Leben Hi-Fi ?
 
Was watching a Norah Jones interview that was shot in her home a while back. I noticed her stereo system consisted of several Leben components.

Curious if anyone has experience with this brand. Impressions? :scratch2:

Leben is Japanese. If you're after delicious sound, you can't go wrong with Leben.

Jerome W 12-29-2013 10:09 PM

Agreed.

Leben is delicious as Norah's voice...

Thanks guys.

Do you know of any quality or functional issues to be aware of? How are their products serviced if any problems?

Leben has a worldwide network of importers who will be able to service 90% of the issues. I guess that for very heavy problems the units go back to Japan but like Shindo, Leben is very reliable and most of the time you will only need to change a tube. They are made for life.

I have a Leben CS300XS integrated in my family room driving a pair of Devore Fidelity Super 8's. It is an amazing little amp. Very musical, well balanced, with a delicious tone. I play it for at least 2 hrs. every day with dead solid reliability. Tone Imports is the North American importer so excellent customer service is available. I particularly like the bass boost feature that functions just like a loudness button. Their integrated amps are highly rated. Not much info available on their separates but I'm sure they are just as wonderful.

Leben is highly regarded among headphone users, particularly the CS300 series that has mythical status.

Dale.......That is a sweet integrated amplifier.
