    Hehehe... Titter ye not, chap-ettes, the Marco-boy is having the last laugh every time he plays his system - the Tannoys will be the final link in the chain.

    Next time you come round, Mikey, strap some serious padding onto your back because this time you (and it) will be blown out the window into the pub next door

    Very nice write up of The Leak Trough-Line.

    I still have a Stereofetic (as well as many other tuners) and it is not too bad at all.

    Thank you spendorman.

    I have never heard or seen a Stereofetic. Maybe you might like to write about it on this thread with photos, it would complete the history of Leak tuners....what do you think ?

    I can take a few photos, it's not much to look at and my camera (and operator!) are not up to much. It was in a wooden cabinet that housed it and a Leak Stereo 70 (still have).
