Functionally, the 9000A builds upon the highly successful 6000A, which launched in 2018 and remains one of Britain's best-selling integrated amps. The 6000A recognised that while an amplifier is still the beating heart of any high-performance audio system, just as it has been for decades, a truly versatile integrated amp now needs to cover many bases – digital and analogue sources, wireless connectivity for portable devices, a phono stage for playing vinyl, and amplification for headphones as well as speakers.
The 9000A is born from the same ideal but ups the ante in every area – cutting-edge digital audio technology, massively upgraded analogue circuitry, more connectivity and performance that elevates the open, detailed and engaging sound for which the 6000A is famed to an entirely different level.
