I used to have the LD 2+ and currently have the MK3. Both are good for the money. The MK3 is actually great for the money. Especially if you try some better tubes in it. I also like that the MK3 can be used as a preamp.

I've compared it to my Rotel preamp and it beat it. Probably not too tough a task but still impressive considering the Rotel cost about 3 times as much.

I also had a chance to hear the MK3 in a very expensive system. The components were all Electrocompaniet. Did some listening with those and then with the MK3 as the preamp. Was amazing how well it held up in that system. The Electrocompaniet was better but not by a huge margin as I had expected.
Main system- Rotel RCD950, Rotel RC1070, Rotel RB981, Magnepan 10QR, Martin Logan Dynamo sub

Headphone system- Little Dot MKIII, Sennhesier HD 580,
Cambridge Audio 640P phono, Technics SL1210 MK2, Denon DL160
