OPEN-BOX / TESTED AND WORKING / MINT CONDITION

You have to start somewhere and this is the beginning of a great Hi-Fi journey

Sound Comes First
Our AXA35 integrated amp offers 35 watts per channel and has a built-in moving magnet phono stage – perfect for vinyl enthusiasts. A white LED dot matrix display confirms listening source, and separate tone controls mean you can adjust the sound to suit your taste. There’s a large ¼” (6.35mm) headphone socket too, ideal for high-quality listening without disturbing those who might not share your great taste in music.

Your Journey into Sound
AXA35 is the ideal amp to begin listening to music and really appreciating it – hearing detail in familiar tunes you’ve previously missed. That’s down to the toroidal transformer it uses, a tech found higher up our range. Choose a pair of speakers to suit your taste, perhaps they’ve been in the family for years or maybe something from our SX Series.

Release the Wheels of Steel
The built-in phono stage is the ace up AXA35’s sleeve. It means that you can plug a turntable straight in without any extra kit. Moving magnet (MM) compatibility means AXA35 works with a wide variety of turntables – including that vintage one you’ve had your eye on. Soon you’ll be playing the records you’ve been saving for, and planning what to buy next.

Setting the Tone
With separate bass and treble controls, you can fine-tune AXA35’s sound to suit your taste, speakers and room dynamics. The volume level is shown on the LED dot matrix display, and with 35 watts per channel you’ll have plenty of kick for smaller to medium sized rooms.

Wired for Sound
AXA35 is a well-connected amp, with no less than 4 pairs of RCA inputs, plus a pair of phono sockets for a turntable and a pair of recording outputs. There’s a rear USB socket for technical upgrades. Hi-fi quality speaker binding posts (connectors), compatible for banana plugs, mean that thick cable connects securely for an authentic sound.

Designed for Life
As with the rest of AX Series, AXA35 shares our house-style of Lunar Grey minimalist fascia, black steel cabinet and ‘floating’ base. This timeless look enables an upgrade path through our range. A slim build, in the classic 430mm hi-fi width, also means that AXA35 can easily slot, and breathe new life, into a much-loved system.

Features:

  • 35 Watts Power per Channel for detailed performance at all volumes, ideal for smaller/medium sized rooms
  • Built-In Phono Stage – to plug & play a turntable
  • Slim Timeless Design – classic hi-fi size, with Lunar Grey aluminum trim
  • Tone Controls – fine-tune sound to compensate for room dynamics
  • Digital Display – white LED, clearly shows; source, volume & menus
  • Headphone Socket – full size socket for high-quality after-hours listening 
  • Front Aux Input – 3.5mm socket to easily connect compatible devices

The HiFi Rose RA280 integrated amplifier with built-in phono pre-amp

The RA280 is an integrated amplifier that innovative technologies used in RA180. Enjoy pure natural sound as close to the original sound as you can get with the RA280; a near-perfect sound that transcends the boundaries between digital and analog technologies with excellent linearity achieved through strong power damping and short dead time. The RA280 offers a special listening experience that lets you feel the true essence of music. 

Key Features

High-performance hybrid class AD amplification

HiFi Rose’s RA280 integrated amp has features and looks that straddle the line between modern and classic. It resembles its bigger, more expensive sibling  the flagship RA180. The RA280 uses the same hybrid amplification technology, an innovative design that HiFi Rose calls “Class AD.” Like most Class D amps, it uses a “switching” design. But its GaN (gallium nitride) FET topology sweetens the sound by speeding up the timing between switches  up to 10 times faster than typical silicon FET switching devices.

High-quality design and build

You can see this amp’s top-notch design and build-quality inside and out. Its solid aluminum and steel chassis with integrated heat sinks contribute to its hefty 20+-pound weight. And it uses dual-mono 250-watt amplifiers with isolated circuitry and premium components for unassailable sound and near-imperceptible noise and distortion.

Flexible connections

The RA280 has three line-level stereo RCA inputs, plus one RCA phono input for a turntable with a moving magnet cartridges. It also has a balanced stereo XLR input for making a low-noise connection to a high-end source component. All connections are analog, but you can get amazing sound from digital sources that have a built-in DAC — like the HiFi Rose RS250A network streamer.

The power supply inside the RA280 is specifically designed to stay efficient and high speed even under complex loads. HiFi Rose used silicon carbide FETs instead of the standard Silicon FETs in other power supplies. These high-tech devices have high voltage and heat resistance, allowing the power supply to supply maximum power while remaining efficient and cool. This well-designed power supply also applies a 2.5kW power factor correction circuit with a high-capacity condenser to maintain top performance at all loads while keeping stable and reliable.

