    Peachtree
    Nova300 Integrated Amp
    MSRP - $1,999
    On Peachtree’s Website- $1,499
    B-Stock Price - $1,199 (what I paid)
    Basic specs, copied from Peachtree’s website:
    • 300 watts per channel
    • Reference 9018K2M SABRE32 DAC
    • Moving magnet phono stage
    • Home Theater Bypass
    • Direct iOS input
    I will be using this beautiful integrated amp for my 2-channel videos for the foreseeable future. This amp is replacing my Emotiva XDA-2 and UPA-1 setup.
    Just wanted to shake things up a little. I really did love my Emotiva setup.

      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!

    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!

      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:)

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    • @blazermdx
      @blazermdx  Год назад

      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.

      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!
