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.

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/ |
The GR USB cables arrived. They were well packed and in great condition. I really like the looks of them. Nicely finished but with a retro look. And best of all they are very flexible. I'm not going to bend them around much since I'm sure that isn't great for them, but at least I can finally get the small iFI Micro to lay flat on it's isolator feet. They are now up being broken-in with my wife playing her play list. This is what I deem destructive testing. Her list is a bit "bass heavy". But it's at least on the Bullitt Theater exercise program. So far they sound great. I'm looking forward to some intense listening later this weekend when they get some time on them. |
@bullitt5094 I had the three tweeter, two mid driver version of the DI Center for a while. It worked really well. Better than myB&W HTM1. Which shouldn’t be a surprise at this point. But I’m sure 2X times the drivers certainly gets the job The Double Impact oversized center is Really Good. Eric actually calls it the Ultimate Center Channel .IMO, he should change the name on the web to just that."The Ultimate Center Channel" The Intelligibility is Very Very Good . That is what you want for a center channel.The Bass is more than deep enough for fantastic Dialog. Just yesterday when i got home at like 4PM, I actually was playing a SACD for a bit on the OPPO 203 in 5.1 surround . The center channel is so good that it took me a good 10 minutes or so to realize that i forgot to turn on the Rogue Audio ST-100 amp . It powers the Left and Right Double Impact Speakers . All other channels ..Center ,,Surround Left and Right and Sub were playing as they are all , (except SUB),powered by an Emotiva LPA-1 five channel amp with a trigger . This happened because i do not have trigger capabilities on the Rogue. It sounded very good without the L/R. That showed me that the Center is Fantastic |
I got a call from Eric a few days ago. I am suppose to have my Ulf center by the end of the month. I'm currently still using my 804s and HTM1 for my surround/Home Theater application. When the Ulf center arrives I can then remove the B&Ws from the Home Theater and use the Tekton system for movies as well as 2 channel. I'm really looking forward to that. |
