Used - LFD LE Special Edition (SE) Phonostage
LFD LE Special Edition (SE) phono pre-amp. Adjustable gain to accept either moving magnet (MM) or moving coil (MC) cartridges. The SE model has "a power transformer that's more than twice the size of the original" and upgraded wiring and isolation feet.
Gain is set as such: for moving-magnet (39dB) or moving-coil (53dB) cartridges. Phonostages are configured for 53dB, but 39dB can be selected by opening the chassis and removing, with de-soldering braid or such, a pair of solder links at the rear-center portion of the PCB. Sonically, there's significant rendering of musical details with space between performers. A natural timbre with deep bass and solid images.
In 2011, Art Dudley reviewed both the LFD LE and LFD LE (SE). The review is very informative and Art was a tough critic. Excerpt: "Both phono stages are lovingly made and cost-effective: two qualities that appear far too seldom in our hobby, and that virtually never go together when they do. Highly recommended!"
