I’ve seen this said quite a few times lately.
I’m not sure I understand. I’ve never considered leakage desirable enough for those to be a “correct” value for leakage.
My thought has always been that leakage should be the lowest possible value to bias a “no-bias” or “leakage bias” stage and that’s literally the only place it’s desirable.
Obviously, you put up with certain high leakage devices, along the lines of the OC75 for instance, because of the frequency content they may have. In that case, you do t mess with the vintage circuit because they bias up properly with leaky units.
Other than that, I would want low leakage devices and to then tweak the circuit to accommodate them.
