Audiolab 8000C Pre Amplifier

 

 

A great example of this classic John Westlake designed pre-amp. Audiolab are a long standing renowned British HiFi manufacturer and the 8000c was one of their all time greats, achieving world wide success and a fantastic reputation for build quality and an excellent neutral sound. 

 

Punching well above its price tag when it was released and at todays prices and absolute sonic bargain.

 

 

This is a ‘control’ amplifier, managing the inputs and volume control, you will need to have a power amplifier/s to go with it. It has a host of gold plated RCA inputs:

 

 

CD, Tuner, Video in/out, 2xTape in/out

 

 

Also a high quality and very well respected Phono / Turntable input which caters for both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridges. This was the main reason I bought this unit and I made use of it as effectively a high quality Phono Stage, much better than many of the sub 500 phono stages of today and way more flexible.

 

 

It also usefully has two Pre outputs meaning you can connect it easily to one power amplifier in the normal pre/power combo or two power amplifiers for bridging, bi-amping or monoblocks.

 

 

Ideally partnered with Audiolabs other classics, the 8000P Power Amp or a pair of 8000M Monoblock’s, you can use it with most any power amp of your choice.

 

 

This example is in good original condition and sounds fantastic. It will ship with a mains power cable and be well wrapped.

 

 

Original specs:

 

 

Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHzTotal harmonic distortion: 0.01%Input sensitivity: 0.11mV (MC), 2mV (MM), 100mV (line)Signal to noise ratio: 75dB (MC), 79dB (MM), 90dB (line)Channel separation: 60dB (MM), 60dB (MC), 60dB (line)Output: 100mV (line), 0.707V (Pre out)Dimensions: 445 x 74 x 335mmWeight: 6kg
