Audiolab 6000A Integrated Amplifier

An amplifier remains the beating heart of any high-performance audio system, a truly versatile integrated amp needs to cover many bases – digital and analogue sources, wireless connectivity for portable devices, a phono stage to cater for vinyl playback, amplification for headphones as well as speakers…

That’s a lot to pack in, whilst keeping performance high and the price tag affordable – and yet, that’s exactly what the 6000A delivers.

Fusing together connectivity, flexibility, and sound quality, the 6000A is a great solution for those looking to enhance their audio experience.

Its design-led features and durable build ensure reliability and long-lasting performance.

FEATURES

• MULTIPLE INPUTS:  It supplies four digital inputs, three line-level analogue inputs, an input for a turntable, wireless connectivity via Bluetooth and a dedicated headphone amp, in addition to its ability when driving loudspeakers.
  
  
• ANALOGUE CIRCUITRY: The 6000A has a 50W/8 Ohm Class AB power amp stage with 9 Amp max current delivery. Its CFB output stage ensures superior linearity and thermal stability. It contains a 200VA transformer and 60000uF reservoir capacity for dynamic range, plus a simple preamp section and precision volume stage (-80dB to +8dB in 2/1dB steps). Circuitry is carefully arranged for noise protection of the preamp.
  
  
• HIGH-PERFORMANCE: Audiolab leveraged the 32-bit ES9018 Sabre32 Reference chip family, ESS Technology's HyperStream architecture, and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator for the 6000A's digital circuitry to maximize quality. No other knows more about optimizing this challenging DAC tech.
