Octave Audio amplifiers


Any good? Who has them? How do they sound compared to, say, VAC, Allnic, Atma-Sphere, Japanese tube amps ? Look serious to me.

I have an Octave V70SE integrated and love the sound. The only other all tube unit I've owned is a Rouge Audio Tempest II Magnum that I really liked but the Octave does everything better.
Sorry Inna, I don't know how to explain those things. All I can say is it sounds very good to these ears.

these amps are German built and top quality. Never any junk-sourced (china) parts, of any kind. You can tube-roll to effect.

Vinyl-rig friendly too.  Whichever model you are considering always choose the "SE" version. Happy Listening!
I heard them once.  They are compact and very well-built, but didn't sound particularly "tubey" to me.  While most audiophiles will automatically say they want an amp that sounds neutral, IMO, when someone wants tubes, they want it to sound like tubes - for better or worse.
