Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.

I will look at the relay one of these days,this is why I have always kept 2 complete systems,because of the nature of electronics,but for a amp backup all I have is a Octave audio tube integrated and I would have to use a Oppo with its built in Dac.😩.

Anyway,without the blessings from Terry London,I’m presently modding my Silverline Boleros with better caps on the Esotar tweeters,Duelund internal wire and more and better damping material,Eaisest speakers that I’ve ever worked on for sure.😃.

Since we are discussing the known issues that the 2170 has,I have heard from 2 other long term owners that they have a issue with the pwr switch on the back outboard of the pwr iec input.They have reported electrical arcing noises when using that switch at various times.

I never use that switch myself I just leave it switched on and if I take the 2170 out of my system I simply unplug it.I’ve seen several amps over the yrs that have done this,including Accuphase that I owned.

When I get around to modding my 2170,I’m going to wire the switch completely out of the circuit and add a better quality iec connector and may add a standard fuse holder to try out a tuning fuse of some kind.

Well, I made the decision to go for the 3400.  I switch speakers so often, I want to have the extra power just in case it's needed.  Plan on going through HiFiHeaven, unless someone knows a better US retailer.

I have listed my 2170 if anyone is interested, as well.

robelvick,
Cool going for a 3400,and let us know how you like it.

Would you know exactly how old your 2170 is,Lyngdorf does put a date of manufacturer on the board if you have ever had the top open.

You might give Tony Barnette a call,he’s the owner of Ellington HiFi in Alabama.He May be able to get you one the quickest.

Enjoy,
Kenny.

Thanks for the suggestions! I will reach out to Ellington.

So tempted with the 3400, but the design is killing me, how could they make it so ugly, why not hide the connections on the front behind a door !? Not something I would show of in a living room, maybe buy it and hide it in a cabinet..,
And the Danes are supposed to know design, well I think they were sleeping on this one.
