General Q on Audiolab pricing for those in the know then... I have a mix of "old" and "new" (or original and Chinese) stuff aquired over the last couple of years.
What are the Chinese made 8000M's worth - even with a slight/quiet transformer hum that would cost £80 each to repair apparently ?
The 8000P (UK made) will be redundent once I pick up the Rotel RB-985 I bought for AV duties this weekend.
And once Stan builds a phono stage/pream into my Caiman, the 8000C will also be surplus.
Sorry to digress
What's wrong with a Q then?

Nothing wrong with the Q I am sure - not that I have given serious consideration to swapping for one. The C will go simply because I only expect to have two sources - the Caiman as a front to all the digital inputs and the Project Debut turntable.
Also, and this may seem "sad" but I also have a Numark USB mixer thing that I bought cheap with an intent to use for ripping vinyl, but I may well use it as a non-audiophile preamp for parties / BBQs etc when I (or others) want to play.

:-) Thanks. Not sure yet what I want to do with all this hardware. Once the Rotel is in place fronting the Denon I will make a decision as to how it all gels together before saying the P is surplus to requirements.

Peter, you're looking through the telescope from the wrong end!
Hi-fi gear is never surplus to requirements - it's just the begining (or part of the evolution) of another system - simple really!

Feel free to buy me the bigger house to put "the next" system in ;-)

I see the final selling price was £1,340.00
The buyer will still make a profit by box-splitting.
