Default Re: Leak HiFi returns(!)

I was literally shocked to see that LEAK was churning out HiFi Again...fell for it again didn't I... I dare say I have no doubt it would be good gear that they are producing . However, I too have fell in the trap a few times with other "brands" and have been bitterly disappointed . For instance , Eveready Incandescent bulbs, Popped as soon as it went in and the other 3 lasted only weeks if I was lucky.. Same with a Lucas Coil for my Morris Minor, HT was 5000V Higher than it should have been and kept burning out carbon brushes in Dizzy cap. Bussmann fuses too and MK gear now made abroard. Brand badge engineering is for the most part and with the odd exception a magic show to disguise inferior quality goods. Seems unless you are buying New Old Stock the days of relying on , or putting total faith in a well trusted brand are long gone .
