookies. I have a feeling the Polks will take the mantle in your permanent 2ch rig.
Thank you as always, for the kind words and encouragement!
I almost talked myself into the L100 or L200 but I really wanted white bookshelf speakers this time. That, along with the $549 sale price on the R200, I just had to grab them.
I now wish I had kept those LSiM703’s, for a comparison.
Congrats on those L100, they are beauties!
waiting for the review, I read and hear only good things about these!
I got too excited last night and hooked it up the 600M. Holy smokes!
The Emotiva monoblocks were awesome but I can tell this amp has way more control.
Can’t wait to get off work and hook it up to my KEF R3’s now. Don’t you just love getting new audio equipment:)
Thanks again for the videos and the support!
Keep up the great work! I bought a mint, used pair of Monitor Audio RX speakers on ebay based on your RS 1 speaker review! I love them, using a Yamaha M65 to drive them. Late 80s vintage amp! Looking forward to the review on the Nova integrated amp. I just refurbished my Kef 104 speakers, would love to see you get a pair of those to compare to your others! Keep the videos coming.
Beautiful Aunt! Can’t wait to see the Polk Klipsch comparison video! I am very interested in those R200 speakers
Thank you! It really is a beautiful piece, I even wen in and just stared it last night, when I got up to get some water. Haha
Yeah, I’m excited to put the R200 to the test. Should be a fun comparison, especially with this new amp:)
Thanks again for stopping by, my friend!
Great integrated amp you won't be disappointed. I had the 150 Nova and 300 with my Cornwall III"s. I'm up to their recent releases Gan400 with the Predac. If you can step up tp the Nova 500 it's a big step up in sound quality even at lower volume levels.
Really gorgeous amp. I bought a used Nova125 a few years ago. Great sounding and reliable! Thanks for promoting Peachtree Dustin.
Just stumbled across this channel, been binge watching the hell out of it.
Quick question, I'm a little surprised you haven't covered any Paradigm speakers, any opinions on them? I always found they had some good budget options. I've bought/sold quite a few speakers from them, def tech, jbl, infinity, klipsch, etc and most of the stuff I used in my personal systems is either definitive tech or paradigm speakers
Welcome back! Been looking forward to some content!
Ive had the Nova 300 for a year now. I upgraded the powercord to the WireWorld Aurora 7 and got the Black Ice Audio Fox SS-X tube buffer/expander per suggestion from Peachtree to the loop option. Defiantly added more holographic sound to a great integrated amp. The 300 is pushing some late 80's Vandersteen 2C's with authority!
You are doing great, and much appropriate the info. Not sure what you are using to capture audio but I just got a Tascam DR-10L. Look into that, I highly recommend it.
Thank you for the advice! Right now, I’m just using a nicer quality lapel mic but with the direction this channel is going, I need to upgrade soon.
I’ll look into the Tascam DR-10L. Hopefully it works with my iPhone, which I should also upgrade. It never ends. Haha
Thanks again!
@@blazermdx the tascam is just an Audio recorder, so you would just sync them up on your video editing tool. i got it cause the gopros audio was junk, and the Sennheiser set up i have works only with a camera that has an audio port. with the Tascam i can just record the audio, and its a ton better, and then sync it in post so it eliminates the need for and audio amplifier and wireless mics.
Yoooo Dustin, I've been waiting to see a new upload from you! I've gone through almost your entire library of videos ha.
Sheesh that thing is gorgeous. Forget the black. I love the wood finish
Thank you for the support and the encouragement, David!
I just thought black would go better in my room but after seeing this gloss wood finish in person, I’m very happy with my selection.
This thing is beautiful!
I just got the GaN 1 from Peachtree, it is AWESOME!
Excellent choice! I’m just loving these ICE amps, might even replace my Monolith 5X, with some Peachtree amps.
What are you powering with that beast?
@@blazermdx Magnat Transpuls 1500s. But I'm about to sell them and get some tektons
@@Pete.across.the.street You have excellent taste!
I emailed Tekton last week to get a quote on 3 Impact Monitors in blue.
I MIGHT be replacing my 3 KEF R3 but I’ll need to lick my wounds on this Peachtree.
That amp will make those Tektons sing!
From average guy to high end guy 😅
That’s one thing I’m hoping to avoid, as I really think my niche is affordable audio.
Unfortunately, my tastes have gotten on the more expensive side, with all the gear I’ve purchased and tested.
When I buy something for myself, I tend to splurge a little more than I should.
Im planning on grabbing some more used equipment soon though. Thanks Isaac!
@@blazermdx You do live in Seattle so its okay to splurge once in a while no worries, as long as you mix it up with some great budget deals for us 😅
DUDE . Where you been.. missed you..... Bought one of these things used a few months ago.. curious to see what your thoughts are
Yeah, I know.. It’s been waaay too long this time, so long that I felt bad:/
I’m so happy to hear you have a Nova300! Unfortunately, you will have to tell me your thoughts on it, since I likely won’t have it hooked up until the weekend.
I’m excited to test it out though! Should be a fun shootout between the 600M and the R200:)
I use the blue Jean cables with peachtree 300, martin logans 60 ti. No problem.
Learned a ton from you D hang in there bro'.😅
Hi.. is there any bass, treble or tone control anywhere? Thanks.
Thanks for video going to return my Rotel
I like Rotel also! What Rotel are you returning? I’m not saying you shouldn’t return it but I also know they make some killer integrated amps.
With that said, I’m totally smitten with this Nova300, it’s one of the best audio purchases I’ve ever made!
Oh if you order from PeachTree, please let them know about my little channel. Maybe I can get them to send me a Nova500. Haha
@@blazermdx yea i am returning a rotel RC-1572mkII and the 130W RB 1552MKII I am going to go with th peachtree nova150 great reviews integrated and a great DAC for 1299$ that a great price for what paid for the rotel system 2500$
@@blazermdx lol ok i will do
Looking to purchase used Triangle Borea Bro-8 speakers in ash black. Can you help?
Unfortunately, I have zero experience with Triangle speakers. And I only like to comment when I have first hand experience.
With that said, I’ve read some very positive reviews about those speakers and Triangle speakers in general. I’m always searching for the right used pair, to tryout.
Sorry I’m not of any help here!
What do you think about the Fluance XL8F speakers
I live here in Snoqualmie and have a few sets of speakers you might be interested in reviewing. We seem to have the same taste if you would like to reach out.
The Nova 300 or 500 is keepers as well as Emotiva. Keep it all lol... im a horrible collector
Haha! I have too many speakers and not enough room..
Every time I sell something, I miss it instantly. I should start a Patron account and keep it all, for the locals to enjoy. Haha
Like my 300 but dislike the remote
That little amp is 600 watts?!?! WTF?
Yeah, 300 watts x 2 Class D. It’s a real powerhouse.
After spending some time with it, it’s one of the best audio purchases I’ve ever made. I just love it!
