Good Points: Power, Clarity, Neutral, Tight lower range.
Bad Points: Generates lot of heat, had to replace the RCA inputs at the back with heat resistant ones. Sounds even better, but a bit of a pricey operation.
General comments: Audiolab 8000A review - I like the way my simple tannoy M2's are being driven with ease because of its weighty output (60W/CH). It does every right to the Rega Planet 2000. No matter the volume level, the best is brought out of the recordings, without nasty high-mid/high tonal levels.
Before I had an Arcam Blackbox 5 connected to it. The sound was screamy, thus uncomfortable, in my relatively small room. Pairing it with a well balanced CD player seems a must, but that's nothing new, right?

I have an early version which predates the CD input, however due to the extra tape input, over the years I have never been short, even through the R77/dat/dcc/tape years.
The mm and mc preamp stages also shone with a linn lp12 + atoc5, though all my vinyl has now been digitised so now I just have a laptop with 1Tb hdd and the TV plugged in..... I know, I know, but I'm also head of a family of demolition experts, so I keep it all in the attic for retirement happy in the knowledge that the amp ...

I picked this Audiolab 8000A amp up 2nd hand on ebay for a snip. Previously I was using a Kenwood A45 amp, which was part of a 'system'. I have it hooked up to an ancient pair of Bang and Olufsen Bo1702 speakers which most certainly don't do the amp justice. None the less the clarity and precision of the AudioLab over the Kenwood was like night and day from the outset. That was using my original Kenwood sources T85 tuner, P96 turntable, can't remember the model of the tape deck.
I have sinc ...

The Audiolab 8000A amplifier has been a mainstay for years, taking a back seat to much more esoteric amps, but now back in daily use as a smaller room couldn't do justice to a bi-amped Krell setup. The Audiolab has consistently punched above its weight, but experiment with cables, as the results can be surprising. A good source will reveal detail and clarity that would be a surprise from much more expensive amps.
