    A true classic British pre-amp! One of the very best ever made
    Reviews
    Reference pre-amp of Hifi World Magazine
    5* from What Hifi
    Highly reviewed by Hifi Choice

    Specifications
    http://www.artech-electronics.com/us/products/audiolab/8000q.html
    2 sets of pre outs
    Adjustable gain to drive low gain power amps
    Toiroidal Transformer
    Three tape loops
    IEC socket to accept aftermarket powercords

    Costs 1100 pounds new

    Condition
    As you can see in the photos, the pre-amp is well-kept. It has been a hifi rack and was cleaned with a damp cloth occasionally.

    Sound
    If you want a natural sounding pre-amp versatile enough for a range of music, this is the one. Audiolab is natural and very even-handed – the advantage is that you can use the pre for a wide range of music (unlike other brands that play rock well but cannot handle jazz). The sound is refined, clear and has a beautifully melodic vocal tone.

    I've lost the Audiolab remote, but will include a Philips remote that allows you to control CD, tuner, volume etc.

    Selling only because I have moved to a new place where there is no place for a proper hifi setup. This pre amp was purchased and used together with the 8000Mx
