Late Thursday night while setup was still going on I dropped by and met David Solomon for the first time. This brilliant group has engineered a glorious sounding product that embraces the Ipod generation in a way that may allow us the opportunity to make audiophiles out of them just yet. We can't wait to share The Decco with the next generation of Audiophiles who visit our store!

Thanks for the coverage John. The Decco had quite the reception @ RMAF. Turns out, many have music on their computers or servers and want to make them sound good w/o having to go out and buy a new sound card. One small correction, the Deco is $799 w/ 50 wpc and just started shipping to our dealers last week after nearly two years of development. If you have any questions, please email me or visit www.peachtreeaudio.com Best wishes, David Solomon

I've had one for about 6 weeks now. Basically it's a good quality amp which has on-board DAC and USB input that can interface directly with a computer as an external sound device. It also has conventional audio input. Sound is good (with good speakers, obviously), and probably better with the USB input. However, I've had problems getting my computer to reliably recognize it as a USB device, despite all the info given in the user's manual, and now have to rely on the conventional stereo input. Also, indicator light on the Aux input (which I now have to use) has gone out, suggesting some quality issues. Be aware that it has no balance or tone controls, and your computer sound controls will only be effective if using the conventional input, not the USB input, in which case you're stuck with the factory default settings. Also, be aware that (despite the assurance of the salesman) the vacuum tube on the face is mostly for decoration, glowing to tell you that the amp is on. I'm not s

Hi Don, Please accept our sencere apologies. If you're having any problem at all, we'll replace the unit...that's how we roll. We want our customers to be happy with the products we make and we won't settle for less. This is why our personal phone numbers are in each box. If there's a problem, we want to know so we can take care of our customers right away. I don't know too many other companies that can say this. To set the record straight, most high-end integrated amps have no tone or balance controls, although we do have a +6db boost @ 50Hz button on the back for smaller speakers. Our tube is not for appearences. The entire preamp signal is run thru the 6922. We have a small LED under it for cosmetic sake so you see the tube better,... because we liked it... And so you know, we use a 27v torodial transformer and National Semiconductor output stage. Please contact me and like any of our customers, we'll bend over backwards to see that you're happy. Best wishes,

I've had a Decco for over 2 months now connected via USB to my 17" HD MacBook Pro playing all AIFF-ripped files from my iTunes through era D5 monitors using Paul Speltz' anti-cable speaker wire. The combo sounds magnificent! I'm thrilled with both the Decco and the D5's. I also have it connected wirelessly via the mini-TOSlink jack on my Airport Extreme base station which sound great as well, I just don't like the 5 second delay when switching track selections. Also, Kimber makes a nice USB cable. Sounds great, no reliability/quality issues. I couldn't be happier. Thanks Signal Path, job well done.

A Decco HGB Aplifier has been recomended to me for a hi-def plasma setup I am putting together. The room (hi-rise condo) is a tough "wire" for multi channel and I was told the "center speaker" could be artificially created. I would utilize good B&W speakers. Any comments/recomendations?
