Carina 300

Excellent amplifier with a very good price-performance ratio

Purchased 6 months ago. Powerful, detailed sound, fine resolution. Sound is very good value for money in my opinion: Together with REL T9 and Qobuz/AUDIRVANA, Paul McCartney stands in front of you and sings “Let it be” just for you. Good features like very good phono preamplifier, nice display and design that really stands out. Minor criticisms: With L-Fast PCM setting, treble a little sharp, with other settings, a little washed out. Why a black wooden case that you can't recognize as wood? Bluetooth with short range. USB-B (instead of USB-C) printed on remote. I am very satisfied (my second Peachtree amplifier). (Transatlantic cross-border delivery including customs within 5 days!)

Happy with this? Well, d'uh!

I am so pleased I decided to buy this. I'm a Nova 65SE user from a while back, set up with a pair of D5 speakers. I was always very happy with the sound quality. However, my new Carina 300 has raised the bar a heck of a lot. Same speakers, but I sense they are now able to really shine (acoustically). My Nova is still doing wonders, but in the basement with some KEFs. I am so happy I chose Peachtree all those years ago (15 or so). I' a very happy camper!

Great customer service. Love the amp!
