The Audiolab 8000A's with the alphabet 'F' in the serial number were the last production batch before Audiolab was sold to Tag McLaren. I was lucky enough to secure a unit from a seller who lived down the road!!! After doing so, I sold my British made Audiolab 8000S (serial number with 'E') and 8000A (serial number with 'D'). The newer 8000A still sounded 'a bit raw' and less polish than the higher end units in my collection. Hence I decided to recap the unit using better quality parts, as well as performing some minor tweaking along the way. My unit with 'F' in s/n Original The following pix was taken after the work was done using OSCON, Wima, Panasonic FC and ECA, as well as silver mica's. Hi there, I just posted on the DIYAUDIO some questions regarding some mods for the AUDIOLAB, yours seem to be the best inspiration for this.
I made a few question directly to you, I'm pasting here, but would really thank you if you consider replying in the forum too. So here goes, why did you use those OSCONs in the pre-amp section and should I get much better sonic performance compared to the Silmic IIs? Why did you placed those four silver micas, and why didn't you replaced the EVOX for WIMAs in the preamp section too, like you did for the power section? Also, what are the values for the two OSCONs (I think) used in the power section? They seem much larger than the original RE2s.
