Due to global and internal situation in our country inflation rate is 17%now and growing . Polish currency exchange rate to USD or Euro increased similarly. I guess we have to take it into account discussing prices.
Due to these new developments I adjusted my plans. Instead of saving up for the Bog Oak Version (+3k, so ~10k total) I decided to go with a regular Walnut Version.
I pulled the trigger just now, so the amp should be with me by end if dezember or early january.
PS:If someone needs a +1 for SR Purple fuses im Europe, I'd be interested for ~100€ (if the Deal even applies to european customers)
Funny how it took me nearly a year to finally pull the trigger.

Well I ordered the performance Version.
"Regular" was in regards to the wood, no custom wood as initially planned.
I'm moving to a new home next month, new man cave. A few last Minute changes to AV Rack and chair and now I think the slightly more affordable American Walnut Version will be an excellent fit.
You're probably right though, going forward the performance upgrade will be rather quesionable. If I got it right the Premium for the performance Version increased from 500€ to 800€
Best part about the new decision is, that I will be able to compare the Octave with the Envy directly side by side
That Walnut is gorgeous. And it's probably not sonically relevant, but for whatever reason I've always preferred equipment with Walnut (for instance headphones by Kennerton and Denon. Maybe imparts a slightly smoother/darker tone? At least in transducers). Congrats.
Since I bought it without selling anything and I have the costs of moving this year, the Elrogs have to wait till next year. They will come though, that's guaranteed

Yeah I love Walnut. My desk has walnut my chair has some walnut elements. It will be tastefully sprinkled around the room.
It's my favourite wood for sure. (I also love bog oak, but one can't really use it heavily due to price)

Sounds like a good plan. Given how much the Octave V16 + Super Black box cost and how much you'd make off it, it would be nice to keep it if space allows etc.
Pm’d regarding the purple
Ordered the Elrogs yesterday… can’t wait for that!!
What I need now is a good power cable. I do have a bit of noise. SU-6 helped reduce it quite a bit. Anyone have any suggestions ??? Not looking for the crazy $$$ cables….something semi-reasonable, definitely < 1,000 ?

I like NRG Custom Cables from Canada.
Certainly among the more affordable offerings.
However I can't really give comparisons to other after market cables.
They are certainly better than stock but I don't know how they compete against the expensive stuff

You could put a very good one together very easily. I built one from top of the range Furutech NFC plugs with PowerStrada #309. By the time you add a fuse, braided sleeving and shrink wrap you'd have a really high end cable for less than £800
