LEAK 130 Stereo Integrated Amplifier
LEAK Stereo 130 – Classic Design, Modern Versatility
The LEAK Stereo 130 pays tribute to the legendary Stereo 30, one of Britain’s most beloved hi-fi amplifiers of the 1960s. Redesigned from the ground up, the Stereo 130 blends vintage appeal with cutting-edge performance, offering a complete solution for vinyl lovers, streaming fans, and modern audiophiles alike.
All-in-One High-Fidelity Performance
This integrated amplifier delivers impressive sonic detail and dynamic range across both analogue and digital sources. Rated at 2 x 45W (8Ω), or 2 x 65W (4Ω), the Stereo 130 is powerful enough to drive a wide variety of speakers while preserving clarity, timing, and balance.
Vinyl and Bluetooth – True Source Flexibility
The built-in Moving Magnet (MM) phono preamp enables direct connection to your turntable, preserving the warmth of your vinyl records. For wireless convenience, aptX and AAC Bluetooth support let you stream CD-quality audio directly from smartphones or tablets.
Reference-Level Digital Conversion
Using the acclaimed ES9018 Sabre32 Reference DAC chip, the Stereo 130 supports high-resolution playback up to 384kHz PCM and DSD256. This ensures audiophile-grade clarity and ultra-low distortion from any digital source—USB, optical, or coaxial.
Custom-Tuned Headphone Amplifier
Headphone users will appreciate the dedicated current-feedback amplifier circuit. Designed for a high slew rate and fast signal response, it delivers detail-rich performance on par with standalone headphone amps well beyond this price class.
Pure Tone Control and Direct Mode
The Stereo 130 features LEAK’s signature DIRECT switch, which bypasses the tone circuit for a purer signal path. When engaged, the BASS and TREBLE controls offer personalised tonal adjustments to suit different genres, speakers, or room acoustics.
Designed for the Enthusiast
Every detail of the Stereo 130 has been carefully considered—from the solid metal casing to the refined wood enclosure (available in walnut). It’s built to satisfy modern expectations without losing the soul of a classic hi-fi amp.
