Here is an excerpt from the Stereophile review:
Meanwhile, I tried my second version of the LFD with my Rega P25 turntable, fitted with Goldring G1020 MM cartridge. The phono-stage gain is
internally switchable: 38dB for MM, 53dB for MC. This was my first encounter with the LFDs phono stage. I was expect- ing the usual ho-hum sort of stage built into most inexpensive integrated amps (when offered at all). What I got was totally unexpected: a first-rate phono stage that reduced digital to dust. Well, almost.
But remember: the phono stage must be installed at the LFD factory.
