LFD Mistral Plus Integrated Amplifier with built in MM MC Phono Stage

A new Mistral Plus amplifier from Richard Bews. I have long requested a "budget" amp from LFD. One 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 2018, 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, the Mistral PLUS version is only available at Gene Rubin Audio!

I highly recommend the use of LFD AC cord and speaker wires with this amp.

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/channel  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."--Designer Richard Bews
