The Lyngdorf TDAI 3400 does everything including room correction, it’s comes with mic and stand, it sounds superb and has bass & treble where you can set the effective frequency, plus multiple preset ‘voicings’ and the ability to create your own. Very comprehensive, very flexible, very cheap for what it does.
Preamp/Integrated with Loudness button
Dear All,
Can you please recommend a high quality, modern, in production, preamp or integrated amp with loudness button? The only such products I know are Luxman L-595ASE and Luxman LX-380.
Though L595 got everything I’m looking for, it’s bit out of my budget. Not having a remote is a deal breaker for LX-380. So here we go. Any other product you want to recommend ? Thanks

I prefer to have a simple push button 'Loudness' ON/OFF solution. Don't want me to customise it. For that, we could use 'Bass/Treble' control or even go for a miniDSP. I have an Yamaha entery level integrated. The variable loudness switch is almost useless for me. It doesn't give the desired 'punch' the way I get from, now retired, B&K pre. I think the best bet here is Luxman & we should thank them for keeping the legacy. |
Chase Remote Line Controller RLC-1 these are not current production, however, they either work, or they don’t, I’ve never had one give any trouble (one arrived damaged). I have them in my 3 systems. here’s 4 for sale (make sure it has original remote control, definitely needed to operate it). https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=chase+rlc-1 two accept returns, the return shipping is all you risk. other 2, no returns, but they don’t break, and if arrives broken, eBay/paypal will get your money back. ....................... For about the 10th time, my friends and I did a listening shoot-out. A few months without it, then back in. We simply cannot detect any difference in or out. It’s 120 db s/n, invisible. Remote: power, volume, balance, bass, treble, 4 inputs. And ’automatically/progressively’ engaged ’loudness’ as you lower the volume. ................................. ’Normal Volume’: 1. Chase at ’default’ start-up volume (unplug it/plug it in for defaults) (no loudness is involved). 2. Preamp: Set ’low-normal’ vol with your preamp, that’s it, never change that. 3. Chase controls volume: ^ = less attenuation or v = more attenuation with progressively engaged fletcher-munson ’loudness’. Maintaining bass is what maintains involvement with low volume music, otherwise it becomes background sound. Remote Balance from your listening position while experiencing resultant imaging is a wonderful thing. ....................................... Using this for loudness, you don’t need that on your preamp or integrated, so your choices widen significantly. Using it’s 4 inputs, your preamp or integrated does not need several inputs, also widening your choices. No phono built-in. I’m so confident in it’s invisibility, for phono: my 3 tonearms to SUT with 3 inputs/MM Pass to my mx110z vintage tube tuner preamp’s MM Phono, out of mx110z to Chase RLC-1, to Cayin amp. I’ve gone preamp direct to Cayin, line in or pre-in, or thru Chase, it’s invisible, wonderful features. The mx110z has a Loudness control, but it's manual, take a hike, the Chase is definitely preferable for this. |
