I t’s not often we come across an amplifier that is able to challenge the Award-winning Marantz PM6007 (see left) – our reigning champion when it comes to mid-priced stereo amplifiers – but the Audiolab 6000A has a go.
The basic ingredients
The Audiolab 6000A uses Class A/B amplification, with a claimed power of 50W per channel into 8 ohms. The pre-amplifier section is kept as simple as possible to maintain signal integrity, while the layout aims to keep noise interference and distortion down to a minimum. There are also independent power supplies for critical stages of the circuit, and a dedicated headphone amp that uses current-feedback circuitry.
