New LFD Zero LE mkIV

Hello again Airegin.

Please feel free to call me Howard. I can’t recall why I came up with the silly Bigaitch name in the first place.

Thank you for this. I would never be so rude as to not fully read what a person, any person in fact has posted here in response to something I’ve said. And thank you for your interesting observations.

Re reviewers being loaded, well I’ve not come across this personally, despite having been an ad-hoc reviewer for Hi-Fi News for a while. Frankly, given all the political intrigue, a thankless task. Yes, I’ve been around a bit – selling audio on and off since 1976. most of it was fun too. and today, in parts, it still is. No way to make money of course, but useful for filling in the cracks between all the other stuff I do.

Using your latest response as a catalyst, then if someone wants to initiate a thread along the lines of ‘one person’s view of the inside track re UK audiophile reviewing’ then I’ll be happy to inflict my two-cents worth on any hapless individual straying across that thread’s path. Or alternatively, I could shut up and respond only to LFD stuff. Any thoughts anyone?

Tell us about the upcoming base phono stage ;-)

I too would love a phono stage!

Listened to the lfd le mk4 signature version with a pair of Neat Mystique. Stunning in every area. More open than the older design and tonality is a real treat. Told that there is no onboard phono option however because casework is more compact than older design. But the sound more than makes up for it. Except for power which is still more than adequate it competes with seperates costing close to 10K. No remote and looks are only modest but unusually high quality under the hood.
