Audiolab is one of the most decorated British audio brands of the decade. The Audiolab 9000N network streamer won the What Hi-Fi? Award 2024 for Best Music Streamer over £2,000, dethroning the long-reigning Naim ND5 XS2 with what reviewers described as impressive tonal neutrality, class-leading detail, precision, and a transparent, neutral presentation that still relays drama, excitement, and emotion. What Hi-Fi? noted the 9000N as a musical chameleon, impressively transparent and shifting character depending on the recording, with no streamer at its level as capable in this respect. The Audiolab 9000A integrated amplifier won the Goldenes Ohr Award 2024 from German audiophile publication, recognised for its 100W dual-mono amplification, ESS ES9038PRO DAC, and comprehensive connectivity spanning Bluetooth, phono, and digital inputs. The 9000A builds directly on the legendary Audiolab 6000A integrated amplifier, which accumulated multiple What Hi-Fi? Awards across its production run and established Audiolab as the benchmark for affordable British integrated amplifier performance. The Audiolab 9000 Series represents the pinnacle of Audiolab engineering, with the 9000A, 9000CDT, and 9000N forming a complete and perfectly matched system that competes directly with Naim, Cambridge Audio EXN100, and Arcam SA30 at significantly lower price points. The 7000 Series offers the same Audiolab engineering philosophy at a more accessible level, with the 7000A integrated amplifier, 7000CDT CD transport, and 7000N Play network streamer delivering exceptional performance as a complete system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Audiolab components a good choice?
Audiolab is a British brand from Cambridge, England, in business since 1983 and known for accurate, neutral sound and strong value. It is also one of the most awarded British brands of the decade: the 9000N streamer won the What Hi-Fi? Award 2024 for Best Music Streamer over its class, and the 9000A integrated won Germany's Goldenes Ohr Award 2024. At Vinyl Sound USA in Buffalo, New York the range covers integrated amps, CD transports, streamers, DACs, and separates. We are glad to help you pick the right pieces.
Which Audiolab products does Vinyl Sound USA carry?
The Audiolab lineup at Vinyl Sound USA includes integrated amplifiers (6000A MKII, 7000A, 9000A), the 9000Q preamplifier and 9000P power amplifier, network streamers (7000N Play, 9000N), CD transports (6000CDT, 7000CDT, 9000CDT), the D7 and D9 DACs, and the DC Block and DC Block 6 mains conditioners. That lets you build a complete system or add a single source. Tell us your system and goals and we will suggest the right fit.
What is the difference between the Audiolab 6000, 7000, and 9000 series?
They are three tiers of the same engineering philosophy. The 6000 series, like the 6000A MKII, is the accessible entry point, the 7000 series steps up with more power and updated features, and the 9000 series is the reference, with the most power, the best DAC, and the fullest connectivity. Each looks and matches across the range. Vinyl Sound USA can help you pick the tier that fits your speakers and budget.
Which Audiolab integrated amplifier should I choose?
An integrated amplifier combines preamp and power amp in one unit, and Audiolab adds a built-in DAC and connectivity, so it is a complete hub for most systems. At Vinyl Sound USA the 6000A MKII suits smaller systems and budgets, the 7000A adds more power and a new DAC and display, and the 9000A is the flagship with 100W dual-mono power, an ESS ES9038PRO DAC, Bluetooth, phono, and digital inputs. Share your speakers and sources and we will match the right one.
What is a DAC, and do I need one?
A DAC, or digital-to-analog converter, turns digital audio from a streamer, computer, or CD transport into an analog signal your amplifier can use, and a better DAC can improve clarity and detail. You may already have one built into an Audiolab integrated or streamer, but a dedicated DAC like the Audiolab D7 or D9 at Vinyl Sound USA can upgrade your digital sound or add inputs. Whether you need a separate one depends on your system. Tell us your gear and we will advise.
What is a CD transport, and how is it different from a CD player?
A CD transport reads the disc and sends a pure digital signal to a separate DAC, while a CD player has a DAC built in and outputs analog directly. Using a transport lets you pair it with a DAC of your choice for better sound. Audiolab's transports at Vinyl Sound USA, the 6000CDT, 7000CDT, and 9000CDT, are robust disc readers designed to feed a DAC or a DAC-equipped amplifier. Let us know your setup and we will confirm what you need.
What is a network streamer, and what does Audiolab offer?
A network streamer plays music from services and your home network over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, bringing high-resolution streaming to your hi-fi. At Vinyl Sound USA the Audiolab 7000N Play brings DTS Play-Fi and AirPlay 2 streaming at an accessible level, while the award-winning 9000N is the reference streamer for transparent, detailed playback. Both connect to an amplifier or DAC to complete a modern system. Tell us how you stream and we will match the right one.
Which Audiolab streamer should I choose, the 7000N Play or the 9000N?
Both bring high-resolution network streaming, but they sit at different levels. The 7000N Play is the accessible choice with multi-platform Play-Fi and AirPlay 2 support, while the 9000N is the What Hi-Fi? Award-winning reference, praised for transparency and class-leading detail. Your choice depends on your system's resolution and budget. Vinyl Sound USA can help you decide which streamer matches your setup.
Can I build a full Audiolab separates system?
Yes. For a reference two-channel system, Vinyl Sound USA can pair the Audiolab 9000Q preamplifier with the 9000P power amplifier, and add the 9000CDT transport and 9000N streamer for a complete, perfectly matched 9000 Series system. Separates give you flexibility and room to upgrade over time. If you prefer simplicity, an integrated like the 9000A covers most of it in one box. We can help you choose between separates and an integrated.
What is a DC blocker, and do I need one?
A DC blocker removes small amounts of DC voltage on your mains that can make amplifier transformers hum mechanically and slightly limit performance, giving you cleaner power and a quieter component. If you hear a buzz from your amplifier's transformer, it can make a real difference. Audiolab offers the DC Block and the larger DC Block 6 at Vinyl Sound USA. Tell us your components and we will advise whether one would help.
What is the difference between a preamplifier and a power amplifier?
A preamplifier handles input selection and volume, and a power amplifier does the amplification that drives your speakers. Audiolab's 9000Q is a digital and analog preamplifier and the 9000P is its matching power amplifier, which together form a flexible separates pairing at Vinyl Sound USA. Separates let you tune and upgrade each stage, while an integrated combines both for simplicity. We can help you decide which approach fits your goals.
Are Audiolab products from Vinyl Sound USA authorized, and do you ship nationwide?
Yes. Vinyl Sound USA Inc. in Buffalo, New York is an authorized Audiolab dealer, so every component is genuine with full support. We serve Western New York and customers across the United States. Reach out by phone or email, or visit our Buffalo showroom to audition the range, and we will help you choose the right Audiolab setup and place your order.
