What is stereo?




There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

LEAK Stereo 130 amplifier

The LEAK Stereo 130 is high performance, high-fidelity integrated amplifier for the modern-day audio enthusiast. It is designed to be the perfect match to a wide variety of sources and provides the necessary amplification to realise the highest quality oof your stored music through your loudspeakers and headphones or expanded high fidelity system, via the pre-amp functionality.
The LEAK Stereo 130 can be connected of both analogue and digital sources, thanks to its diversity of inputs. A built-in Moving Magnet (MM) phono pre-amplifier allows for direct connection to turntable record players.
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
You can also stream music to the LEAK Stereo 130 from any Bluetooth device such as portable music players and smartphones via innovative built-in aptX and AAC codec. One can enjoy CD quality audio over the Bluetooth wireless connection.
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 turntable input of the LEAK Stereo 130. optimised for Moving Magnet (MM) cartridges, the JFET-based circuit offers precise RIAA equalisation in accordance with de facto industry standards for vinyl record playback

Headphone 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.

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 284kHz (PCM) and DSD256.

Direct and Tone Control
The LEAK Stereo 130 incorporates 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 mateched electronics or loudspeakers.
