Looking at possibly changing my amplifier in the next couple months or so. Been reading about the Audiolab 6000A integrated. Will soon be making arrangements to audition the 6000A in a few weeks.

I'm Tony.
I for one will be interested in your thoughts - been looking at this amp, alongside the Nad d3045 and Quad Vena..let us know how you get on.
Going to be picking them up in the next 10 days or so. Should be interesting!

look forward to how you get on with the audiolab and oberon
ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

Not going to be buying the Oberon. Because money was spent a few days ago, to help purchase a wheelchair for my grandfather.

Well done mate, the right thing to do.

Nothing in my system has changed for 6 months....wow! Still using budget tier Denon ''PMA-710'' series amp/cd combo, driving little Dali Spektor 1.
The system sounds pretty decent. This might possibly be one of the most satisfying systems I've put together.
How long will it last?, time will tell, lol.
