It's been a long while since I made any meaningful changes to my set up. However I have an Audiolab 8000A integrated on loan just now and I'm impressed. It seems to have a lot more balls that the Arcam Delta 60 I've been using since the dawn of time and a grip on my Kef Reference 103's that i have been missing I think. Listening to Genesis - Supper's Ready on Seconds Out for example, can sound a bit too subdued, but through the Audiolab it really comes forward and the powerful sections really are up front and with clarity. The TT is still my beloved Thorens TD160 with a Denon DL110 MC through a Firebottle Plus phonostage into the Kef's. I wanted to change the Arcam a long time ago but since renovating our house any funds to buy something decent have disappeared into a black hole. Could this Audiolab be the cheap short term answer I'm looking for?

Cheers
