Eduard Brassin 1/48 Brimstone with AGML III Rack # 648339

Trusty Eduard Detailed Model Parts

I have not actually built up this kit yet but the resin parts look nicely detailed as one would expect from Eduard. Looking forward to fitting these, along with some Eduard Paveways, ASRAAMs and a litening pod to my Tornado GR4

Audiolab 8000A MK III Integrated Amplifier, Made in England

A Classic, British, HiFi Amplifier

The Audiolab 8000A integrated amplifier is a "Classic British" HiFi amp. Given 5* ratings from the HiFi press at the time of release and in 2018 What HiFi? Lauded it as "one of the best stereo amplifiers of What Hi-Fi?'s lifetime" saying "The sound was smooth with plenty of presence and detail. Add its fine build and features the 8000A was great value." I bought this amp to replace another "Classic British" Amp (the Music Fidelity A1) while I set about repairing the A1. The 8000A, however may be even better than the A1. It certainly has a better array of Inputs 1xPhono plus 5xLine (3 of which are record loops allowing me to record to my PC/Cassette Deck or MD Recorder without having to disconnect anything - fantastic flexibility) Add to that a Pre amp out, a Power Amp in and 2 sets of switchable speakers for ultimate convenience. But it is the sound that impresses most. Fantastic control throughout the entire frequency range. The bass is weighty, tight and controlled, the mid-range is transparent and clear and the trebles are clear and precise without ever being harsh. It give a truly energetic presentation of the music with a nicely extended dynamic range and frequency range. The soundstage is nice open with individual instruments nicely separated in 3 dimensions giving a great sense of depth and space. If you close your eyes the speakers disappear and you become enveloped in the music. And! Boy does it go loud. Even at quite extreme volumes there is no hint of strain, just more of the same control, precision and weight (only much, much louder!) The inclusion of a phono stage is important to me and having the choice of MM or MC cartridges is a bonus! It's a good sounding input too! Switching between the Phono and CD inputs showed a slightly more relaxed scene for the Phono compared to the same album on CD - though this is more likely down to sonic characteristics of the record versus the CD than the Amp itself! Considering that this amp is now into it's 30's (in terms of age) it really is a fantastic bit of kit, and great value for money, certainly at the e-bay prices! It's a testament to this amplifiers design that Audiolab themselves still make a modern day equivalent - the 3rd generation 8300A - which to be honest is probably going to sound even better! It does, however, cost more than four times the price paid on e-bay for to original! All in all this is a highly musical amplifier with a great range of inputs and outputs that has enhanced my listening pleasure and added flexibility to my HiFi.

All the Kindle that you need

I had a 5th gen kindle and was fine with it. However the buying bug bit me and I fancied an upgrade to a Kindle with a back light. This is the the perfect option for me. The back light adapts to the environment and I virtually never need to adjust it. I was concerned about the touchscreen but needlessly as it turns out. The touchscreen is very intuitive to use and the menu system is a breeze to use. Additionally this Kindle has touch sensitive zones either side of the screen for page tuning, a brilliant idea with feedback similar to your mobile phone! The screen itself is a high resolution screen and it makes reading an viewing images or maps so much easier. All this at the price of the current entry level kindle. Kindle Voyage is a great way to upgrade your kindle to the premium level at a bargain price.
