I've heard both and the Octave with the SBB beats it handily. A friend just got the v40SE with the simple BB and its spectacular. I have the SBB and its worth the price difference. Have fun!

Picking a Tube integrated amp
Hey all. Trying to figure out my amp situation and am looking at a few integrated to upgrade to.
I currently have a McIntosh integrated and want to move to tubes. I have the vivid v1.5speakers and a Clearaudio Concept. Looking at the following:
—Primaluna Dialogue premium or HP.
—Audio Research VSi60
—Octave v40SE
Question...does the AR still hold up? It’s likely it will be a used model, but curious if it’s still competing with the others I listed. Any others to consider?
Thanks!
