| Tekton Double Impacts A couple of things on the Lyngdorf unit that really make a big, if not a huge difference in musicality. - run RP right away and be sure to have least 95-97% of the room read and understood by RP. Follow the mic placement instructions carefully. -... | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 Good food for you! You are right that you need to follow the instructions and shoot for at least a 97% room reading before stopping. The only way your room will be correctly understood and seen is my following those various mic placements in the i... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA The 16 gauge Duelund has all the detail of the 20 gauge, but a quick comparison to the 20 gauge can make one think the 20 ga is more detailed. Its’s just that the 16ga is more complete with improved weight and body. Listen to both over a two week ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts The 2170 has a separate high quality analog input module that can be purchased...I believe. I don’t have it on mine. @waltersalas Those new speakers are very, very impressive looking to me in terms of the drivers and design. My hunch is they are ... | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 Make sure you are using the correct xlr jack on the back of the unit. Is the signal loud enough to be picked up by the mic? If the mic is bad the dealer will contact Lyngdorf and they will overnight one. | |
| Not enough power what does it sound like? +1 @shadorne Muisc always sounds louder with an underpowered amp. Folks are sometimes tricked into thinking their underpowered SET tube amp has enough juice to drive their 88-92 dB speakers because it plays them loud. Well it may be a good match o... | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 When I used my Lyngdorf with no room correction it sounded fine and good in a conventional sort of way. A good music maker, but when I ran RP I was smiling big. Next to my former TRL Dude preamp I have stuck with the Lyngdorf for a relatively lon... | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 The unit sounds best when not using an external dac, most of the time, because there is no need for the added cables, complexity and longer signal paths. The 3400 really shines when used to take advantage of its design, short signal paths and inhe... | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 You have not heard it yet. Break in is a must and that will take some 200-300 hours. At least 100 hours before she blooms and opens up. - run Room Perfect....big improvement and what is so special about that piece. - don’t turn the unit off. Leave... | |
| "New" Western Electric wire Hi @pdreher My ads are up here on Audiogon. Look under my username or search Acoustic BBQ. I use Duelund wire throughout my rig. I use it in my upgraded crossovers, integrated amp, USB cables etc... Love it! I don’t need ICs in my rig however. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Ok Uber go for 10 mats then! I also think the small ones could be interesting with unique placement options such as crossovers and power strips. | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? Cables are system and sound preference dependent. The builder of Clear Day cables is a great guy, really great guy. Owned several of his cables over the years. Just too thin sounding and a tad bright for me. This is based on my gear and my prefere... | |
| "New" Western Electric wire Good to know you can buy it by the foot. It is very good wire. The Duelund is better, but it costs a little more. | |
| "New" Western Electric wire The newer Duelund stranded copper tinned and placed in oil impregnated cotton is better sounding. The WE wire is still covered in a layer of synthetic material (PVC) before the cloth. This closes in the sound more than the more lively and open Due... | |
| Best Speaker cable in the $400.00-$500.00 range for 2 meters @lak is spot on about the Duelund. I can make you a set with the 12 gauge Duelund for your budget and you simply cannot do better. |
