Leak 3200 AM/FM receiver
I've been looking around for a tuner for a couple of weeks and just missed the Leak 2000 posted by a member in the selling section. However, I have just come across a Leak 3200. I can't find much opinion about them online. Anyone know much about them? Are they any good sonically or just basic budget stuff?

Re: Leak 3200 AM/FM tuner
That's from pretty much the end of the Leak brand, when J-Arthur's little helpers were purely into badge engineering. Given their business linkages, I presume it's a Rotel, really.
If so, well, Rotel were quite competent, not pretentious, and good value. David

I think it is essentially the same as a Rotel RX-402, which I have. A very nice mid-range receiver.

Re: Leak 3200 AM/FM tuner
My apologies, I do mean receiver (tuner + amp combo). So its a Rotel RX-402 inside. It looks different although all of the external controls (button and knob styles notwithstanding) and connectors on the back are the same so that makes sense.
I did a search for Rotal and found a few about the same price. I also found an RX500 with a shortwave band on it. In the meantime, the Yamaha 1020 that I was watching and considering has ended. Well there iis no rush and I will watch and see what else comes up. |
