Default Leben CS300/CS-30EQ Review

The Leben CS300 and CS-30EQ received a very positive review in the 11/11
issue of Stereophile from Art Dudley.

I had my first experience with Leben recently. Mightily impressed.

I just received my CS300 yesterday. Just curious about the power cord. Is the rather thin supplied cord the best option? I owned a Shindo Masseto/Montille combination and the supplied cords were the best with those. Just curious if it is the same with Leben.

Hi!

First post here. How do you guys reckon the CS300 would perform hooked up to my Audio Note AZ-2:s?

Seems to be a really sweet amp.

Dave...most likely they are. My friends who own Leben and Shindo have tried aftermarket pc's with mixed results and decided to spend their $$ on music. Maybe Matt from PitchPerfect will chime in on this subject.

I had a Leben RS100u and RS30eq. I was told to use the stock cables. I tried those and a pair of power cords from Zu Audio. Darned if I could hear any difference. But the Leben "stock" was recommended.

PS - Makube - Welcome!
