The RS-100 is the new line preamplifier from Leben, designed by Mr Taku Hyodo.

This is a one box linestage design with the usual faultless build quality and superb musicality which we have come to expect as 'standard' from Leben.

There are five line inputs plus a direct input terminal which goes directly to the volume control to transmit a pure signal without passing contact points of the selector switch giving a superior result when a phono preamplifier or a CD player is used through the Direct Input. In addition to this, there are 2 outputs (one fixed and one variable) making the RS-100 an easy match for almost any power amplifier or system requirements.

Very high quality audio-grade components are used for all essential parts:

* Super-precision German UXB resistor of 0.1% error margin.

* "EAO"(Germany) MKP Condensor

* "Nichicon" audio-grade condensor "Fine Gold"

* "ALPS" audio-grade volume for Volume and Balance controls.

* "Spiral Wire" for all inner wiring(very near the single structural wire)
