Classic Audiolab pre power combination comprising:

8000C Pre amp.

2 x phono inputs, switchable so that you can run 2 turntables at the same time and switch between them. One input is MM the other is MC. I have used both extensively, the MM mating well with whatever MM cart I threw at it, but worked very nicely with the Ortofon 2M black and Goldring E3, as well as being suprisingly good with an old empire 2000E. The MC stage was excellent with my Hana ML. Dedicated CD input. Dedicated headphone stage, drove both my Sennheiser HD800 and Oppo PM3 without any issues. 2 x Tape loops (in & out), plus another 2 line inputs Defeatable tone controls Balance control Mute switch (very handy when switching inputs or changing LPs )

8000P power amp.

Conservatively rated at 100w/ch into 8 ohm. HIfi world measured 144w/ch and 40a output when they measured these models in 1993, so plenty of power even for hard to drive speakers. 2 x RCA inputs 2 x sets of speaker binding posts for biwiring.

Serial numbers date these to mid nineties UK manufacture.

Condition: When I bought these there were numerous small scratches on each of the lids, but I have had these professionally repainted at work (we restore classic cars), so they now look like new. Very good condition overall, I have run them extensively with no issues whatsoever and my speakers dip below 1 ohm at certain frequencies.