The RA280 uses a next-gen advanced Class D design developed in-house to take the acoustic performance of traditional Class D amps to a higher level. HiFi Rose calls this tech Class AD. Class D amps are considered much more efficient than traditional Class AB amps, but most have a pretty harsh and edgy sound. HiFi Rose’s Advanced Class AD design resolves these problems with new, innovative materials. The switching output devices are the enemy of sound quality in these high-efficiency designs. Dead time and a slower switching speed can cause noise and distortions to the audio and were responsible for the noise and gritty-sounding nature of early class D designs. Using GaN over traditional silicon transistors allows the switching speed to be much faster, allowing a dead time of 1/10 of silicon transistors. This gives these new class D amplifiers a linear response, allowing them to have a natural, smooth sound quality that aligns more with class A amplifier designs.

    The audiolab 9000A integrated amplifier is one of our very favorite amps
    As ever, the 9000A is the center of the audiolab focus in being the beating heart of any high-performance audio system. It’s more powerful, capable and feature-packed than any of the preceding models – the most advanced audiolab integrated amplifier yet. Versatility is key to audiolab’s integrated amplifier appeal, and the 9000A offers to cater for audiophiles of all creeds. Loaded with digital and analogue source connection, wireless connectivity for portable devices, an all-new phono stage to cater for vinyl playback and the usual, class-leading amplification for loudspeakers and headphones.
    Digital face
    Matching the modern hi-fi enthusiast’s requirements, the 9000A features a full-colour IPS LCD screen, offering clear and informative playback, source and file information. Not to mention a host of menu options for optimum performance and user-defined settings. Various display options are provided, which also include two VU meter options, allowing the 9000A to be visually informative or, in the case of ‘display off’ settings, a discreet centerpiece of any audio system.

    Flexible and capable
    Differentiating itself from rivals within its category, the audiolab 9000A blends digital capability with an analogue pedigree. Premium level D/A conversion, as one would always expect from audiolab, allows a range of digital sources (over four digital inputs) to be connected directly to this high-power integrated unit. Yet, based on over 40 years of amplifier design pedigree, not to mention a recent history of multi-award-winning audio solutions, the 9000A also caters for analogue device integrations (via three AUX, balanced XLR and a dedicated phono input).

    The world of modern audio enjoyment is not limited to wired playback devices though, hence the 9000A also supports wireless connectivity via Bluetooth and digital audio via a PC USB connection.

    The 9000A is the brainchild of lead designer, Jan Ertner. Famed for a plethora of class-leading and award-winning audio electronic models, Jan has pushed the 9000A to the highest levels of performance by evolving and redeveloping the principles that created the 8300A and uber-successful 6000A, to deliver the most exceptional performance ever seen in an audiolab integrated amplifier.

    Flagship DAC
    The 9000A features the latest ESS 9038PRO flagship 32-bit DAC chip. Using the critically acclaimed patented HyperStream® II architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, the ES9038PRO delivers an unprecedented performance level that will satisfy the needs of the most demanding audio applications – fitting an amplifier of the 9000A’s caliber.

    Years of experience and countless ESS-equipped models mean that audiolab is more than familiar with making the most of this technically excellent but challenging DAC technology. Great attention has been paid in developing a system that allows audiolab electronics and ESS DAC technology to offer the best in audiophile performance.

    The amp’s four S/PDIF digital inputs – two coaxial and two optical – handle hi-res PCM data up to 24-bit/192kHz and benefit from a host of user-selectable digital filters that allow the user to optimize the response to suit the source file and bandwidth of the partnering equipment.

    PCM audio is supported to 32-bit/768kHz, alongside DSD to 22.5MHz (DSD512). Every significant hi-res and lossless audio format is catered for, including FLAC, ALAC, AIFF and WAV, as well as compressed legacy formats.

    MQA all the way

    The 9000A also delivers full decoding of MQA, the hi-res streaming technology from a custom engineered MQA certified DAC solution. This means that the complete ‘three unfold’ decoding process is performed internally, as opposed to just the final unfold in the manner of an MQA ‘renderer’, which makes the 9000A an excellent system choice for subscribers to Tidal’s ‘HiFi Plus’ tier where Tidal Masters (MQA) content can be found.

    As expected for modern audio playback convenience, Bluetooth connectivity is featured as standard with the 9000A stepping up to the aptX HD protocol for sonically superior and easy wireless streaming from smartphones, tablets, laptops and more. Bluetooth-paired devices also benefit from the quality of the amp’s DAC section and filter options.

    The 9000A’s discrete Class AB power amp stage delivers 100W per channel into 8 ohms (160w per channel into 4 ohms!). Unlike over-specified competitor models, the genuine 100W per channel will put the 9000A up against the best in its class. Referring to the standards set with the audiolab 6000A (rated at 50W per channel), the 9000A’s 100W per channel will undoubtedly satisfy the most demanding of loudspeakers and their power-hungry masters.

