Just installed 3 runs of Supra CAT8 in place of Terra CAT7. The music is noticeably more alive with no loss of body and soul. I almost never hear an undeniable improvement with cable changes. Not a component level upgrade improvement for sure; non... 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.

Is it possible to not see all the albums / CDs for sale?
Agreed!!!!

Both are nice products. I have owned both.The SP-2b comes up for sale occasionally in the $400 - 500 range. Well worth considering.
