| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G thanks @jdodmead for the reference to the old thread.Looks like I will stick with the ace space arm then.Apparently the best cart to start with then is the Nagaoka. Too bad a starter Koetsu wouldn't fit this arm, it might be the sound I am looking... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G I am so far based on your responses leaning towards a spacedeck.Should I get a ace-space arm or are there better tone-arms for this TT? | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G Wow! Thank you for all the responses.I definitely prefer the analogue sound more than digital (the reason I liked my AMR DAC was that it was very analog sounding). But digital is important for me since most of the music I listen to cannot be found... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? Hi Cal,I am awaiting your feedback on the Truth as well as I remember our experiences with the Lyngdorf were quite similar.Anyways, I just tried the combination of Lyngdorf as DAC and Pre feeding the Coincident 300b and it has been the best my sys... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. @shkong78 Looking forward to your story. | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. @shkong78 Do please report back with your findings. Perhaps you and I are having the same problem (speaker mismatch). | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. I have had my Lyngdorf 3400 for about a month now.Its super convenient, but it has yet to wow me (except for the great bass).I don't hear the warmth, texture, and feel like I am losing the realness and palpability and you are there moment of my tu... | |
| High-end TT setup with phono stage built in Sadly, my integrated amp of choice has everything (dac, amp, preamp, streamer and room correction) but no phono preamp (this was an overlook on my part, I thought it had a phono built-in). I have gone a phase of separates everything (tube monobloc... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. I just got my 3400 delivered. Sounds great out of the box, although not as good as the used 2170 I got a home demo for (guessing it needs to be broken in).At some point will compare them to my Coincident Frankensteins Mk2. (Cal, like @charles1dad,... | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 @jcarcopop I ordered mine from Neal around the same time.I think, it was your order he was mentioning while I was going through the process of mine.Neal has been great so far.I can't wait to hear the TDAI-3400 in my setup. | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. Any chance anyone here has a 3400 and wants to give us all feedback? (especially if you were formerly a tube guy). | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. @cal3713 Really looking forward to your comparison against the 300b franks. I own a pair too, and am wanting to replace it with the 3400. | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. I am also waiting on this thread, for someone to post thoughts on the 3400. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? About $3500 if buying used. Or about 5-6K if you insist on buying new.Always active (unless you get singularly lucky with the amp match) and almost always go with tubed preamps (unless you want to spend the big bucks).Almost everyone tries to do w... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. Uggh! My dealer who gave me a home demo for the 2170 (which blew my mind and made me take out the checkbook) is quoting $8939 for 2170 and $11900 for the 3400!! (I live in India now, where custom duties are high (18%), but not this high). Kind of ... |
