H.J. Leak Valve Amplifier

It will be great to find out how well is the matching. Let's wait for the Leaks. We might need to get some more of those interesting music too.

Space and other equipments are on stand by!!

Alright. Time to wake up

Breakfast on Sunday morning

Heavy breakfast!! Are they ready for next week's 'menu'?

Hi ky, sorry for my ignorance .. the amp is TL50+ ? Have you been "excercising the KEF piano black" ? The last session I think it is not itself ... Kind regards

They are 12+ with EL84 output tubes. I feel sorry for not meeting your expectation. KEF Piano Black would need months to break in according to expert. However, I couldn't conclude it because they have not occupied the seat more than 2 weeks

Aiyoh rsbn! I 'leaking chup' waiting for 12+ !

Hi, mostly at Fri night. This week's menu not out yet, I guess. Have to check with rsbn, cyh and car_o_scope.

Anyway, cyh did a quick 'sneak peek' yesterday.

The new pre is partly thanks to the constant poisoning from WongKN

Thank you for the compliment. Yes, it indeed very pleasing to my ears. Yet, I am itching to know how the french lady pairs up with 12+ on the dance floor (erm, is it football pitch?)

tlkoo, I thought that you do come to Seremban often. What happened last time? I was expecting for you to come.

Please come.

hopefully i could make 1 visit prior to kliav show, i could help you lug an svs to the show to alleviate your burden provided you are not worried of loss in transit

Dei ? How come my name suddenly dragged into the picture ? The way you guys are talking, it's like you all are organizing some sort of private orgy session. Since all of you are guys, please leave me OUT of it....

Max, BTW, now that you have gone half the way (with the pre), you should consider going ALL the way.....

wah... mr c, i've been missing lotsa fun eh!

Ahhhh Mr K long time no see & hear! Pls join when you can...everybody here listens without prejudice.

Haha Mr W, an orgy of good sound and equipment! Good company and such and to go all the way...we need to include a moderator too!

I have been invited a few times by the (I assume) the host (max and c.o.s.) but unfortunately seremban is a bit too far to travel la. Time is the other constraint as I am only free on saturday afternoons.

Wong Suk, time to reload bullets. I have been on buying spree recently.

I am actually on the lookout for a pair of mono to replace the current stereo power amp.

We are free on weekend's afternoon too. Next time, must drag our pal, bassraptor too. Or maybe I organize a small gathering and a simple lunch so that we can get a bigger audiophile orgy Must get the rest of the guys like sflam, Big E, Mr Dick Tan, etc.

Can you please help me with the SVS PB13-Ultra?

Nowadays, we have LEKAS highway mah.. Very convenient and no jam at all.

Looks like we will restart our "engines" this Friday after a few weeks break. Shall prepare some space for Leaks.

You are most welcome. Thanks for recommending the Fleetwood Mac Rumours 45rpm version to me!! I like it.

I had heard that an astonishing ancient pair is on its way today!

These vintage "radiators" are a sight to behold.

Well,sight and sound for me.
The 'radiator' partner for the night shows a different presentation.

teenage lady is pretty but mature is preferable. could be due to age catching up thanks for car o scope, cyh and wong coming. good chef would always listen to feed back, regardless good or bad. next menu coming soon

Thanks for the hospitality. Teenage lady might probably suit my age but I would like to hold back until I come up close with the matured one. Hahahaha... If there is a chance in the future, I hope to experience the other pair at the bottom. Anyway... here's another shot.

Too bad that I can't join you guys . Something popped up. Hopefully, can join the upcoming 'feast'.

Waiting for the time to come and wanna listen to the vintage "radiator" again and also the above mentioned new vintage toy.

But the BBC Leak likes to mate with LS3/5A

rsbn589 wrote:But the BBC Leak likes to mate with LS3/5A

Naturally! at that point of time and era, would you expect them to buy and mate American or Japanese amps? I reckon its also part of loyalty and national pride issues, and naturally the British will insist on own people's products. Just like Japanese studios, they're certainly not having Lenco's, Garrards, Linn or Thorens on their radio DJ's desks. Then when BBC helped other commonwealth countries setup their broadcast station (like RTM), they specified mostly all the same rigs. Of course its a different ball game now.

There is no definite answer. This little American troop mates well with LS3/5A. It drives ESL57 crazy and wins and touches my friend's heart

And this lovely Japanese baby should also mate well with LS3/5A. I do not mind to own it although I'm a British fan.

A sneak photo of the audiophiles gathering on last Friday.

I also created a thread at 'Non-Equipment Discussion' for Seremban Audiophiles kaki to share

Yeh! Feeling good and ready for JBL party

Hohoho.... menu out already!

Mmm.... Finally Mr JBL got a chance with tubes. I think I know the answer already! Mr Pepper&bread can keep me posted?

cyh wrote:Mmm.... Finally Mr JBL got a chance with tubes. I think I know the answer already! Mr Pepper&bread can keep me posted?

we could possibly sum it up too. Mr Pepper&bread providing double dosage of poison. Perhaps resistance is futile lah.

Glad I manage to make it for last night party! Max, poison set in already but not how you would imagine!
After warm up, sound was good, especially with vocals. Through out the evening we went along that line. Minge Caiqin, Sara K, Starkers in Tokyo, America etc etc, vocal after vocals it went. We played with the various cd players, sacd even and also records. Until our friend, Mr JBL, decided to 'char' the amps! Out came Bad Company & Fleetwood Mac. Bad company by Bad Company sounded Baaadddd!, if you know what I mean! Then he took out the Mac's Rumours 45rpm remastered version.....side 3, The Chain....fu yoh! One word- BLISS! Also 4 words- Bass & drums kickass! We all know that the 4310D can rock, but last night...it was in a different league! And it's all due to the 50+! Sound was so organic, fast and the lows were really low and tight. With absolutely no smearing of the highs & mids. Tubes can't rock? Try Leak TL 50+!
Maybe some of the guys who came yesterday night can also comment too? But for me, glad I came. Now I cant wait to hear what the 50+ can do to the mini autograph & the 60th ani, 3/5a!
Regards

I guess the TL50+ managed to give those JBLs some spanking yesterday. But the owner seemed to be enjoying the spanking of his precious toys and the volume he tuned was beyond usual listening level.

Eh rsbn! If the response (or lack of it) is an indication of TL12.1 users.....then you are the only one here in hf4s who has a pair of it!!! Maybe it's time you switch to the 'bright' side...the SS camp? I heard Naim sound not bad leh!
