[#11426] Leak Club for Leakies or Leak user Gingers, I want to do it long long time ago (as mentioned to u before, right?)		NEC 正式會員 202.xxx.xxx.245	2006-05-04 15:05

from the other angle view, it will help to save $ & time in long run as the next hunt for gears will be at minimum
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Agree with you totally! Not easy to source for other amps..

No second pair of 12.1 in your city?
---------------------------------------------------
there are at least 2 pairs hiding somewhere but i have no chance to meet with the owners yet. when i see the pictures of 2 pairs in this forum, i'm really tempted to acquired another pair:-). my brother came to visit me last wk for the 12.1+3/5a audition. he lost hifi interest long long time go. but he was stunned by the sound he heard. he had shown interest again after the audition and asked me to find a set up for him. he even said he was willling to budget even though i mentioned sea fish price. the 12.1 is simply too poisonous. in fact we do not need to rave much about its standard. the product speaks for itself:-)

I know there is a 25A closed frame in Singapore somewhere..but I couldn't locate the owner; a TL50 ; and a Stereo 20...

Hi! John(Gingers)
The picture is about Model Point One 15 mono valvu Amp that has 15Watt.
The other words are not specipic, that is, these are about One Stereo Pre(£21), Stereo 20 Power Amp(£31), Stereo 50 Power Amp(£42), Point One Plus Control Unit, Point One Stereo 20 Valve Amp, Point One Stereo 50 Valve Amp, Point One Stereo Control Unit. If you want to read translated words into English, copy and post the specipic words. I will translate for you.

To NEC
about """"james6484 hing, it seems Leak is not as popular as Tannoy in Korea, right ? pls correct me if I'm wrong, are you also the only one owner of Leak 12.1 in your city ? cheers"""

Yes,but many Korean users have ever hard that leak amps, especially TL12 and TL25, are good matching Tannoy like REd, Silver and Black.
Anyway I have never met a person who has TL12, 25.
However, a few men has those.

James,

Are you using Tannoy ?
I'm using Silver 12". Had seen on WEB Korean playing 15" black on open baffle, fabulous.

TIA

Many Stereo 20 in Singapore. For TL50, are you referring to my pair :-)? I know there is another TL50, my friend have it but yet to restore. I yet to come across 12.1 in Singapore, I hope to be the first known 12.1 owner in Singapore. hehe :-)

I have Tannoy silver 15" and red 15"(red con).

Hi friends,
I?m spending many time looking for multisection axial high voltage caps but nothing.
When I was to leave the search, I found that Mundorf caps have a entire line of multisection axial 450v for replacing inexistent old axial TCC at TL/25+
Mundorf HV axial in fact is a Mundorf but not expensive.
I think that this brand is not very popular in America and big seller don?t have them .
I found them on Maxwellaudio at Ebay, very nice people, with good prices.

Hi John
I have not made significant advances in restoration of my Leaks.
But I promise a full documentation of them.
By the way I purchase recently a pair of Fisher “The 100“ very nice amps!!! need love but looks impressive.
More work to me!!
I Promise to you a before-after show.

Regards Mario

John don?t discard the Mundorf electrolitics they seem to be a interesting option for Leaks

Best resistors :-)

So Many Resistors, So Few Good-Sounding Ones!
All electronic circuits use resistors, they are an essential and ubiquitous component. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of resistor model available to the designer, of various constructions, materials and power handling capabilities ranging from milliwatts to hundreds of watts. For most tube gear, resistors only need to handle the range of milliwatts to a few watts. At Counterpoint we used Roederstein "Resista" resistors for the critical audio-path low-power applications, and various generic metal-film and metal-oxide resistors for the 1 to 2 watt range. If higher power handling was needed, then assorted wire-wound resistors were used.

Those were the 80's and 90's. Those were the good resistors of the day; and they pretty much suck when compared with the good resistors we have today. Generally speaking, the best resistors are a lot more expensive than the $0.05 MK-3 Resistas that Counterpoint gear was built with. Like a few hundred times more expensive. Frankly, if we had used resistors as expensive as today's best models in Counterpoint gear in the 80's and 90's, no one would have been able to afford the product!

For Alta Vista Audio upgrades, where parts prices do not affect your price nearly as dramatically (see "Why Upgrade" for a comparison of how parts prices affect retail and upgrade pricing), I am always evaluating the good resistors. And it turns out that, regardless of the glowing reports I've heard, there just aren't many good-sounding ones. Just to list a few, I have listened to the best-regarded models from Draloric, Riken, Kiwame, Caddock, Dale, Xicon, Vishay, Mills, Allen-Bradley, and PRP. (Note: if you have some resistor I don't list and want me to use it in your Counterpoint upgrade, tell me what you are thinking. If you, or someone you personally know to have a good ear, recommends a resistor, then ask me to check into it. But I'm not here to satisfy idle curiosity or help you find parts for your own DIY projects: for that, do your own listening and trust your own ears.)

Here are the resistors that I currently feel to be the best of the crop. In all cases, they were evaluated in comparison with a piece of wire:

For power-handling applications, Mills wire-wound MRA resistors are the best I've found so far.

For low-power applications, the "naked" version of the Vishay S102 parts are neutral, grain-free, edge-free, lucid, quiet, and dynamic. They are the closest thing to a piece of good wire that I've found. Unfortunately I can't use them in every location in an upgrade: they are not available in all the higher resistance values as I use, so Caddock TF020's (see below) are used in those few locations. Note that it is possible to have Vishay build their parts in higher resistances by stacking resistance elements together. These parts are priced accordingly, contact me for details.

Another part that I like are the Riken carbon composition resistors. These are the single-ended triodes (SET) of the resistor world: velvety and warm, they have wonderful presence. They are colored, but in a delightful way, and have to be used with restraint or they can make the sound overly-damped and lifeless. One or two per signal path is plenty. I don't use these in the upgrades due to the dramatic effect they have on the sound, but can do so if requested. I'm not a good enough writer to describe how SET power amps sound, but if you know and like how they sound, I can bring that warm presence to your Counterpoint upgrade.
My previous choice for low-power applications, the Caddock TF020 ("Tetrinox"), has had to be moved to second-class status in comparison with those two choices above. The TF020 is very transparent, but it also has a SLIGHTLY tilted-up frequency response, with a SMALL treble emphasis, a SLIGHT reduction of bass, and adds a TINY edge to the sound. I only use these parts where a Naked Vishay cannot be used.

A final note: The Riken resistors are not very expensive, but not many can be used in an upgrade without affecting sound. But the Naked Vishays are, even more expensive than the very expensive Caddock TF020's. This is the price of good sound. Every other resistor that I have listened to to date sucks big time compared with these four.

Pilot SP216 or SP215?

Marantz 2?
Marantz 7?

The most impressed is the Leak 12.i with its matching Leak "RC/PA" pre amplifier. They are working, right?

Can you introduce your speakers? Is the small one a Harbeth?
No LS3/5A?

So are you listening the mono sound with a single 12.1?