    A key to the audiolab performance is the world-famous CFB (Complementary Feedback) topology, which ensures superior linearity and excellent thermal stability, as the idle current is kept independent of the temperature of the output transistors. An all-new and custom specified 320VA toroidal transformer, followed by 4 x 15,000uF reservoir capacity (60,000uF in total), helps the amp to maintain firm control of the music whilst enabling excellent dynamic range.

    In an effort to maintain consistent signal purity, with line input signals passing to a precision analogue volume stage, the preamp section is kept as simple as possible. As with all of Jan Ertner’s designs, the circuity is a work of art in more than layout and architecture. The very design protects the sensitive preamp section from noise interference and colouration – a key cornerstone of the audiolab philosophy.

    High-performance Phono stage

    With every iteration of integrated amplifier design, audiolab works to improve on the bench-mark, built-in phono stage section. The 9000A is no different; pushing the boundaries of performance of an onboard phono pre-amp section. The all-new phono pre-amp for 9000A offers compatibility for moving magnet – a JFET-based circuit with precise RIAA equalisation offers the best of both worlds for the turntable using audiolab fans.

    Similarly, for the headphone output stage employing current-feedback circuitry with wide bandwidth and high slew rate; the 9000A ensures a dynamic, detailed and engaging performance with all manner of headphone types, with that extra added audiolab sparkle from the consistent signal integrity from all inputs.

    The audiolab 9000A continues with the theme of flexibility in audio system integration. As is a staple to the audiolab integrated amplifier design, the 9000A offers three variations of operating mode, making it a versatile and essential component in any system.

    Power to the people

    The primary mode is ‘Integrated’ – this combines the pre and power amp stages, for the connection of digital and analogue sources to the amp’s inputs and a pair of speakers to its binding posts.

    ‘Pre-Power Mode’ disconnects the pre and power amp stages. The allows the 9000A to be used solely as a power amp – for example, connected to an AV processor in a home cinema system. It also enables additional signal processing to be added, by connecting the 9000A’s ‘preamp out’ socket to an external processor, then returning the processor’s output to the amp’s ‘power amp in’ socket, making the most of its gargantuan 100W per channel performance and critical performance characteristic of the 9000A’s pre-section, regardless of what magic the users wants to implement in between!

    Finally, ‘Pre Mode’ disables the power amp stage, turning the 9000A into a still glorious standalone preamp. This enables external power amplification to be added, thus providing a possible upgrade path.

    Never before has audiolab visited this price and performance category; new standards are set.

    A powerful, sophisticated amp
    This is the kind of amp I’d like to build a good two-channel system around. The Arcam SA30 has 120 watts per channel, which is enough power to deliver detailed sound at any volume level. The beefy toroidal power transformer inside offers high-current output with very low noise, which is crucial for serious music listening.

    And it’s versatile. Processor Mode lets you connect a separate surround sound receiver or pre/pro and use the SA30 as a straight power amp for your front left and right home theater channels. Analog Direct mode lets you bypass all digital circuitry for the classic, warm analog hi-fi experience.

    Multiple streaming options
    The SA30 has built-in Wi-Fi for connecting to your wireless home network, which opens up fun possibilities for streaming music via online music services and internet radio stations. Apple AirPlay® 2 lets you stream easily from a Mac®, iPod®, or iPad®. And there’s Chromecast built-in for wireless music streaming from compatible devices.

    It’s also a Roon endpoint, which gives you access to the subscription service’s informative and appealing interface and high sound quality. The amplifier’s uPnP (Universal Plug and Play) capability lets you access high-res files from a networked hard drive.

    Dial in great sound with Dirac Live®
    Arcam has built impressive Dirac Live room correction into home theater receivers for a while now. The SA30 is the first time I’ve seen it included in a two-channel amp. It “listens” to your room using a supplied calibration microphone and creates an EQ curve to fine-tune the output from your speakers and subwoofers based on the unique characteristics of your space. The resulting sound is more realistic and transparent, with tighter bass and reduced room effects.

    Versatile Class G amplifier
    The engineers who designed the SA30 wanted it to provide the right amount of power at the right time, so your music always sounds exactly as it should. That’s why they chose a Class G amplifier, which uses Class A circuitry for low-level signals, then kicks in a higher-voltage power supply for more demanding dynamic peaks. And it does it without adding any crossover distortion or noise.

    Convenient connections
    The SA30 gives you plenty of options for connecting music sources. There are two Toslink optical digital inputs and two coaxial digital inputs on the back, along with three stereo analog RCA aux inputs. For vinyl enthusiasts, there are two phono inputs — one for turntables with moving magnet phono cartridges and one for moving coil.

    Product highlights:

    • 120 watts x 2 channels into 8 ohms (20-20,000 Hz) at 0.5% THD efficient high-voltage Class G amplifier
    • THD: 0.002% (80% power, 8 ohms at 1kHz)
    • built-in high-performance ESS 9038K2M Sabre DAC
