Koetsu Rosewood Vs Rosewood Signature Vs HANA UMAMI RED advice please
@astolfor I have the Acoustic Signature Triple X initially with the Hana SL. Recently upped to the Red which is just stunning! If you like the Hana line you might consider it. Great table you have ;-) 
Octave V70SE vs Qualiton X200
@chipcalzone The store I demoed the Octave line had the entire Dynaudio line so I asked to hook up the Confidence 20's as well as the Contour 20i's.My jaw dropped. IMO the combo of the Octave and Dynaudio is a match made in heaven! Good Luck to you! 
Octave V70SE vs Qualiton X200
@chipcalzoneI’m using Spatial M3 Sapphires https://www.spatialaudiolab.com/shop/m3Definitely the best system I’ve ever owned and probably my last. Good Luck to you!

Octave V70SE vs Qualiton X200
@chipcalzone I was debating the X200 as well and had the option of doing a demo of Octave line. I wound up with the V70 Class A. It is the most resolving and detailed amp I’ve ever heard and very very responsive to different tubes. I originally de...

RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It
@nicktheknifeHopefully that change to the balanced output will do the trick. As I said I am very impressed with the RME in my system. I am using a upgraded power supply and good balanced cables into my amp and absolutely love the sound. I also lis... 
RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It
@nicktheknifeI have the RME hooked up to my Octave V70 Class A using the balanced connections and I’m completely happy with the sound which is rich and dynamic. I did change the power supply to a Teddy Pardo. I believe I have the filter set to slow. 
Tube Amp recommendations to drive Klipsch Forte III
Any of the Octave Amps would deliver to those big boys. I presently have the V70 Class A driving Spatial M3 Sapphires and it is sheer bliss.The V70se or V80se are just incredible amps as well. If you are not familiar with them. Good Luck! https://... 
PC for LUMIN X1 ! .... Shunyata? Nordost? Synergistic Research? AQ?
Some people including myself believe having the loom of cables from the same brand,  PC's to IC'c to SC's do create that synergy. Depends really on system matching IMO. For myself I went a dedicated line into a Synergistic Research Powercell 8 SE ... 
External Power Supply for Octave V70SE: What Improvements to Expect?
@undefined Tough to say whether the cost justifies the result. My initial thought would be yes, another factor is the size of your room and listening environment. But you’re right $1700 for that upgrade might or might not be worth it. Would your d... 
External Power Supply for Octave V70SE: What Improvements to Expect?
@undefined I would say the BB and SBB would make more of a difference with less sensitive speakers as yours are. My speakers are 92db and I got the SBB to drive the 15” woofers of my Spatial M3 Sapphires. Yours rated at 83db would surely benefit f... 
External Power Supply for Octave V70SE: What Improvements to Expect?
@undefined Great amp, congratulations!  I have recently purchased the V70 Class A with the SBB. Before that demoing the V40se with the BB.Depending on your speakers and sensitivity you will hear dramatic differences in low frequency control and ov... 
Raven Osprey with Spatial M3 Sapphires
+1 arafigAgreed price to performance ratio. These are all phenomenal amps each I’m sure with its own sonic signatures and their companies have rich histories. The Raven Reflection is the same price as my V70 Class A but I had a local dealer that I... 
Anyone have experience with Octave integrated amps?
@michobr59 at 88db the 70se or 80se should be fine driving the Revels depending on your room size and listening levels. I would go up to the 80se if I were you.   In terms of the Black Box vs. SBB either will give you more dynamics and low end con...
