Tekton Double Impacts
I ride a Trek Domane S6 Disc. I needed a tall head tube and good geometry for my bad lower back and 6ft 4in height. The Trek 62 fits me very well. I am retired so I have time to ride, build cables and mod gear!

I am over 6000 miles and like you have been layering up for 35 degree rides with wind.  However, today the temp is 63 degrees here in the Franklin, TN area! Heading out for a short and fast 20 miler!  
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
Thanks for all you do as it is greatly appreciated! As a DIY tube enthusiast I would love to hear your suggestions on a good tube amp kit to build. Looking for at least 20 - 30 watts per channel. Can you point me to a place where such a kit is ava... 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
Also the 2170 sounds best using the usb input.  If you need more power, then the 2400 is the perfect answer.  It does sound good with the 2170.  I saw a used one up for sale here yesterday. My comments are only based on my rig, preferences  and ro...

No you dont.  Not at all.  However the 2400 does sound different.  I tried it and like the 2170 more on its own. The 2400 had more bass and control/authority.  However I felt I lost a little musicality.   
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
Yes, the fuse is built into the IEC connector.  
Bypass capacitor position?
I did not use the silver bypass caps  on the tinned copper Duelund caps. I only used them with the CAST. It may not sound good with the tinned copper caps, I  just don’t know. I thought you used the original CAST line. 
Bypass capacitor position?
Erik, I also use them extensively, not just once, and they work marvelously with both Jupiter copper foil and Duelund caps in electronics.    Not sure if you actually tried them with these two caps and in electronics...not crossovers?  
Bypass capacitor position?
Nice decision on the Duelund caps! Bypass them with the Duelund .01uf pure silver bypass cap for another nice jump in realism. Those power supply caps all appear to be in parallel from the pics? Not entirely sure, but it looks so. Can’t see real c... 
Bypass capacitor position?
I agree. All looks fine to me.  Nice to see an all film cap power supply.  Not often done, but really is a nice improvement in SQ.

Makes me wonder if the 3400 is not cut from the same exact sonic cloth as the 2170. The 2170 sounds nothing like this in the highs.  I did demo the Lyngdorf 2400 amp to use with my 2170.  The 2400 has the exact same power as the amp section of the... 
Where are the blind streaming quality tests?
I have done a blind test on Tidal vs the actual cd. I picked and preferred Tidal all three times. The CDs were ripped into my Sound Science music server using DB poweramp. I used the same server to stream Tidal. 
$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
Actually seeing the design and build quality of these cables is quite exciting and educational to me. Not at all depressing. I suppose my filter is set to see things in a more positive light.  
Heavenly match of Vaugn Cabernet and Lyngdorf 2170
Happy for you and your new purchase! Good to know you are starting to get the most out of your Lyngdorf purchase. Enjoy.  
$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
Wow! Impressive build design and execution however. Love to hear if they sound like $10,000 🙂
