Is it a big and heavy amp or is light and compact? I can't really tell by pictures on the web

I spent a lot of Saturday nights at this place in Seoul when I lived there: Suzie Q: The greatest bar in Hongdae (not my blog)

302mm x 118mm x 270mm (Metal)
326mm x 146mm x 276mm (Wood)
7.02kg (Silver)
8.30kg (Walnut)
Seems about 2/3 width of the usual 450mm/17”:component and about on par weight wise for the type of amp is, not too heavy but not light either.

They order 80% of large Mc amps I was told. Accuphase is also very popular.
Those large JBL monitors are custom made by these guys: ケンリックサウンド（KENRICK SOUND） - JBLスピーカー 43XXシリーズ 大型 中古ヴィンテージ専門店
The drivers are built to spec for them by JBL Northridge.

Haha! I hadn't even noticed the speaker when I was first studying that photo! Any idea what turntables they're using?

It's relatively light. Maybe 15-20 lbs? It is pretty compact.Is it a big and heavy amp or is light and compact? I can't really tell by pictures on the web
A lot lighter and more compact than my old Onkyo

I did a bit of research on the web and it turns out you're correct. The LEAK Stereo 130 is an audiolab 6000a in disguise
They share identical components, same DAC etc. The only difference, albeit a minimal one, is the power output, 45WPC vs. 50WPC. As for the QUAD it is apparently a lot warmer sounding and a tad more powerful at 65WPC.

those are vintage concentric Tannoy Westminster's speakers I believe
The Tables looks like broadcast models, maybe EMI ?
I was actually referencing the Large JBL's here

Now that's a kind of crazy I could cozy up to.

Go on, geezer.
When choosing a stereo amp, what specifications or factor is most important to you? Power output, sound quality or features
I chose mine because I had read and confirmed that it matched well with my speakers. Another factor was that the amp
was made locally. And of course it was available in Silver.

One last question, how's the built-in phono stage or do you use an external phono preamp instead and if so which one?

Really? That's surprising. I love the look of the Leak but got a 6000A on CAM for about half the total cost of a new Stereo 130. I figured there must have been some differences.I did a bit of research on the web and it turns out you're correct. The LEAK Stereo 130 is an audiolab 6000a in disguise

I saw somewhere where that was debunked and it actually has more in common with the Quad. But they definitely are similar and I'm willing to bet the differences aren't huge.

Having a quick look at the pricing and it’s the next audiolab, 8300, that’s more equivalent price wise. Not that it necessarily means anything and it did come out all the way back in 2015.

Curious if anyone has a set up across two rooms or upstairs/downstairs.
I know amps back in the day had the option to run a speaker set A or a speaker set B (or A+B). Does anyone have centralized record player but have multiple sets of speakers or is it just more convenient to have a second turntable/amp and a decoupled system.
