Leben

Leben, or life in German, is a Japanese manufacturer of rare talent. The owner and chief designer, Mr Taku Hyodo, is an extraordinary individual. Having been a professional musician and a well-known audiophile, his talent was utilised previously at Luxman as a skilled hifi engineer before starting his own company. At first designing only for friends, his talents became well known and demand grew, resulting in the limited but world-wide distribution of his amazing products...

Lovingly manufactured by hand in Japan using point-to-point wiring, these products are designed with the best performance in mind with care being taken to ensure a long life. Consideration is taken to pricing, Leben actually manufacture many of their own parts as well, this also ensures top-notch quality throughout. Valves are chosen to be readily available and tube rolling (changing) is generally no problem!
