Re: Another little gem
I remember that amp well, it was the darling of some of the press at the time. Lentek became Audiolab in the end.
Don't think it's worth £635 though.

What I really meant to say is I'm quite tempted (these are very rare) but don't want to tread on your toes if you decided to bid for it.

Re: Another little gem
Don't be silly why should they be Royd user, anyway how many Royd users do you think there are.
Lentek wasn't very good, I tried one because *reviewers were saying it was good* well it wasn't. I gave up borrowing amps *reviewers* liked after the NAD 3020 - crap! Anyway at least the Lentek was better than the Audiolab. Strange Lentek - Audiolab - Tag MaClaren, funny how they got worse each time.
Ion is ok to good but not as good as an early Exposure IMO.

Very good question Doc. I'm guessing 20-30 Royd users in the world.Dr Bunsen Honeydew wrote:Don't be silly why should they be Royd user, anyway how many Royd users do you think there are.
