Peachtree Reliability issues?

rsangle...
I'll be listening through an ARC LS3 preamplifier and Thiel CS3.5 loudspeakers.  

From what I've seen on Peachtree's site it appears the 220se is being discontinued, being replaced by the Sona amp?  The Sona's specs are a tad lower in terms of output. 

I received my factory refurbished Peachtree 220se the other day and it was dead on arrival.  I hooked it up and it simply remained in standby mode, no other input would respond.  A brick.

I sent my email explaining my plight,  and Peachtree's immediate responses,  that's right,  plural responses,  sent by two different people for the same situation,  resolved it in an instant.

Their offer was not only quickly tendered,  it exceeded my expectations.

Mind you,  this was for a factory refurbished piece.

Kudos to them for outstanding customer service.  A rarity in any business these days.

Good to know about the customer service, oblgyn.

I'm going to try out the 220SE with a bluesound node and a lifatec silflex toslink. Hopefully it will impress me more...

So an update...

After lots of trial with different sources (direct USB, digital audio from the TV, digital audio from a Bluesound Node streamer) (Spotify, TIDAL, FLAC files etc), two TOSLINK cables... I just couldn't live with the 220SE. I so wanted to love it. But, it was just missing life and soul.

I returned the 220SE and purchased a new Naim Unitilite. It got delivered today. And my god... what a difference. Some of the tracks I listen to gave me goosebumps.

I am going to bed a very happy man.

Sorry to revive an old thread, I just received a Nova 300 that was purchased used, the first thing I noticed was that it turns on like no other amp I have ever owned. When powering on,  6 or 7 clicks in rapid succession is heard rather than the short pause then 1 click that I'm used to. Is this normal? Other than that the unit seems to sound and perform normally.
