Leema Acoustics Pulse III amplifier

[ianlenco]

For sale a Leema Pulse III integrated amplifier. I bought this a couple of weeks a go with the intention of setting up a second system as we are moving out kitchen into another room and would have a room spare. However, on reflection I began to doubt how often I would use the second system so I’m putting this up for sale. Everything works as it should.

Technical Specifications
• 5x RCA inputs
• 1x 3.5mm Stero Jack input (front)
• Phono MM/MC
• 2 Digital Optical inputs
• 1 Digital Coax (RCA) input
• 1 USB input
• Tape output
• Pre output
• Headphone output (front)
• Power: 80w (8 Ohms) 130w (4 Ohms)
• Weight: 11kg
• Dimensions: (HxWxD) 90x435x375mm

As you can see from above it is very much an all in one machine with a very decent DAC and mm/mc phono stage. Cosmetically it is excellent apart from a slight depression to one side near the back which can be felt but not seen.

Thanks Phil. For info the original price of this amp was £1495. Leema Acoustics are based in Wales and were formed by two ex-BBC engineers. Made in the UK.

Absolutely cracking amp guys, with a great phono stage, and it's for no money :)

Thanks David. I once owned the original Leema Pulse which I enjoyed greatly but then went into a box expansion phase :doh: with separate DAC, phono stage, pre/power amps. So when I saw this one come up at a good price I jumped on it for the second system before I'd really thought things through.

I suppose it's the summer slow season for sales so I'm open to offers for this fine amplifier.

[ianlenco]

Got a Sky box or similar? Connect with an optical cable to the Leema and you get excellent TV sound too. :)

Final offer, £500 collected or £515 posted to UK mainland.

Still available. A google found a couple of other Pulse III's for sale at nearly £700!

That's a lot of amplifier for £500.00. It's a top name and a good looking beast too. glws.

I have the my iv, bit more of everything including aptx Bluetooth although it doesn’t switch manually between mm/mc on the phono stage. Good soundstage, detail and timing. Both are quite high current amps will drive a lot of speakers and deliver 150 watts into 4ohms. Employ a sub if you wish, also has a great dac. Save money and space with this.

[ianlenco]

Thanks for your comments Alan and Keith. As you say Alan, it's a lot of amplifier for the money. Keith, I presume you are referring to your Pulse IV?

[ianlenco]

No takers so it looks like this will have to go to the auction site this weekend.
