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.

essrand,
Excellant so glad you got to try one in your own system,that’s the best way.Who’s the dealer that you got it from.

Once you get the 2170 optimized in your system and broken in,you may forget all about the Ancient tubes,I know I certainly did.

mofojo,
I hope it works out for you as well as it has for me.

Totally stepped off the Amp,Dac,and Cable merry go round and don’t plan to get back on.

Kenny.

In the next few days my dealer will send me a copy of the 3400 
owners manual and within a month I probably will be able to borrow one.Then I will be able to directly compare to to the 2170.

I see I’m missing some good posts here,
It’s kinda hard to type when I’m in a state of musical bliss,with many files queued up in Roon and my eyes closed.

I will try and read and answer later on,

Kenny.

Stick with the equicore 1800 for sure!
Massive improvement when i bought mine.
I use mine with my own power cords and I have everything plugged into the equicore

@radiohead99 - Definitely going with either the Equicore 1800 or Equi-Tech Son of Q for my TDAI 3400 when it arrives. I'm auditioning the Equi-Tech already in my old system which arrived yesterday. I also have a pair of Equicore 1800 coming and the new Equicore DeepCore on order too, but that's a few weeks away from shipping since it's in late beta still. I'll compare them all and report back.

The also use a Core Power Tech conditioner. Remember the 2170 only pulls perhaps 20-30 watts when operating. I use mine with a CPT Equicore 150. All that is needed. The 1800 is a great unit! @radiohead99 you have  all you need and more 😊

The new 3400 is likely to pull more, but still very little relative to other amps and separates.
