Does anyone know if the LFD LE III has the option for a phono input? If not, recommendations from those that have this amp as to what phono preamps work best with this integrated amp?
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.
Well the LFD LE III w/phono adds a thousand dollars onto the price. Being a Class A amp this may not be the best way to go (having an internal phono stage); seeing as I can get a decent phono pre-amp for less than that.
Now looking at the MOON LP3 phono pre-amp. Anyone have one and would like to comment on it?
I know this may sound stupid to reply after so many years but I just found this thread on Audiogon. I am currently testing the exact same setup, i.e. PS Audio, Grado Sonata and a P25.
Do you remember which we your best Phono preamp setup in the back???
First things first in that the Zero LE Mk4.0 does not have the facility for an on-board phono stage. Next, Neither the Zero LE 3.0 nor 3.1 can have that facility retro-fitted. The option had to be ordered at the time because the version with it had a different main board (with the phono stage built in) compared to one that didnt i.e 2 types of main board. And no, on the other inputs there was no difference between a 3.0 / 3.1 with the mm/mc fitted and one that didnt.
