The Peachtree Audio Nova is a ton of fun and has a bright future as everyman's high end integrated
amplifier, DAC, or preamp. Hence the title of this review, Champagne Supernova. Champagne always
involves fun and Supernovae are incredibly luminous. Champagne Supernova is also a reference to the
Oasis song of the same name. A seven minute anthem that hit number one on the modern rock charts in
the U.S. and has been played at every Oasis concert since it was written. The song has been spinning my
NAS hard drives quite a bit lately. Sure the Peachtree integrated amp is called the Nova, but the musicality, enjoyment, and versatility of this piece may
warrant the name Supernova.
