Integrated Amp Reviews

Editor: Thank you for reviewing the Legend Starlet [in December 2000]. John Atkinson was exactly right about the testing result. When we put the Stereophile review sample of the Starlet on our test bench, we discovered that the preamp tube (the 5814A) was badly degraded, which did indeed make the Starlet a distortion machine. After we replaced it with a new 5814A tube, it worked beautifully again. We would like to send you a proper working unit to test again.—Ray Leung, Product Consultant, Legend Audio Design
