More Information:
When LEAK launched the iconic STEREO 30 in 1963, it swiftly became Britain’s favourite ‘step-up’ from the standard budget amplifiers of the time. Now, LEAK harnesses the latest technology to deliver an affordable integrated amplifier of the same philosophy, the STEREO 130 – fully equipped to meet the demands of modern music lovers, from vinyl records to digital streaming.
To accommodate the modern-day music enthusiast fully, much effort has been made to ensure the LEAK STEREO 130 ’s digital circuitry delivers the level of quality one might expect of a high-performance standalone D/A converter, let alone an integrated amplifier solution. Carefully designed in line with the LEAK ethos of performance, reliability and craftsmanship, the LEAK STEREO 130 matches contemporary performance with stand-out, classic LEAK styling.
Turntable Ready:
Traditional audiophiles will recognise the assured quality in the high-quality, low-noise input of the LEAK Stereo 130. Optimised for moving magnet cartridges, the JFET-based circuit offers precise RIAA equalisation in accordance with the de facto industry standards for vinyl record playback.
Headphones Users:
The LEAK STEREO 130 uses a dedicated amplifier circuit with current-feedback technology for the headphones output. Equal in performance to standalone headphone amplifiers, beyond the price-class of this complete system, the design offers high-speed output signal transition thanks to a high slew rate. The result is a dynamic, detailed and engaging performance with all manner of headphone types.
Direct & Tone Control:
The LEAK Stereo 130incorperates LEAK’s signature DIRECT switch to bypass steps in the analogue circuitry, for the purest signal path. In addition, the signature BASS and TREBLE tone controls allow for customisation of the amplifier output signal to suit your music medium and matched electronics or loudspeakers.
Music Enthusiast at it’s Heart:
The LEAK Stereo 130’s all round performance is engaging, details and refines. Detail, timing and dynamics excel, regardless of the source or medium. Designed for the modern-day music enthusiast with a node to LEAK’s heritage, the LEAK Stereo 130 does not discriminate when it comes to expression and enjoyment of your music reproduction.
Conversion Without Compromise:
Utilising the acclaimed ES9018 Sabre32 Reference chip with ESS Technology’s 32-bit HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, the LEAK STEREO 130 offers ultra-low noise, high dynamic range of digital audio files with a sampling rate of up to 384kHz (PCM) and DSD256.
