    Description

    This is a used unit of only a few weeks where the customer was so impressed that he traded it back in on LFD's much more expensive NCSE Mk3.

    LFD Mistral
    Plus
    Integrated Amplifier includes MM/MC phono stage
    A new Mistral amplifier from Richard Bews. I have long requested an amp from LFD at an affordable price and with MM and MC phono stage built in.
    Designer, Richard Bews has the best ears in the business. Every last product Richard has ever designed is the best in its class.
    Gene Rubin Audio "PLUS" version Mistral
    . I am paying the extra money to have a seriously upgraded phono stage built into the units that I receive from LFD. My exclusive "PLUS" version uses the same circuit as the LFD Phono LE and powers from additional windings off the main transformer. In the standard Mistral, the phono circuit is a simple op-amp with small transformer. I figure since most of my customers are playing LP's, some extra investment in a superb phono stage is what you guys would want.
    Again, Plus version is only available at Gene Rubin Audio!
    From Richard Bews: "
    The Power amplifier section is 50w/channel using bipolar technology, output protection using a chip that powers a relay, so NO fuses required. Theoretically, there should be thermal limiting, if the chassis/output devices gets too hot.
    The PSU is oversized for better sound quality, but the output is limited to voltage rails of +/- 35V so power output is limited, it cannot be increased. It sounds powerful for the 50W rating, but technically the limited power, does not limit the sound quality (quite similar to LE(V)).
    The Mistral is essentially a LE(V) with a bipolar 50W/cannel power amplifier section. The Mistral is the NEW entry level LFD amplifier, since once the LE(VI) comes out, LFD amplification will have a better sound but will be at a higher price point."
