I have to agree with the 'aspergic and 'old' but a 'fool' DSJR ain't...

The Lentek, even in it's day, wasn't up to much. It was bland to the point of boring and was well outclassed by the FR transformers and others of that time. I might even have one tucked away in one of the many boxes I haven't found time to open since my move here.

Problem back then was that certain reviewers who had the clout just weren't into transformers or even MC's. I well remember being given a severe telling off by the Editor of Hi-Fi for Pleasure for my penchant for the FR1 Mk3 and the FR2, using transformers of course. I was also warned that valve amps weren't up to it and it was my taste for 'second harmonic distortion' that was clouding my mind.

I sat in on a couple of 'listening sessions' for the mags at that time and unbiased isn't a word I would use to describe the results....
