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.

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.

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!
