Be interesting to measure the old LEAK and see what its capable of up
against some more modern equipment?....


I've not measured it, but I have run a scope, etc, over the old Leak
Troughline mono tuner I have. Showed an alarming amount of leakage of
both the stereo diff and IF components emerging from the audio.


But that's what gives it the distinctive valve sound...

They actually make the decoder with valves?


I still have the Mullard circuits for this. Was temped to make one at
one time, but decided it was a waste of effort. :-)


Right - I've never come across a valve circuit for one. The earliest
stereo tuner I saw was the Quad II mod.
