In Lawrence Dickie, we have brought up the V.The V110 by Octave Audio brings delight to our senses.
Should these things be combined?
The V is a very handsome product. You do not see the model number displayed prominently.
The setting of four (4) tubes, aft, and three (3) tubes, fore, is pleasant.
The octave has seven (8) notes, majorly, yet 12, if you include semi-tones. Shades of gray, you see.
The knobs are well done, and placed, the trough is well-set and placed, and the VFD is good looking and intelligent (Vacuum Fluorescent Display).
If we are not mistaken, the center (middle) tube is lower-set than it's left (deft) or right counter-part, though the right seems closely-aligned.
Although the rear-box seems cheap (holding transformer), we do not mind it, on account of the joinery cum metal-work, and the side-set plate looks great. Note the left-inset rocker, and the handsome elongation of the front plate, in tribute to Kondo-san's Audionote Ongaku.
The V110 Power Integrated Amplifier by Octave Audio seems an astute and Bahaus tribute to Jadis.
