Has anyone in the UK heard of Lecson Preamps & Amplifiers? I have two
preamps and a 100watt/ch cylindrical Amplifier. Is there any market for them
in the UK? They were shown briefly in the movie "Clockwork Orange".



Wasn't this designed by Dave Aspinal about 1980 or thereabouts, or was
he involved in the Lentek outfit?. Another bunch located near the hub of
British Audio, around Huntingdon.

Time doth distort the memory somewhat!....

IIRC, they were done by Boothroyd, and Bob Stuart of Meridian.

Not sure of this, my (unreliable) memory is that the visual/mech design was
Boothroyd, but IIRC Stan Curtis may have been involved in at least one
incarnation of the power amp. I think there was a magazine article about it
a few years later as part of a series he did on various ways to design
power amps.

Slainte,

Jim
