 Everything ...(imaging, focus, sizing, sorting, avoidance of nasties,
tone, articulation, resolution) was quite beyond reproach and likely
explains why the Nova walked off with Stereophile's Component of the
Year 2009. As the newest iteration of the Peachtree platform, the
iDecco sports an already refined and matured circuit. Far more than
icing on the cake, the addition over the Nova, of a $3.000 built-in
music server (iPod not included), inevitably forces the hand of our
publication's award scheme. Lunar eclipse. There, I've slipped that
early. This award—we've only given it out four times in eight years—is
reserved for break-out performance and novel solutions.
