Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
I ended up buying the 3400 that was advertised in this thread. Can't fully speak to the sound quality because my coincident pre's are in storage for another month after I complete a year away from my house/job. I'm currently running it with a pair... 
Pass labs X250.5 cracking noise
Yep, mine did this too. 
Int Amp for Thiel CS 3.7
The Hegel room at RMAF a number of years ago had 3.7s in it. I thought the combo sounded great. I had 2.4s at the time and it made me jealous. The Thiel room with the new (then) 2.7s, not so much. 
Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers
I'm wondering whether anyone in here has compared the Townshend products to the gaias? If you need the gaia 1s, the Townshend seismic bars seem like a relevant competitor...  
Isoacoustics GAIA question
Anyone know of any gaia vs Townshend comparisons? I’ve considered a pair of Townshend bars as well as the gaia’s for my speakers. Still not sure what direction I’ll go, although I do like the Townshend videos. They’re persuasive for the science ty... 
Pass Labs 350.8 or 260.8 ?
I say this in every thread about Pass amp comparisons, but it's the truth and bears repeating.  You should just call Pass directly.  They're great.  They can't help you with weight concerns, but can answer any questions you might have about what m...

@klh007 great, thanks for the recommendation.

Also, any chance they'll release an Ethernet board for the 2170 for "legacy users" who'd like to stream?

@klh007  Do you know if they allow demos? I'd like the chance to try out the product if paying full retail (and unheard)...

Glad to see you can stream to the 3400 over Ethernet. That was one of my issues with the 2170. I don’t want to go back to usb audio.  
Value of Adding Bridge II to Direct Stream DAC
I have one in a pwd II and it is so much better than usb. So good that I don't think I'll ever go back to usb. As for purchasing, just look for a couple ps audio dealers on agon and email about possible deals. They often offer substantial discount... 
Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts?
@brownsfan So useful, thanks so much. 
Best amp/ IC's to go with my Thiel 2.4SB's
P.S. I loved my pass & Thiel combo. 
Best amp/ IC's to go with my Thiel 2.4SB's
If you're going to consider pass, I would call them and ask for a recommendation. I used an xa30.5 on mine, which was much better than a 250.5. At the time I was warned by pass that the 250.5 would be "a little bright" with the 2.4s, and that was ... 
Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts?
@brownsfan Do you have any threads where you discuss the amp choices for your SV's? I bought some coincident PREs and am trying to figure out how to amplify them (or whether to keep my Franks and find an alternative speaker). It sounds like maybe ...
