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.

I really don’t want to do so on this thread. The unit sounds amazing without it. I don’t want to derail it. It is only for folks who are willing to nullify the warranty, spend at least $300 - $500, and have advanced skills. It requires taking apart the unit to access the back of the circuit board and then desoldering parts and resoldering new parts that are very big for the space. Advanced skills are a must or the unit will be ruined in quick fashion.

You can go into the 2170 settings and turn off the auto standby mode.

My wire of choice for this unit includes the Phasure Lush USB, my own DIY USB, and a musical power cord such as one made with Furutech  FP-SO22N Nano AuAg 14 AWG Power Cable and high quality connectors.

Make sure RoomPerfect is on Neutral/ Focus all the time. I have sometimes had RP on Bypass (off) or had RP on Global by mistake. Not nearly as good sounding as Focus.

What room correction % did you have? The % readings is in the settings somewhere.

I originally had Dipoles speaker with sealed bass module, which didn’t need much room correction..about 9%
Then I got regular cone driven floorstanders and I got about 18% room correction.

Easy tweaks that the 2170 loves.  Good USB cable such as the Phasure LUSH. Good power conditioning and power cord.  She does respond to it.

Totally understand your reticence to post exact details here when it is deeply involved and a warranty voiding matter.
Not sure as I personally want to or need to get that deep into it.....yet.
