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.

@aniwolfe , I experienced the former problem; could adjust the volume with the remote, but not on the 2170. It alternated between two numbers when spinning the volume wheel. This was straight out of the box so I went through the store where I had purchased the unit. It ended up being shipped back to Denmark to be fixed. So I feel some of your waiting/no music pain.

I did read on avforums.com ’Lyngdorf discussion thread’ that someone else had the same issue and had been in contact with Lyngdorf. They notified him/her that it was a known issue. This was sometime around November of last year, so hopefully it is resolved or will be resolved soon.

The Lyndgorf 2170 is only my second integrated amp (no plans on upgrading in the near future). So, not much experience. I highly considered scraping the 2170 and going in a different path after the volume issue. I didn’t consider it a cheap amp either. The problem was that I so enjoyed the silent background, RoomPerfect and overall smooth sound that I decided to give it a second try and haven’t looked back.

Anyway, best of luck to you!
Maybe a little late to the party. I hate to bash in general and especially w/ the low number of posts, but thought I'd also share that I had a poor experience with who I believe is the owner of Hi-Fi Heaven. I dealt with 3 different people, 2 of which were great and provided friendly customer service and last not so much. I also must agree that they were very generous on the trade in value that I received on a pair of speakers, amp and a sub. To spare you all the details I received my 2170 with the volume issue out of the box. I played very nice and patient IMO. Finally, after feeling like I was being taken advantage of, I called and used my adult voice to get things moving. I don't remember all the dates and don't want it to appear worst than it was, but it was well over a month (6 weeks if I remember correctly) from the time that I notified the store of the issue to having a properly working 2170 back in house. So, I do believe those of you that have had less than ideal dealings w the above mentioned person and also am glad to hear that others had positive interactions.
