uzzy 2,561 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 It could just be that he meant to put in £80 but accidentally put in 800 ... Mind you I wouldn't buy one for £80 either 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete the Feet 1,148 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Didn't What Hi-Fi rate them as one of the iconic amps or some other nonsense. A bit like the Nait 2 when everyone went nuts over them after a report in the Guardian. I couldn't get rid of my Nait 2 for a decent price and wish I had have hung onto it after hearing all the drivel spoke about them on here and other forums. They more than doubled their original retail price. The seller is probably hoping for a similar reaction with his Audiolab. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're not bad. Not very romantic or exciting but it's a hifi amp non the less. Always admired the minimalist styling, name and perhaps sound to some extent. They really are a bit picky with speaker matching though. For me to buy another it would have to be 30-40 quid. Then again I still wouldn't want to listen to one again. I prefer what 40 pound new class d amps are capable of and for a fraction of the size these days. Edited April 11 by eddie-baby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tackleberry 175 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 It's not just this listing, there are loads of silly priced stuff. Suspicious in some cases. Bring back free ads! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chris_bates1974 99 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Honestly? In a world where someone can ask for £50 - or more - for a fuse, is this really that bad? Ultimately, if anyone's is daft enough, then that's their look-out. You'd hope that people would do some research first, but "there's always one". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steveh 21 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Amusing how some have a certain perspective on hi-fi kit. This made me laugh too at the sellers' naivety https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233974197862?hash=item3679f2ee66:g:F3IAAOSwGL9eSSQS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HectorHughMunro 1,278 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 The 8000a was great in its day but that day has passed. £150-175 is fair value now for what it can do though the market is what it is. On the positive side, the manufacturer will probably still maintain it. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
