Amplifier Audiolab 8000A/8000P
This pair of the British amplifiers was not quite "correct" two-block amplifier. And if in reality 8000P is a power amp, the "preamp" 8000A is a complete integrated amplifier which acts in this configuration as a preliminary one. And it copes with this task quite successfully as 8000A has the output...

Preamplifier Audiolab 8000C
The 8000C preamplifier precisely matches in size, style and quality of construction its stable mate the 8000P; like it too, discrete transistor amplifier stages are employed throughout; integrated circuits have been eschewed. Although all the components, with the exception of a toroidal power transformer...

CD-player Audiolab 8000CD
British Audiolab has managed to become quite a popular hi-fi brand, despite the relatively modest production capacity and a limited range. Fame came to it more than twenty years ago with the release of 8000A amplifier, which ranked among the best designs of that time, standing out by a neutral sound...

DAC Audiolab 8000DAC
Here we have a DAC that is cleverly designed, excellently made and well-equipped; which measures superbly and which has earned the enthusiastic approval of a broad spectrum of listeners. The fact that it is also competitively priced is the icing on an exceedingly fine cake. That's how we concluded...

Amplifier Audiolab 8000S
The first amplifier with such a number and Audiolab logo was released almost thirty years ago, but with the index "A". At that time the company was British and now it belongs to the Chinese concern IAG, which also includes such famous brands as Quad, Mission and Wharfedale. The new owners did not change...

Tuner Audiolab 8000T
In the majority of digitally synthesized tuners (basically those where the tuning oscillator frequency is compared with a quartz crystal) variable tuning is under the control of a pair of Up and Down buttons; if there is a knob it is nothing but a mechanical substitute achieving the same thing. To avoid...

Amplifier Audiolab 8200A
Any hi-fi buff who hasn't heard of Audiolab frankly isn't one. The name goes back to the mid-eighties, when the original 8000a proved a tremendous success with fairly well healed, hi-fi loving families. It was refined enough for Dad's classical music, yet could pump out serious amounts of power for young...

CD-player Audiolab 8200CD
The ultra-modern 32-bit ES9018 chip from the American manufacturer ESS Technology lies at the heart of Audiolab 8200CD CD-player. The passport data of the device are impressive: a dynamic range of 133 dB with a signal-to-noise ratio of more than 120 dB! A sound processor with four algorithms for digital...

CD-player Audiolab 8200CDQ
Externally the model is completely identical to the "pure" 8200CD player, but at the same time offers the user a much broader functionality. Audiolab 8200CDQ combines a section of a CD player, a high-end DAC and a pre-amplifier with several analog inputs. A precise drive with a smooth motion of the loader,...

Amplifier Audiolab 8200MB
The monoblock develops a continuous power of 250 W at the load of 8 Ohm and this means that it can completely satisfy the demands of the most powerful models of home acoustics. Three pairs of 17-ampere transistors (2SC2922/

Tuner Audiolab 8200T
Dating back to the early eighties, Audiolab's brand proposition was always a little different to the likes of the stripped-down, minimalist Exposures of this world. Even then, its products were bristling with facilities, and not silly ones either, but useful real-world features that made the user experience...

DAC Audiolab M-DAC
Externally, the M-DAC is markedly different from all the converters, which are still offered the audio industry. It is relatively small and lightweight, powered by an external adapter, but at the same time looks like a very serious device. The rear panel of five digital inputs: a pair of coaxial, pair...

Network player Audiolab M-NET
Network players appeared quite a long time ago. But firstly it was very expensive devices (as for example Linn Klimax DS released in 2007), then they reached out and began to rise a greater fame. That is not surprising, because now audio technique is going through another revolution, even more radical...

DAC Audiolab Q-DAC
Following on from the success of the M-DAC a couple of years back, Audiolab recently launched a stripped-down version with a slightly cheaper DAC chip and no rotary volume control or balanced XLR audio output sockets. Effectively a DAC preamp, the Q-DAC is very well specifi ed by the standards of the...
