On October 12, 2025, a Sunday filled with musical passion, our company, in conjunction with *Dengfeng Audio* magazine in Changsha, Hunan, hosted a highly anticipated flagship audio demonstration. This event was not only an audiovisual feast showcasing top-tier equipment, but also a journey of in-depth exchange between the organizer and seasoned audiophiles. Nearly thirty audiophiles were immersed in the ultimate sound, creating a vibrant and extraordinary atmosphere.
The core of this demonstration was a meticulously crafted, uncompromising flagship system, each component representing the brand’s highest pursuit of sonic artistry.
The German OCTAVE Jubilee flagship preamplifier/power amplifier served as the soul of the event, showcasing the ultimate craftsmanship of German tube amplifiers. It not only possesses the warm and delicate tone of tube amplifiers but also the powerful control and dynamic performance of transistor amplifiers, providing a solid and musically rich foundation for the entire system.
The British PMC SE series flagship BB5 SE, featuring three-way speakers with transmission line technology, was a perfect match for the OCTAVE system. PMC’s signature precise midrange and deep, expansive bass, driven by the Jubilee, deliver astonishing stage presence and detail, presenting everything from the grand scale of a large-scale symphony to the subtle nuances of chamber music with exquisite clarity.
The source section, comprised of a German THORENS TD 124 DD direct-drive turntable and a Burmester Phono 100 phono preamp, is equally impressive. The classic THORENS TD 124 DD direct-drive turntable ensures stable and precise signal transmission, while the Burmester Phono 100 phono preamp, also from Germany, fully unleashes the warmth and rich detail of vinyl records from the analog era, creating an immersive experience.
The entire system is connected by high-end Royal Crown cables from the Dutch Siltech series. The impeccable conductivity of its S10 single-crystal pure silver conductors ensures pure signal transmission, allowing every musical detail to be transmitted without loss, fully reproducing the equipment’s capabilities.
Connecting through audio, the owner of “Peak Audio” is a highly influential and seasoned audiophile with a deep passion and unique insights into vinyl records and tube amplifiers. The store’s signature “vintage wall” and extensive selection of secondhand items have made it a treasure trove for local audiophiles. His long-term management of online social media has brought together audiophiles of different ages, creating a powerful influence that ensures overwhelming response to every event.
In addition to the equipment showcased here, the store also regularly carries flagship tube amplifiers from renowned brands such as Manley and VTL for audiophiles to appreciate. Based on their in-depth understanding of VTL and other tube amplifiers, the owner and the seasoned audiophiles present gave high praise to the German OCTAVE flagship model. They believe that while both OCTAVE and VTL represent the pinnacle of tube amplifiers, their styles are distinct; VTL’s American boldness and power, and OCTAVE’s German precision and control, each have their own strengths, satisfying audiophiles’ pursuit of different musical expressions.
During the event, in addition to listening to music, we also provided guests with a detailed introduction to OCTAVE’s brand background, design philosophy, and product features, allowing everyone to not only “hear the sound” but also “understand the reasoning behind it.” This comprehensive analysis, from technology to listening experience, sparked lively discussions and questions from the audiophiles present.
After the demonstration, the engaging exchange continued into the evening. The host warmly invited more than ten audiophiles to a local specialty restaurant, where, in a relaxed atmosphere, everyone continued to talk about music and life, sharing their experiences with audio equipment. This cross-regional gathering allowed like-minded individuals to become friends, fully embodying the core value of “making friends through sound” in audio culture.
This OCTAVE flagship demonstration event at *Dengfeng Audio* in Changsha was undoubtedly a very successful and valuable experience. It not only showcased the ultimate performance of top-of-the-line audio equipment but also highlighted the importance of a vibrant audio community and a passionate host. We look forward to meeting again with *Dengfeng Audio* and audiophiles in Changsha in the future to explore more of the beauty of sound together.
