Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.


Hello All,
I’m coming up on 40 yrs in this hobby,and or obsession of ours,and I started with a pair of Khorns and Macintosh at the age of 12 and Offcourse owned a ton of different gear over the yrs.
I bought a 2170 a little more than 6 months ago and I enjoyed it so much that I quickly realized I don’t really need anything else,solid state,tubes,or even dac’s anymore.I could step off that silly merry go round of amplification and just enjoy music.I was able to utilize the extra money and time and put together a really great sounding network audio system that rivaled the best in analog that I have ever had,I was mainly a analog guy all of these yrs but finally gave it up,I even sold my longtime record collection of 3k records which included many Hot Stampers that I purchased and also several that I found on my own.

So who Luv’s the 2170 and is maybe also thinking about the new 3400.

Happy Listening,
Kenny.

Lyngdorf lists the 3400 as Roon Ready and Spotify Connect are part of it's streaming services.
@kenscott, the show report about using the 2170 as pre/dac I think used the digital out from the 2170 and let the active speakers do dac/power, just conjecture.

@jcarcopo, If it's OK to ask, was the 3400 much more expensive than the 2170? What optional boards did you get?
Both Lyngdorf units have digital crossovers built in, the 2400 is shown in the stack as an example of bi-amping perhaps.
@jcarcopo, Great news, and congratulations on the first 3400 in the field! Keep us informed on how you feel about it.

@uberwaltz, You are correct about the extra features, I do not read in the Lyngdorf lit anything about newer/revised/better design or sonic performance.
I think with CD use dwindling, people will take a USB drive with music on it to a friend's house to play, so a front port makes good sense.

Bill is right, the portion of the circuit devoted to handling digital inputs needs to be utilized to get burned in, so please try it that way for a couple weeks.
mac48025, On Agon here, lancelock has tried many amps, LTA and SS, and has ended up with his final choice of the new LTA Preamp and LTA Ultralinear amp. Look him up and message him ( Lance).
