Finally got my Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 amplifier and set it up today.. Out of the box, the sound is different from my Luxman but after room correction, the sound is crystal clear, transparent with fabulous control over the bass which has forever been a problem in my room. My initial impressions are of a slightly digital sound (not warm as Luxman) but I am sure I will get used to it as I have got immense clarity in the tradeoff with zero boominess....
It's just the first couple of hours and I am hoping the sound settles after 20-30 hours.. Another advantage is that I have pushed my speakers against the back wall as you can see in the pictures which increases my room size and my listening position is in the corner..Being in the corner does not give me any soundstage or imaging but the clarity is outstanding. I will be playing around with the speaker positions and listening position (want to see the effect of the room correction with the speakers and chair in a perfect triangle) and see the differences before settling down.... I also want to check if the Chord 2Qute fed into the Lyngdorf improves the clarity further or if the Lyngdorf inbuilt DAC is good enough... Will also try and see if by adding bass traps in the 2 corners behind the speakers makes any difference as that is the only room treatment I can do in this room...
The power supply in the amplifier is linear instead of a switch mode which saved me extra money as I had been contemplating one.. It takes voltage from 100-240 and gives the amp the correct voltage it needs and therefore makes a stabilizer redundant (I still have a Voltage Stabilizer at the mains)..The setup and room correction is a breeze and I can even connect my trusted NAD 521 CDP as well to the Lyngdorf which I was thinking of selling earlier. I will now keep it along with my CDs...
All in all , a superb product for people like me who cannot do much room treatment and are lazy...
The Luxman would have to go now and I will check if the 2Qute makes any difference or not to the sound fed into the Lyngdorf...If anyone wants to join in the experiments, you are more than welcome....
