Bargain Audiolab amp

[nopiano]

Not the most exciting amp, maybe, but this looks great value to me for 75wpc from a UK brand.

MM/MC phono stage too. Yours for £599 and 30 day returns.

WHF gave it 4* at £999 originally.

Audiolab 8300A Integrated Amplifier

Completely redesigned from scratch, Audiolab's new integrated amplifier, the 8300A is miles ahead of what was already an industry-leader.

That's a good price.
Cheaper than the 6000A.
I wonder how they compare soundwise.

Yes, very much so.
I would have been tempted at £540, that's for sure.

That's a great deal and the matching 8300CDQ is £699 so a nice system for £1300 plus speakers. They throw in a nice interconnect and 5 year warranty on both CD player and amp. Bargain.

Didn't you say £350 was tops for a decent CDP though Pod?🤔
That one's double....nice though it might be to have it matching.

I think the warranty helps and I don't think they would be a bargain without it. Some extended warranties are really high. I still think it's too much for this sort of product. It's far too pricey for a CD player and amplifier. Having a matching system is nice though. I still think £350 is enough for a CD player, but style and aesthetics do increase the asking price these days.

The offer prices should have been the original retail prices, but these companies get away with charging daft prices and sadly, people still pay them. I don't think a Leema Quasar is worth £3125 and the only reason I'm buying one is the £1000 trade in and the 5 year warranty. HIFI prices are crazy now, but you can't really haggle over the cost.

Back up to £799 when I had a look today…
