Peachtree Audio Nova125SE

The nova125SE benefits from trickle down technology by using the discrete Class-A preamp stage from Peachtree's top-of-the-line Grand Pre X-1. With a 100dB signal-to-noise ratio, the nova125SE reveals micro-detail such as decay, texture and the acoustics of the recording space. This level of detail creates an addictive listening experience that never gets harsh or bright. The nova125SE makes it simple to enjoy your music, from Pandora to high resolution downloads, with uncompromising quality. With an amplifier that delivers up to 200 watts per channel at 4 ohms, the nova125SE comfortably drives inefficient loudspeakers, allowing you to experience your music's full dynamic range. The nova125SE features a built-in 24/192 upsampling DAC that upgrades any digital source - from a computer to a Sonos Connect to an Apple TV. Connect your turntable (requires phono preamp) or SACD player to the pure analog AUX input. Headphones sound better than ever with the built-in headphone amp, which delivers ten times more power than the typical headphone output. The nova125SE includes Peachtree's signature triode tube buffer, which can be engaged to soften bright recordings and create a more natural sound. The preamp stage delivers a balanced signal to the internal amplifier for noise-free sound. The preamp also drives a set of RCA pre outs to connect to an external power amp or powered subwoofer. The nova125SE has a distinct industrial design. The cabinet is made from wood sourced from sustainable resources certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. The front panel is made from thick six-millimeter bead blasted aluminum with a soft cool gray finish, and features soft-touch power and input buttons with blue LED indicators. A glass window gives a view of the triode tube, which is illuminated by a blue LED when engaged. These are some of the simple touches that provide pride of ownership in an age of disposable hardware. A full-featured remote control is included.
