"The list of passive componentry is like reading Ken Ishiwata’s Christmas wish list, with Rodenstein loading and feedback resistors, Elna capacitors in parallel and top quality wirewound resistors in critical locations.
The NLE talks straight to you, giving a single-ended triode-like immediacy; by comparison most transistor amplifiers make him (Peter Gabriel) sound like he’s been bound and gagged in his vocal booth.
…. But the exuberantly music nature of this LFD Audio amplifier seems able to eke out vast amounts of emotion from even the most mediocre of pressings.
I again found myself transfixed by the NLE’s rendering ….
It’s a compelling companion that lets you ‘lock on’ to the emotion in almost any recording, taking you direct to the scene of the musical event without stopping to read the show notes first.
Another tantalizing product from LFD Audio which when matched carefully can sound majestic."
