I'm most interested in how it pairs with SDA-CRS+ 4.1TL
Worth taking for a spin (for the downside of return shipping cost)?
Thanks.

    I would also be interested since I have been eyeing the nova150 for some time...I don’t need the power of the 300. I can say that I have really enjoyed my nova integrated that now belongs to @verb and my novapre.

    I have the Nova 150 and I think its a great all in one Integrated.. plenty of digital inputs, 2 analog including phono if you need it(phono input not strictly relegated to phono either) definitely plenty of power for my Tritons.
    Main 2ch -
    BlueSound Node->Ethereal optical cable->Peachtree Audio Nova 150->GoldenEar Triton 2+
    TT - Pro-ject Classic SB with Sumiko Bluepoint.

    TV 3.1 system -
    Denon 3500 -> Dynaudio Excite 32/22

    There's a lot to like. Great DAC, phono stage, inputs, processor loop, and preouts for a sub. Peachtree is also selling certified used units for $1500, including 1yr. warranty.

    But, it all comes down to sound. How are they on detail, clarity, and soundstage? The sound has been described as "warmer than neutral". Uses a class D ICEPower amp.

    The 300 has some great reviews. I think Darko even gave it a solid review.

    I still have the Decco and this one is only 50w but is class A/B instead of the newer class D and sounds great. Love it.
