Audiolab 8000Q Pre Amplifier - Black

Here we have an example of the 8000Q preamplifier produced by former British specialist manufacturer Audiolab. It is in the later Black finish and cosmetically there are some minor marks and blemishes but it is in fully working condition. It will come supplied in original factory packaging along with remote control unit, manual, mains cable and our usual three month warranty.
Audiolab Say….
Separating the delicate signals that pass through pre-amplifier circuits from the high current, field inducing signals that pass through power amplifiers has obvious electrical benefits.
Reliable and robust, the ‘Q’ has been a stalwart of the 8000 series. Good pre-amplifiers are few and far between in the audiophile world. To be considered such an audiophile pre-amplifier, the 8000Q must provide all of the functionality and control required without imparting any character of its own to the delicate audio signals. It’s this neutrality that is so hard to achieve, and it is this neutrality that is the secret of the 8000Qs enduring appeal.
The 8000Q is a simple, but high quality, remote control preamplifier with a wide range of inputs and outputs. All signals are switched with audiophile signal relays and the volume control is a motorised potentiometer.
The low impedance line amplifier is a miniature class A power amplifier with current mirror bias - ideal for use with long interconnects to multiple power amplifiers.
