About This Book
This book is the comprehensive story of one of the world’s finest high-fidelity audio companies – H. J. Leak & Co. Ltd. From its humble beginnings in 1934, it grew into an internationally recognised brand during the boom years of “hi-fi” in the 1950’s and 1960’s.
Previous employees of the company, and the Leak family, have enthusiastically contributed to this book, through interviews, stories, and photographs from personal collections. This brings a sense of reality to the operations of the Leak company, and how it converted its values into highly successful audio products. Detailed technical information is presented in conjunction with numerous illustrations, and a compendium of circuit diagrams for over thirty Leak products.
For the first time, this book is beautifully presented as a hardback and printed in colour with a dust jacket. It is an essential item for the coffee tables of audio enthusiasts, fascinated with those post-war years in which audio products truly embodied the ideals of high fidelity sound.
