I’ve had a nova500 since mid December and (finally) really like it, it took a long time to run-in but that was with new everything (speakers, source, etc,) so I don’t think it’s fair to say the Peachtree is all to blame. Initially it sounded HORRIBLE... flat, no sound stage, compressed dynamics, etc. all those things people talk about hating in authentically reproduced music,
Now that I’m 200+ hours in, I have to say it’s bordering on outstanding. Also no crackles, bumps or other oddities. It just works as advertised and honestly sounds better every day.
Rest of the stuff: Dynaudio Contour 60, SOtM SMS-200 Ultra Neo SE and Roon 1.6 playing a combination of HiRes and Tidal.
