LFD LE III w/Phono Input?

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 LFD’s 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.

That's good news. Thanks Mofimadness. I'll check with the LFD distributor about ordering one with a phono stage...

Was eyeballing the EAR 834P phono preamp otherwise...

I use a PS Audio GCPH Pre w/my LFD. The PS Audio works well with a variety of cartridges - I presently use a Grado Sonata Ref. w/Rega P25 and all adjustments can be made easily. In addition, the PS Audio comes w/a remote that can function as a volume control for the LFD when you are using your table. With a separate phono pre you retain the flexibility to change the phono section at will.
