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.

The 2170 is really quite simple to understand when you learn exactly how it works,you realize how brilliant the Lyngdorf folks are.

I’ve read all kinds of funky theory’s that some folks come up with on other websites and I just don’t know where or how they come to these conclusions.

People tend to over complicate this technology and in relative terms,it’s quite simple,for all that it does and the sonics to my ears prove that.

The 2170 has a great purity and or transparency in the tone and timbre of your music that never has been fatiguing to me.

Folks that are thinking about one just need to try one for them self’s and then decide.

One thing that’s a given to me is It’s definitely a great big amp world out there with lots of great choices,more than we have ever had in this hobby of ours.

You really have hit the nail on the head with one word Kenny.
Fatiguing.
There is none, nada, nothing.
I can listen to my system for 12 hours solid, day after day after day.
And I believe mine is still breaking in with about 200 hours on it.
Kenny,
yes I do own it for nearly a year and yes I traced those paths but even if I didn't there is plenty of info on the web such as this https://translate.google.cz/translate?hl=cs&sl=fr&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.qobuz.com%2F...

Equibit technology is pretty old but its implementation is where Lyngdorf excels and where many including Technics failed previously
Kuky,
Without wishing to start a debate,I Strongly question your overall knowledge about electronics in general,when you made this previous comment.

”grannyring I wouldn't run it 24/7, those LPF caps won't survive for ever, no reason to run it 24/7, it's not tube or class A amp to heat up and stabilize components to perform optimally.”

I’ve been a diy guy for 40 yrs in this hobby and also I’m a Avionics Technician at a major airline for 30,even though I know I will always continue to learn,I have learned a fair amount up to now.

Your previous post on how the 2170 operates isn’t exactly the same as the link you provided,may be a language translation difference.

I see that you are new here and I welcome you to the Audiogon community,you probably have already noticed that there’s a whole wealth of knowledge from folks that have been in this hobby a long time,but we also do occasionally get a internet “Troll” popping in.

Anyway the bottom line is the wonderful sonics,and ease of operation the 2170 offers at a modest price considering all the other equipment that I replaced and sold and was able to step off of the amp and dac merry go round.Woohoo.

Also would be able to pay for a 2170 just with the cost of cables and or room treatments that are no longer needed,just a thought.

Enjoy the music and your 2170,
Kenny.
Kenny,
I didn't register here to argue with or teaching anyone so apologize if it looks like that, I'm here to share my experience with this excellent amp and bring some knowledge about digital signal processing....

but with due respect I have to question why would anyone run direct digital amp 24/7 especially if it doesn't contain any components which requires thermal stabilization and thus could alter its short term operation, of course everyone is free to do whatever they want to do...
in terms of electrolytic caps, as you know they have limited lifespan and wearing off with time so that's why I mentioned it as reason why I wouldn't run it 24/7 

the link provided is just guideline for those interested to find out how does this amp operates in terms of high level signal processing, anyone can google those chips/processors to find relevant info including their history (e.g. why it's called Equibit) 

anyway, I wish to everyone happy listening with this beautiful piece of electronics ;)
