Questions about Lyngdorf

I’m interested in starting a conversation about, what I’m gonna call the Lyngdorf approach or the Lyngdorf effect. 

I say it that way because Lyngdorf appears to be doing some of the exact same things! audiophiles have been trying to do not only for years but for decades, but doing them differently … and getting what appear to me to be near reference quality results. The three examples I’m gonna give are: tone control, class D design and their anti-clipping algorithm.

I’m not terribly proficient, in terms of electrical or digital design, it’s just not an area of interest of mine. But I’ve been a part of this community long enough to know that there are some seriously bright people around here, and even some serious nerds. By the way, that’s an endearing term. I’ve noticed, the older I e gotten that generally speaking they tend to make pretty big bucks. Sometimes, they also get the hot chick, Lol.

So, rather than trying to facilitate the conversation, I want to open up the topic of conversation and would love to hear from some of the seasoned professionals who are into tubes, etc. 

Because this is not meant to be combative in the least. And quite the opposite I’d like for all of us to continue to learn from our conversations. 

Because, that’s what we’re all after here, right? OK, maybe not all of us. Lol 

Unless someone wants to stir up some you know what, that could probably be fun also.      : )

@ellajeanelle Yep, I've had my TDAI 2170 for a little less than four months now.

I was so fortunate to be in the right place at the right time and got a pretty killer deal on one that's been modified by a longtime member of our group . He replaced some of the caps and all I an say is Wow. 

really, the only thing it doesn't have as the ost recent models is wireless. But, imo that's the only trade off. Considering the performance, twenty six hundred bucks is a stupendous bargain. Not joking, when I say you have to hear it to believe it.

One thing I love about it is that the look is so seriously understated and also so gorgeous, in a very Danish kind if way. I don't know how they did it, but they managed to make it look beautiful. If you're into modern design, you'll love it.

I bet you're getting just as good results if not better with your calibrated microphone. I don't mean to imply this is the only way to great sound. It's just one of the ways. 

When you consider the performance that you get in one box, yeah. I mean, it's a pretty big bang! for the bucks.

Are you familiar with the wire with gain concept?

I use a calibrated microphone and place it at my listening position with an old school Audio Control Industrial SA3050 RTA Real Time 3rd Octave Spectrum Analyzer and run pink noise from the source. I set the all the frequencies so that they are flat. This has always worked for me. I am not convinced that Lyngdorf "room perfect" gear would benefit me or that it would be worth the investment. Do you have any experience with their gear? What is Lyngdorf RoomPerfect Room Correction? | AVForums        RoomPerfect - Steinway Lyngdorf - The world's finest audio systems
