Set-up and installation
Contents
We connect the Audiolab 9000N unbalanced to our integrated Moon amplifier. The connection is made with a Driade Flow 808 rca cable. After a few hours of listening, we stick with the Minimum Phase filter because it sounds the most natural in our set. Or least digital, if you will. We play wired but wireless via Wifi is also possible. We used the preamplifier briefly but we think that doing so you don’t get the most out of the 9000N. A separate preamp or high-quality integrated amplifier is the best way to go here, because that way you really get to know what this unit is capable of. And that’s quite a lot.

Ik heb deze speler kort na de introductie gekocht en ben er heel gelukkig mee. Wat me wel van het hart moet, is dat Audiolab geen erg stevige RCA-aansluitingen monteert. In vergelijking tot andere spelers is hier nog wel wat te winnen. T.a.v. de prijs, ik heb deze speler in december 2023 al voor minder dan 2000 euro als retourdeal kunnen kopen…er zijn dus mogelijkheden
