Just to heads-up people: Stephen Spicer just let me know about the new and 'better' edition of his book on Leak. May be of interest to people here.

That is a fascinating letter! I am reminded that in 1968 I was wondering which amplifier to buy and wrote to Hifi News for advice on my short list of Quad 33, 303, Armstrong or Leak Stereo 30. I got a typed reply from BJ Webb, one of the magazine’s stalwarts, suggesting I should get the Quad (which I did) and ending with the interesting statement ‘we do not recommend the Leak Stereo 30’! Intriguing!Does this new edition contain any references to Harold Leak's alleged theft of the Tobey-Dinsdale SS amplifier design?

snap,not finished quad book...I’ve just unwrapped a copy of this beauty. Looking forwards to delving into it.
I've now got the Thorens book, the Rega book, the Quad book and the Leak book. Shame the Tannoy book was a disappointmen. Found it a bit dull. Wonder if Hattor will ever warrant a book? Probably not in my lifetime.
