Harmonizing Heritage and Innovation: The Leak 130 and DIY Ojas

DIY Speakers based on Ojas Bookshelf Speakers

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, in the year 2020, 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.

The LEAK STEREO 130 is a 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 both analogue and digital sources, thanks to its diversity of inputs. It features a built-in Moving Magnet (MM) phono pre-amplifier for direct connection to turntables and enables CD-quality audio streaming from any Bluetooth device via its innovative built-in aptX and AAC codec.

To fully accommodate the modern-day music enthusiast, the LEAK STEREO 130’s digital circuitry is crafted to deliver the quality expected from a high-performance stand-alone D/A converter, encompassing all the conveniences within an integrated amplifier solution. The amplifier is meticulously designed to align with the LEAK ethos of performance, reliability, and craftsmanship, marrying contemporary performance with classic LEAK styling.

The LEAK STEREO 130 employs a dedicated amplifier circuit with current-feedback technology for the headphone output, matching the performance of standalone headphone amplifiers beyond its price-class. It utilizes the acclaimed ES9018 Sabre32 Reference chip, featuring ESS Technology’s 32-bit HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, providing ultra-low noise and high dynamic range for digital audio files up to 384kHz (PCM) and DSD256.

At the forefront are the KEF LS50 speakers, known for their detailed sound reproduction, positioned to optimize the audio experience. The wooden cabinet beneath the large TV serves as a nostalgic nod to the past, housing various high-fidelity components that contribute to the system's rich sound output.

The ambiance of the room is enhanced by natural lighting, which brings warmth and vitality into the space, making it an ideal environment for immersive listening sessions. A small, intricately designed rug lies on the floor, adding a touch of elegance and comfort. This setup not only reflects a dedication to quality sound but also a keen eye for integrating audio equipment into the fabric of everyday living, creating a space where technology and design coexist beautifully.
