Octave vs Ayon integrateds

One of the best amps I've ever heard in my life was an Octave. I've never heard an Ayon.

It is funny how folks write things that are just wrong. Ayon is made in Gratkorn Austria. After the Munich show Ayon had an open house. A modern really cool factory.

I had an Octave and it was alright - I found the Ayon Triton III more dynamic and way more musical.

I have heard Octave amps and to my they sound good. I am not a tube lover. But I could very well live with Octave. The Octave phono module is great.

I have no experience with Ayon. But I would never buy them on looks alone. To much bling.

edit:

If i were you and you want tube amps, take a good look a Triode Company Japan or Cary.
