Re: Time to say...... Goodbye?

Re: Clearout - some free

I can't justify taking it, but for a very long time I wanted an Audiolab 8000A SO MUCH! It was *the* desirable amp upgrade when I was getting into this hobby, and everything about it appealed to me. Deep down I'm still sorry I never had one.

Re: Wanted

Funny, I was just wondering about one of these myself. I'm not sure if I'm particularly sensitive or my TT is acting up, but I'm finding speed instability a real problem with vinyl listening at the moment. I wondered how effective this might be.
