Chigurh Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 This happened today after I swapped speakers. There is sound from the right channel but it's quite distorted. It does it from all sources and there is distortion whether it's output is through the speakers or headphones. I thought I had turned the amp off before I changed over the speakers but noticed afterwards that it was actually on. I probably bumped the power button. Is this worth fixing? Amp is probably 6 or 7 years old.
ThirdDrawerDown Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 An upgrade to some peachtrees has been launched and will eventually make it to Australia. Which raises the possibility of the upgrade superseding your current problem? https://www.peachtreeaudio.com/nova150-amplifier-with-dac.html The local service agents are available as listed on their web site. Maybe ask them? Peachtree servicing is horrible, due to Peachtree regarding anything that involves lifting the lid as "proprietary", which means that any general repair shop doesn't have access to the schematics. You may encounter Sony-type levels of hassle.
Chigurh Posted November 12, 2019 Author Posted November 12, 2019 It's not my main system so I'm not really prepared to go through lots of hassle and expense to get it fixed. It's a shame as it looks way too nice to toss in the bin. I'm weighing up some alternatives. Modern amps have so many bells and whistles! I'm thinking an Onkyo TX-8270 (probably cheapest option), Bluesound Powernode 2i, or sell my floorstanding speakers (Tannoy XT8F) and get some active standmounts like the Acoustic Energy AE1 active or the KEF LS50 wireless. Too many options!
