| 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. | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. 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 🙂 | |
| Hook-up Wire: Duelund DCA16GA vs Neotech STDCT-16 vs Cardas 15.5 AWG I agree that the 16 gauge is more full bodied than the 20 gauge and I only use the 16 gauge in my ICs. Not sure I would call the 20 gauge in cotton thin sounding however? I simply find synthetic coverings and shielding do darken or dull the sound... | |
| What I miss about vintage gear You can build your own faux amplier box with pretty meters and tubes! It is just for aesthetics and would look just like you want. Lots of nice meters out there. May be a product line extension idea ✌️ | |
| Hook-up Wire: Duelund DCA16GA vs Neotech STDCT-16 vs Cardas 15.5 AWG I was only speaking of the 12 gauge and my experience. Sorry I was not clearer. I assume the same differences will apply to the 20 gauge, but I did not test. | |
| Hook-up Wire: Duelund DCA16GA vs Neotech STDCT-16 vs Cardas 15.5 AWG It is for power cords. I built some power cords and they are breaking in. I will report back. This wire can be used speaker cable, however compared to the cotton 12ga it will not sound as open, real, and lively due to the synthetic covering. | |
| Caps and Tubes Lots of opinions. Ha! @atmasphere is right as usual in that it is best to replace those old electrolytic caps as a prudent preventive maintenance step. They are old and certainly have started to dry out with time. Those coupling caps you mentione... |
