Trust me on this Neil, I almost definitely made this amp myself, it was also me who came up with the name "Mistral"
These amps were not made until 96, maybe 97.
Also, they could be supplied with the phono board inside, which is basically an LFD mmo board but from memory different caps but pretty much the same as the MMO.
It could be changed to MC by soldering across a couple of pins, or was it cutting the solder joint, cant remember which way round.
But it was far more than a get you home phone stage
A phono stage board could be retro fitted to these amps, but as it happens this one definitely does have the phono board inside, I messaged the seller and asked.
Btw, not a huge difference between the mistral and the LFD int zero, wiring and caps tbh, same main pcb and transformer.
The Int Zero LE had a bigger transformer and heatsink which actually meant about 90 watts, its the same transformer that went into all the bigger lfd amps at the time.
I did suggest to Richard that we should make a super mistral with this transformer, cant actually remember if any were made though, might have been...
