Im the second owner of this LFD Zero LE mkIII and have had this one for years powering my Harbeths at low-to-medium volume. Its performed beautifully and Ill definitely miss it. Im selling because Ive upgraded to a new separates setup. Upgraded meaning Ive gained some characteristics, but loss some loved qualities that this LFD brings to the sonic presentation. Dont know what more to say about this. Im guessing if youre looking at this listing you know all about LFD. This is one of the incarnations of Dr. Richard Bews well-loved amplifier design couple to a passive preamplifier front to make up the entire integrated amplifier. While passive preamps have always had a reputation of degrading sound, Dr. Bews design of the amplifier takes into account his design of the passive preamplifier stage. This is the integrated amplifier that Sam Tellig of Stereophile gushed about in his article of how it paired so well with Harbeth speakers to his ears. The unit is fully functional at the time that I packed it up in the original double-box configuration for shipping by LFD. Ive never had any issues with it in the time Ive owned it. Good luck on bidding if you choose to bid!

The LFD Zero MkIII LE is a highly regarded integrated amplifier handmade in the UK by Dr. Richard Bews. “the LFD Integrated MK.III LE is the best-sounding solid-state integrated amplifier I have ever heard. I know of no other integrated, of any type, that sounds quite so right.” - Stereophile “The LFD Integrated Zero and its Limited Edition version, are simple to use 50W and 60W per channel MOSFET amplifiers, offering 5 inputs and a separate tape facility. In standard form [as here] the amplifiers omit the phono stage, however this particular facility can be supplied at extra cost. To raise the performance of the integrated amplifier above normal expectations, custom wiring based upon PC-OCC and LC-OFC technologies are used, together with the utilisation of high quality passive components. DC coupling is also employed in both models to alleviate the degradations caused by capacitors placed in the signal path. Further enhancements have been achieved by adopting an entire aluminium chassis and lid; thus reducing magnetically coupled distortions. Star earthing, separate power supplies for the input and output stages, together with high current delivery, allow these amplifiers to drive even difficult loudspeakers with ease. - LFD COSMETIC CONDITION: 7/10 has some light scratches on the top of the unit, the back left corner and a dark blemish on the upper right edge of the chassis.

For your consideration is the LFD LE MKIV Integrated Amplifier. A very simple, very clean line stage with mofset power amplifier. https://www.stereophile.com/content/2014-recommended-components-integrated-amps-receiversLFD Mk.IV LE: $3695“If you like features, this integrated has none,” says ST, but “If you like sweet, highly resolving sound, the LFD offers these aplenty.” The latest refinement of LFD’s LE integrated amplifier is rated to deliver 60Wpc and has a new chassis of extruded aluminum, a thick top cover, a much thicker faceplate, and three beautifully shaped knobs. The Mk.IV LE uses two MOSFET output devices per channel and a custom-made volume pot, but forgoes convenience features such as tone controls, specialized inputs, and remote handset. Compared with the Mk.III, the Mk.IV LE had a richer, fuller tonal balance, with deep, solid bass, astonishing immediacy, and exceptional dynamic range. “The LFD Mk.IV LE is artisanal hi-fi of the highest order, as much artistry as science,” said ST, who bought the review sample. (Vol.34 No.1) The original box and manual is not included but this will ship very secure in a similarly sized components packaging. Thank you!
