Hi I also listened to Audiolab CDP through the Audiolab 8000A amp but felt speakers responded better to more power. Listened to Rega Appollo which was good too but lacked the clarity of the Audiolab. Also, Naim Uniti which was a little bit disappointing. I listen to most genres; beatles/stones, blues, motown, rock, a bit of jazz and a bit of indie. I won't be purchasing in the one hit but over a 4mth period.
My current system of NAD separates is approx. 20 year old and I'll probably put on Ebay.
(NAD 5325 CDP, NAD 3225PE, NAD8225 speakers).
I might try the new NAD power amp through my existing NAD3225PE. What do you think?
thanks for advice gangus
