| Reliable and robust, the ‘Q’ has been a stalwart
of the 8000 series. Good pre-amplifiers are few and far between
in the audiophile world. To be considered such an audiophile
pre-amplifier, the 8000Q must provide all of the functionality
and control required without imparting any character of its
own to the delicate audio signals.
It’s this neutrality that is so hard to achieve, and it is
this neutrality that is the secret of the 8000Qs enduring
appeal.
The 8000Q is a simple, but high quality, remote control pre-
amplifier with a wide range of inputs and outputs.
All signals are switched with audiophile signal relays and
the volume control is a motorised potentiometer
The low impedance line amplifier is a miniature class A power
amplifier with current mirror bias - ideal for use with long
interconnects to multiple power amplifiers.
