Great find Rajiv!

Noting that she is using an integrated amplifier. Goggled and I am mighty impressed by the simplicity of design & construction considering its a complete integrated amp. Typical Japanese approach. Reminds you of the 60's Sansui and Luxman designs.

I am inspired to dress up my open chassis EL84 PP amp in a similar housing. Now only if I can find someone to build an enclosure like that

Thanks Rajiv.

A few of the members of AK said, Nora's Leben is the CS 300 or the CS 300 XS, but there is an interview of Nora's on the second page of the thread where you get a better view of the amp, and it is the Leben CS 600, I think.

I am not sure if you know this: singer Katie Melua has a Scheu turntable. Look at these photos of Katie with Ulla Scheu (wife of Thomas Scheu, the priginal designer of the Scheu TTs) and a black Scheu diamond TT (BildergaleriePicture Gallery - Scheu Analog).

Female vocalists seem to like the equipments I have . But they are not going to find my speakers!

aks07,

These amps sound good too. I have the original CS300 here in Kolkata. If you come to Kolkata and have a little bit of time, please come to my place for a listen. The founder and designer of Leben, Taku Hyodo, was a designer-engineer of Luxman. No wonder, you find similarity in the design. I think the Leben integrateds also look quite similar to the old Luxmans.

Regards.

Interesting find Rajiv

Very thoughtful, that Leben has a 4 ohms tap which is good for those Dyn's.

The Leben CS 600 has 6 knobs in total and the amp in the subject doesn't have so many knobs

And he is one of the best seven tube audio engineers in Japan. Got that info from the 6moons review.

Ravi,
Sorry, you are right. It's a CS300 or CS300X or a CS300XS. All these have the same appearance. Shame on me - I was too hurried and did not look carefully and could not recognize my own amp. True, CS600 has extra knobs.

BTW, I use the 4 Ohm tap.

Regards.

Might not be personal. Quite a few forums, etc, just reject Indian-ISP IP addresses. It's particularly annoying of they won't even let you in to read .

I guess we can only blame the bad guys who make the rest of suffer.

Maybe you can just install Tunnelbear & try again if you really want to.
