I've decided to sell my Peachtree Nova 220se integrated amp. I love this integrated but its been sitting in the box in storage since I went to a tube integrated, so I'm going to sell it and use the funds to help pay for new speakers. I've already ordered Salk Song3's and if I sell this I may upgrade to the accuton driver. Anyway, the unit is in excellent condition. It's in the box currently so I don't have pictures but here is a link to a video of it (actual unit for sale) in action:

This integrated is stupid good for $1000. You can partner it up with the current special on the Kef LS50's and have a ridiculous sounding small system or use it with large speakers and blast away. I have the remote and power cord and original box. I will include shipping to the lower 48 and paypal fees at my asking price.
Lots of great reviews online. Here's one from Chris Martens of The Absolute Sound:

What caught my ear, first and foremost, was the Nova 220SE astonishingly broad and deep soundstaging that was so intensely three dimensional that I momentarily felt like getting up from listening chair to go introduce myself to the performers who magically appeared before. What also appealed to me was the way the Nova managed to sound revealing, but without becoming overstressed or overtaxed by the hard work of musical information retrieval. With some high-resolution amps, you get gobs of detail, but at the price of an ever-so-slight quality of edginess through which the amp telegraphs to listeners the fact that it is working really, really hard to extract all that content from the musical material at hand. With the Nova 220SE, however, you get probably 98%+ of the information, but with absolutely zero edge or other sonic histrionics.
The other thing you’ll notice early and often is that the Nova 220SE offers power to spare, so that you really have to watch yourself to avoid turning up your system to higher levels than are really advisable (either for your ears or for your neighbours). The amp section is so robust that it never really seems to be working all that hard... If you stop to think about it for a moment, that sum is less than some folks spend on interconnect cables alone! The funny part is that, at least as heard in my room, the Triton One/Nova 220SE combination is producing a sound that’s better in virtually every way than about 90% of the sounds I’ve ever encountered at high-end audio shows (and no matter what the cost of the gear in those demonstration rooms might be). If that’s not rock-solid value, then I don’t know what would be.
