At the same time in 1958, Leak launched two stereo amplifier chassis, the Stereo 20 (EL84) and the Stereo 50 (EL34). The same sonic rule applies here - the smaller í20 floors the larger í50 and is far more reliable to boot. In the Sixties, Leak revamped the Stereo 50 and turned it into a Stereo 60, which is even less reliable and uses strange dual wire-wound resistors which are impossible to obtain these days. (The same items can be found on the TL50+ and some TL25s). The later models are finished in a Charcoal grey and date from roughly the same period in the mid-1960s as the Garrard 401. These stereo amplifiers had pretty much the same circuit as the monoblocs but used ECC83s throughout the driver stages where the monoblocs used EF86s and ECC81s.

Highlights:
In comparison to a new, modern amp of about £500 though, the Stereo 20 is amazing.
