Audiolab 8000 Q
Overview
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-amp, the 8000Q must provide all of the functionality and control required without imparting any character of its own to the audio signals. It's this neutrality that is so hard to achieve, and it is this that is the secret to its enduring appeal.
The Q is a simple, but high quality, remote control pre-amplifier with a range of inputs and outputs. 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 amps
