| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. For those who have the 2170 / 3400, do you remember about how many hours it takes for break-in?And did you feel the need to re-run Room Perfect after that break-in was done? | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. Agree that the 2170 has a more elegant appearance.That said, I just ordered a 3400. | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. @bullitt5094 - I'm trading in a different component (not a Lyngdorf product) toward the purchase price. Some dealers will do that. | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. This is troubling. I'm about to order the 3400 (waiting for a final trade-in value toward it) and this is the first I've heard about reliability issues with Lyngdorf. Also didn't know there was no US repair options.I once owned another Danish in... | |
| Suggestion on XLR Cables Another vote for Cerious GE. Their XLRs edged out another brand that was priced much higher.FWIW I started with Mogami Gold XLRs. They are good, but I was able to do better. Again, my system, room, & ears. | |
| Benchmark AHB2 power amp impressions? I bought the cables. They are so reasonably priced I thought it was worth a try.The Speakon connector is very easy to use; trying to fit my other cables' spades into those insulated posts with downward-pointing entrance slots is a pain. The back... | |
| Audience Au24 SX Speaker Cable Impressions, VS? The Mikros seem to be neutral and get out of the way. Their fragile build is something to consider though. They are definitely on the far end of the "minimalist" cable school of thought.The SX XLRs were good, but not a big enough improvement ove... | |
| Audience Au24 SX Speaker Cable Impressions, VS? david_ten - Thanks for the impressions and suggestion. So many cables to try out... I have auditioned several but it can be a little overwhelming. I'm currently using Omega Mikro Planars for the speakers.I did test a loaner pair (Cable Co.) of t... | |
| Audience Au24 SX Speaker Cable Impressions, VS? Before the SX was released, I tried the Au24 SE speaker cables, loaned from the Cable Co.Based on your experience, I guess I didn't have enough hours on them, but I had to strain to hear much difference between them and my Mapleshade Double Helix.... | |
| Anyone with Benchmark ABH2? I would say neutral and accurate. I don't consider it sterile, but everyone hears things differently. I tend to value neutrality… I want to hear what is in the recording. I wouldn't call it warm or lush.The measurements point toward neutrality a... | |
| Anyone with Benchmark ABH2? I've had one since late June of this year and am very pleased with it.Small size; doesn't get too hot; really low noise floor; fast and detailed.They know what they're doing with that 30-day trial offer. Bet they get very few people who try it an... | |
| Hot off the press: Yggdrasil review I have one of the first batch that shipped; got my order in about 30 minutes after the Yggdrasil ordering on Schiit's site went live.Fresh out of the box, I was hearing subtle things on familiar music that I hadn't noticed before. I tend to value ... | |
| Which BNC-BNC coaxial Blackcat Silverstar 75 was an improvement over Blue Jeans cable in my system. | |
| HYPEX,PASCAL OR ABLETEC Another integrated amp to consider is the Gato Audio DIA, which uses the Pascal technology. Gato is based in Denmark. The lower powered model, the DIA-250 is about half the cost of the Rowland. I'm breaking in a 250 currently, but so far am liking... |
