| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. Yes the 2170 changed my life. I listen to music in my home 12 hours a day. No TV. It never gets too warm, consumes only 20-25 watts of power, is lightweight and attractive, and is not a fussy piece of gear to own. I keep mine on 24/7 for best soun... | |
| Carbon fibre sleeve over existing cabling, incredible ERS does indeed work well if used in the right application. I also had bad experiences with it in my gear, but great results used carefully. | |
| Carbon fibre sleeve over existing cabling, incredible I built a great sounding USB cable and used this stuff with and without ERS tape to compare. I used it over the data wires only. Nice results. I covered the stuff as I would never want a conductive outer wrap on a finished audio cable. | |
| Carbon fibre sleeve over existing cabling, incredible So you cannot think of instances where all this conductive touching could lead to an issue? A touches B which when moved ended up touching C and causing an issue? I will cover mine. I also noticed this stuff can shed a tad. Conductive shedding cou... | |
| Carbon fibre sleeve over existing cabling, incredible I know all this folks. I am saying no way I would put this stuff uncovered behind my audio rack touching other treated cords and gear etc. Cover it up folks. I raise my hand on not covering it up with a nice woven non-conductive sleeve. I will cov... | |
| Carbon fibre sleeve over existing cabling, incredible This stuff is conductive. I assume you guys cover this stuff up with a layer of non conductive sleeving. I can’t image leaving it exposed on the exterior of the cables you treat..... | |
| Having a problem when HVAC system turns on and cuts my system off! Well it started up again at 6pm. I will remove the IFi next to see if it stops. | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Ha! Just got my order of the carbon fiber sleeves! | |
| Having a problem when HVAC system turns on and cuts my system off! Thanks all. I did two things that may have cured the issue. - the iFi Micro USB 3 has a grounding switch. Manual says to defeat it and cut the ground. Well, instead I decided to engage the ground switch - I plugged one of my LPS units in a differ... | |
| Having a problem when HVAC system turns on and cuts my system off! @steakster I think you are onto something. Please give me some external ground options. I assume the outlet plate screw won’t qualify? No doubt the issue is linked to the turning on of the HVAC unit as there is a 100% correlation. @almarg The volu... | |
| Having a problem when HVAC system turns on and cuts my system off! The Lyngdorf 2170 is made to specifically use the usb input built into it. It is really not a dac as the signal stays in the digital realm right up to the point it hits the output to the speakers. That is not the issue. Also, I have a IFi Micro US... | |
| Having a problem when HVAC system turns on and cuts my system off! Again it happens perhaps 5 times a day, but the HVAC unit turns on far more often than that so this issue is sporadic at best. Seems to be happening more however. | |
| Speakers least affected by room acoustics Yes all good points made. The Lyngdorf 2170 does wonders in my room with high ceilings. It does in fact help! | |
| Speakers least affected by room acoustics I own the Lyngdorf 2170 and have been a vocal advocate of this gem. Yes it is the ideal system for your situation. It is amazing amp, preamp, dac, and SOTA room correction system all in one attractive case. It will assure your speakers sound as in... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses It is amazing how much fuses degrade sound. Goodness this is a statement of fact based on my experience. No fuse sounds best. I bypass them in my gear. High quality circuit breakers as an on/off are a far better option sonically. It stands to re... |
