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.

I have to say the guys at PS Audio have spoiled me lately with some really great components to review. First was the DLIII DAC and now the GCHA with a nice Duet power center to top it off. This doesn't mean I'm letting them off easy when it comes to this review. The GCHA is a really good headphone amp with nice features for a very reasonable price. It is certainly not perfect, but I'm willing to bet most readers would have a hard time finding any faults with this amp. If you want to slap on your Grado RS-1s and rock, this is an amp you must check out.
