The New Audiolab 9000 series

Audiolab have launched a brand new 9000 series of products, which comprises of the 9000CDT CD drive plus a 9000A integrated amplifier.

The 9000CDT and the 9000A integrated amplifier have a very clean and fresh appearance and share a similar design with a full colour IPS LCD screen on both models.

The 9000CDT is a significant step up from the 6000CDT in build, design and sonics. Our listening tests showed the 9000CDT to offer a more expansive sound picture, delivering a more convincing holographic image with greater density and depth, a rich tone, and a smooth presentation. This level of sound quality is rare at this price point of £999.

The 9000A amplifier chassis is of a heavy aluminium construction and offers a real step up from the 8300A. The new premium design, incorporating a full colour 4.3” screen which includes an optional digital VU meter display to add a retro appearance.

This is a flexible unit which offers both digital and analogue inputs and includes a new MM or MC phono stage, a DAC built around the Sabre ESS 9038PRO DAC chip for streaming, and a headphone amplifier.
