Säljer nu min trotjänare, en LFD NCSE Mk1, då jag går över till ett annat system. Detta är en förstärkare för dig som prioriterar musikalitet, transparens och en "naken" ljudåtergivning framför onödiga finesser. LFD, under ledning av Dr. Richard Bews, är världsberömda för sina minimalistiska konstruktioner där varje komponent är handplockad och lödd med extrem precision. NCSE-modellen (New Chassis Special Edition) är en kraftig uppgradering från den mindre Mistral-serien, m
Against your recent SEK comps, this sits well above the 75th percentile: kr21,500 versus a median of kr11,741, with the upper quartile at kr16,720. On your own market anchor, that makes it ambitious rather than fair, so I’d only pay it if the condition and provenance are unusually strong.
That said, this is a respected amp with a serious following for its natural, tonal, musically coherent presentation and strong drive at sane volumes. It can be a very satisfying buy if it’s clean, fully working, and ideally comes with original packaging or documentation. At kr21,500, I’d want clear evidence of recent servicing, careful ownership, and no channel imbalance, switch noise, or tired sockets before stretching to it.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
LFD Audio, a boutique British hi-fi manufacturer, traces its origins to 1987 in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, England. Founded by Dr. Richard Bews, a PhD student of Professor Hawksford—who pioneered influential audio research groups—the brand embodies a commitment to minimalist, low-distortion electronics. From its early days, LFD has prioritized hand-assembly by Bews himself, crafting components with painstaking selection of parts for sonic purity over aesthetic flair.
The company focuses primarily on solid-state amplifiers, including long-running integrated models like the LE, Zero Mk III LE, Mistral, and NCSE, alongside specialized gear such as the MCT preamplifier. LFD also produces high-end cables, interconnects, and phono leads, often refined in collaboration with dealers like Unique Audio, which has partnered with them for over 30 years. Their lineup eschews flashy features, turntables, speakers, DACs, or headphones, zeroing in on amplification and cabling as core strengths.
Positioned firmly in the high-end niche, LFD commands a cult following among discerning audiophiles for delivering some of the most natural-sounding solid-state amps available, despite their utilitarian, "butt ugly" appearance. As a low-profile, one-man operation far from mainstream fanfare, it appeals to buyers seeking uncompromised performance in a vintage-inspired, boutique package.
