LFD Integrated Zero MK III

late response here...I have heard this amp in a local place w/ kudo speakers/ neat speakers. Despite not being familiar w/ kudo and only moderately familiar w/ neat (i owned the mystiques II), i would STILL have to agree with Ryder's enthusiastic post. It seemed to me that, regardless of knowing the speakers (and regardless of which of the two pairs was being used), the sound was gorgeous. I won't go on and on with the usual audiophile jargon to describe its sound, but I would urge anyone looking for an excellent integrated to give the LFD a try.

The LFD Int zero is quite a musical amp. I auditioned one at my nearby dealer.
Most of what Ryder said is dead on.
I wonder what Dr Bews did to this small amp.
For those curious about this amp, give it a try, it wont disappoint.

get one on audition and let your ears be the judge. This little amp blew away my Naim separates. Not even close. Much more musical to my ears. I also tried Ayre and Conrad Johnson integrateds. I really wanted to like them both, but the LFD just hit me right in the chest.

I love it and the NCSE. Buying the NCSE, but it may not really be worth the difference. The III sounded super to my ears. Caveat is I am listening to jazz/vocals/acoustic stuff on some HArbeths. I know, the combo is the "in" thing, but they do work very well together, and the simplicity is nice. I do not miss a remote at all.

I wanted to add, I have the LFD Integrated Zero MK III and Harbeth SHL5s. Fantastic amp! What everyone else said above... Also worked well with my previous Gallo Ref 3.1s, but was just enough power (would have liked a little more).

Now comparing the LFD to a Red Wine Audio 30.2 and a PS Audio GCC-250: the LFD won in all areas, except bass - in bass I gave the edge to both of the other amps with the PS audio being the best - but the LFD was still very good there too. I understand the next LFD model has improved bass....
