Audiolab 6000A Review - This Integrated Amplifier Has It Going On!

But you will lose a little bit of the presentation that the 6000a excels at small details such as the remote will also come into play here, but items ...

(Driven by an Audiolab 6000A Play integrated amp sitting on a dual-purpose kitchen chair / amp stand.). First impressions have been very good. They definitely punch above their weight.

Over priced

This is a very well made piece of audio geer, heavy sturdy all metal construction.

According to photos on the internet, the internal parts and layout quality is top notch.

However, mine has an issue with the volume control.

No matter what direction I turn it, the level decreases. Only using the the ...

First setup ft. Will Smith

Amp is Audiolab 6000a. Turntable is a Rega Planar 2. Thankfully I don't have a neighbour on the other side of this wall and the speakers don't rumble the floor so hopefully my downstairs neighbours don't hear too much.. Hopefully when I get a house I'll have a room to turn into a listening space and purchase some upgrades but for now this is perfect.

Lackluster sound

My boom box level Denon m38 amp blows Audiolab out of the water. That little Denon box is rated 6 ohms, and drives Dynaudio Emit10s like a dream. I returned Audiolab, NAD, Yamaha amps almost immediately. (Kept the NAD CD player, which brings an absolute improvement to the overall sound). I wanted to...

New Amp Week - Audiolab 6000a w/ Node

Found a great deal on a new Audiolab 6000a so I decided to upgrade from my Powernode 2i. I also purchased the new 2021 Node as I enjoy the streaming functionality of BluOS. Overall I am very happy with the upgrade. First of all the Audiolab pre-outs brought my SVS sub to life it seems.

Ergonomics are poor

I think the sound quality is good. Whether it's worth the price I'm not 100% sure, since I don't have another amp to compare it to in the same room and with the same speakers.

I appreciate the flexibility of its inputs. It has stereo pre-outs if you wanted to use it as a preamp in the future, and a...

New House - New System

System is an Audiolab 6000a integrated amplifier, with Q Acoustics 3050i floor standing speakers. The source is a Cambridge Audio CXC CD-transport running into the DAC on the amp. Sounds good so far, more transparent than my old system, but a bit bright and I was expecting a bit more impact from the bass from the speakers. I’m assuming they will bed-in over time, as I have only just setup and started listening today!.

Overrated -- there are better $1,000 amps out there

It's an average amp, but hardly the spectacular amp most reviewers make it out to be. I ended up buying a separate power amp and am using the audiolab as a preamp because the 6000A did not adequately drive my Epic 2 bookshelf speakers. Those speakers have an efficiency of 90db and sounded better dri...

My "I'm working away from home and miss my stereo" set up

Easily the best headphones I've ever had, much better bass extension and detail than my Grado SR80s. They sound amazing plugged into my Audiolab 6000a and sound fantastic with this DAC running Tidal.
