Building on the legacy of the celebrated STEREO 130, the STEREO 230 is a stereo integrated amplifier that delivers 75 watts continuous per channel into 8 ohms or 115 watts continuous per channel into 4 ohms, while an ARC-compatible HDMI socket ensures top-level sound quality during playback of audio-visual content.
The new LEAK can also be connected to an extensive repertoire of audio sources, from turntables equipped with a moving magnet (MM) cartridge to optical disc players, streamers and even Bluetooth devices.
The purist ethos of the STEREO 230 is reflected in many details of its design, such as the use of JFET transistors in the RIAA equalisation stage of the phono section to ensure full compatibility with the standards set by the audio industry for the playback of vinyl records.
The new LEAK is also equipped with a dedicated headphone amplifier with current feedback topology whose performance is perfectly comparable to the best designs on the market.
The exquisite engineering of the STEREO 230 also manifests itself in an uncompromisingly designed DAC section, using one of the renowned ES9018 Sabre32 Reference 32-bit ESS Technology chips from California-based ESS Technology, which allows the LEAK to exhibit particularly sparkling registers in terms of background noise and dynamic range, both essential parameters in the restitution of both traditional digital content and Hi-Res files.
Features:
The Leak CDT offers the highest available standard of CD playback sound reproduction in this price class. Its vintage design makes it the perfect match for the Leak Stereo 130 amplifier.
The CDT is equipped with USB storage device playback functionality and uses an ultra-smooth slot-loading mechanism that exudes quality and reliability.
The CD transport is carefully mounted within its own electromagnetically shielded enclosure and a dedicated power supply is provided.
The digital clock is controlled by a temperature compensated crystal oscillator which ensures that the digital output from the coaxial and optical sockets has minimal digital distortion, so digital signal extraction is exceptionally accurate.
The USB storage device playback function offers full transport controls and folder/file navigation.
The Leak CDT is compatible with FAT16 and FAT32 formatted devices and will play WMA, MP3, WAV and AAC format media.
Features:
The Wharfedale Linton represents the most iconic model in the brand's long history of loudspeakers. We are looking at a speaker system that embodied Wharfedale 's pioneering research throughout the 60's, 70's and 80's of the last century, with a lineage that dates back to 1965 and that has always been manufactured respecting the principles of absolute quality and quality/price ratio that have governed the business history of the British firm. The new Wharfedale Linton, part of the prestigious Heritage Series, magnificently exemplifies this philosophy through a carefully balanced balance of high-level craftsmanship, sonic naturalness and affordability in the context of a beautifully proportioned speaker, whose different incarnations number in the millions spread across the whole globe. The original Linton earned a solid reputation for the warmth, richness and naturalness of its sound, so the new Linton preserves these fundamental elements, complementing them with an open and detailed sound presentation that invites you to rediscover the most extensive of music collections. We are facing a new great classic that exemplifies the best and most timeless tradition of the 'English sound'.
