Pluck that leak! – With Leak's new Stereo 130 integrated and CDT transport, you can. Under the aegis of the IAG Group to join Quad, Wharfedale and Luxman, the British cult brand is back. Reviving the 1963 Stereo 30 amp, the new class AB integrated does a modest 65wpc/4Ω. It also does headfi, 384kHz PCM and DSD 256 by ESS Sabre DAC so USB, 2 x Toslink, coax and Bluetooth plus MM phono. The matching CDT is a pure transport but its USB input will play back FAT32-formatted carriers. Finish options are silver skins or optional wooden sleeves. Pricing is well below £1K per component.
