| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. I had the Lyngdorf 2170 last year for a few months, and loved it for all/everything digital.I ended up moving on though, because vinyl playback sounded too analytical. I had the high-end analog module installed, and used the balanced inputs with ... | |
| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? @uberwaltzNo phono option, you are correct.At the time I had the Lyngdorf, I was using a Parasound Halo JC3 Jr. Phono stage. The sound was accurate and detailed, but too clinical for my liking when playing records. | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) @gochurchgoIn my system - clean, powerful, detailed, slightly warm. The sound will stay true to whatever source you feed it. | |
| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? @uberwaltzI had the Lyngdorf last year for a few months. My model had all the modules included. I absolutely could not use it without Room Perfect enabled, like you've said. I became quite suspicious that the SQ was degraded on purpose, just to... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) @uberwaltzI realized about an hour after my previous post, that I had the facts incorrect. Thank you for clarifying. | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) @gochurchgoAre you using a sub w/ your Focals? I've also had the Parasound Halo Integrated, which is a great all-in-one, and it includes bass management.I used the Parasound with KEF LS50s and two small REL subs. Awesome sound! | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) @gochurchgoI would seriously look at the Hegel H160 then. By no means is its’ DAC a slouch, I just prefer the PS Audio. For Apple Music, the Hegel will get the job done, and sound great. If you're able to connect an ethernet cable to the Hegel, y... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) @gochurchgoI have similar music tastes, and two amps that I have owned & loved were the Hegel H160 and the PS Audio Stellar Gain/S300 combo. Not tubes of course, but both are on the warm side of neutral, very dynamic, great bass, and plenty o... | |
| Good Direct Drives @bur70n Congratulations on the new table. I always hear great things about Rega. I was going to go for the RP8, before I settled on the 1210GR. | |
| Good Direct Drives I went from a KAB modded SL-1200MK2 to the SL1210GR. The improvement in sound quality of the GR was noticeable immediately. If you can make $1700 work, you will be completely amazed and satisfied. | |
| Newbie with some turntable, cable, pre-amp, and speaker questions. @jomat77I suggest you take a look at an iFi iPhono2, there is a used one here on Agon right now. Whether you use your current TT, or get a new one, the iFi will make it sound great. MM & MC capable. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis8fdg1-... | |
| MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote! Yes, 100%. For me, it’s a no brainer. In my system, MQA sounds great, so I will continue to play it, and continue to enjoy the hell out of it.If you have a subscription to Tidal, like a lot of us Agoner do..it is simply a gift. Temporary, maybe? I... | |
| If your system were a car! Toyota Corolla, power windows. | |
| Ortofon 2M Red and Denon 110 Is there a big difference in sound quality?? I used to have a Pro-Ject Debut with a 2M Red and replaced it with the Denon DL-110. Huge improvement. Price/performance of the Denon is superb.Lot's of other choices though as @chakster mentioned.Good luck. | |
