Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
@ jcarcopo I can play my Lansche 4.1 speaker loud enough headroom with both 2170 and 48watt SET.My speaker is 99dbw spec(but I guess real efficiency is around 95db) and its two 10 inch woofer driven by  internal 500W  amplifiers.The volume of 21... 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
Update on 2170.For some music, I prefer the sound of 2170 to LM SET 508.So I now take turns of amplifiers  depending on music2170 seems to be more transparent with little bit more details.LM 508 has more warmth and body.2170 seems to be sensitive ...

After being back to US, I started comparing between Silverstar Mk2 and Silnote Morphius cables.Silverstar is connected from BNC of Jay’s CDT MK2 to RCA input of Lyngdorf 2170 and Silnote is connected from RCA output of Jay’s to another RCA input o...

High Efficiency Open Baffle Line Source Loudspeaker System
It will be nice if some member living near Charlotte, NC audition this speaker to confirm efficiency and sound quality of sound.Mike of Arionaudio claims that it can drive tower section with 2 or 3 watts 2A3 tube amplifier with enough sound in big... 
High Efficiency Open Baffle Line Source Loudspeaker System
 Custom neodymium magnets weighing just under one pound are used for each driver.That is the claim for high efficiency and I want to confirm whether it is true.But if so, it is a really nice system for SET amplifier. 
Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?
If they use expensive parts like audiophile fuse, then the final cost to consumer will be at least 5 times of it.Thus it does not make sense.

I got contact with Mike of Aaron Audio.They have showroom in North Carolina, US.Before going there, I also inquired about the amplifiers they use.I am more interested in whether planar and bass module do seamless integration or not.Of course I als...

Black Cat Silverstar BNC to BNC
After I am back to US, I will compare between Silverstar and Silnote digital cables.If Silverstar is much better, then I may also try out Digi75.Cable is dependent on system and personal taste.So you will never know until you try. 
How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?
@ erik_squires I agree with Erik.If you emphasize focus and imaging too much, then you may lose top end extension or mid range roundness.Not all recordings have 3 D imaging.I found some CD like "Amused to Death" has holographic imaging.
