Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
Seems they no longer sell the stand alone room correction unit.  Cable quality is not a function or price. Not every high end cable is best for your particular room, rig and preferences. Once you get the unit just determine if all sounds as you wa...

The analog outs on the 2170 are not a strength in terms of the unit’s design. I never said it was not meant to be used with another amp. I said if you want the best sound then going through the analog outs you will be sacrificing sound quality vs ...

I probably posted this at least a dozen times on this thread and others but yes I have tried many other solid-state and tube amps with the 2170. The 2170 always sounded better by itself. Yes you should’ve run room correction and that is my quote a... 
Any Tekton users in UK???
Just call Or email Tekton and see what they can do for you.  Great speakers!  
Jumperless jumpers
Yes this is a good method for sure. Even better sound can be had however by building jumpers using the Duelund 16 gauge stranded copper in cotton wire for the highs. Four strands twisted in a starquad configuration per individual jumper.   
Are ferrites effective for cabling?
I reseached the right ones to use and experimented. Did my due diligence. Dulled the sound unfortunately. So yes one could say they lowered the noise floor, but they also lowered the Fidelity! Oh well.  
Are ferrites effective for cabling?
Ok, tried them on Ethernet and usb cables and found they dulled the sound too much. Much like putting any amount of Stillpoints ERS tape on cables. 
Duelund RCA interconnects...opinions
16 gauge is needed on the xlr set for best sound. Yes, connector quality matters for sure.   
Reasonable RCA Connectors?
Good idea!  
Reasonable RCA Connectors?
Funny stuff!  
What is the latest greatest USB add on device?
I can you this Ozzy. The Duelund 20 gauge stranded copper in cotton make a fine DC cable. I used 4 runs with two on + and two on - in a starquad configuration. I double shielded one with two layers of copper braid tubing and compared it to an unsh... 
What is the latest greatest USB add on device?
Yes this takes a lot of effort.  No doubt. Tons to read through and understand. I am into DIY and am intentionally curious so I will plow on. I am building a cable without all the Poe connections and junctions. We will see.   
Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!?
I also wonder why so many fuse replacements? I thought MR gear was reliable and did not blow fuses regularly?  
What is the latest greatest USB add on device?
Jaybe, are you using the better Dual Cat or the lesser single Ethernet cable with those pigtail style Poe injectors? I am using the Dual Cat with two 8 port Poe injectors, Monoprice Ethernet cables and a final starquad Mundorf silver/gold 6 inch D... 
Reasonable RCA Connectors?
I see. Thanks for the clarification.Great info here for you and others to learn about and try first hand. Amazing.
