Looks like my cables will be here tomorrow just in time for a weekend of break-in and listening. Can't wait... I remain just a big kid. I think Peter Pan was an Audiophile.
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
Hello All,
I’m coming up on 40 yrs in this hobby,and or obsession of ours,and I started with a pair of Khorns and Macintosh at the age of 12 and Offcourse owned a ton of different gear over the yrs.
I bought a 2170 a little more than 6 months ago and I enjoyed it so much that I quickly realized I don’t really need anything else,solid state,tubes,or even dac’s anymore.I could step off that silly merry go round of amplification and just enjoy music.I was able to utilize the extra money and time and put together a really great sounding network audio system that rivaled the best in analog that I have ever had,I was mainly a analog guy all of these yrs but finally gave it up,I even sold my longtime record collection of 3k records which included many Hot Stampers that I purchased and also several that I found on my own.
So who Luv’s the 2170 and is maybe also thinking about the new 3400.
Happy Listening,
Kenny.

@grannyring My rig is much fuller sounding than when you heard it I added the DI OversizedCenter from Tekton .http://www.tektondesign.com/center-channel.html It has four 6 inch drivers and the 7 tweeter array.I am still using jRiver Media Center24. I love it . I am using HDMI from the PC to the MX151(Purist Audio). my 70 inch Sony quit on me . Got a 4k replacement.. Got 4K Roku . I bought an OPPO UDP-203 universal player . I have been playing DVD-Audio, SACD and 4k movies . The cool thing is that the UDP-203 has an HDMI input . I am using it for the 4K Roku stick. This way i get all audio through the MX151 Also has 2 HDMI outs. One for Audio only (to the McIntosn MX151) and video to the Tv only. This way your A/V processor does not have to Pass or Process 4K . Somebody was thinking on that one. I highly Recommend the UDP-203. I doubt they have any left, though. They are going to quit and shutdown production after they are all gone . They had 9 left when i ordered mine last week from Oppo Digital $549.00 People are buying them and trying to sell them for $800 and up. I would say that streaming has killed the manufacturing of the player. This could be a trend in the industry. Do you make hdmi cables ? |
Bill, Do you make HDMI cables? Dialed in ? I think it is . It sounds pretty damn .good . Remember the McIntosh Mx151 has Lyngdorf Room Correction too , but for up to 7.1 channels, so SACD and DVD-Audios are amazing sounding through the OPPO -203. I just need to get a Good HDMI cable for the audio out from the Oppo player into the McIntosh MX151. For my pc (jRiver) to the MX151 I am using Purist Audio HDMI. I may buy that again for the Oppo. I asked Jim Aud (Purist Audio Owner) on the phone before I bought the HDMI, which of his cable series did it most sound like . His reply was that it sounded most like the 30th Anniversary cable .It has MSRP of $200 for 6 footer. It is definitely worth that.... and yes you can actually call and speak with him . Phone: 979.265.5114 I would recommend Eric Love(Purist Dealer) from Audio surroundings if anyone is interested on purchasing the HDMI http://www.audiosurroundings.com/ |
