Hi everyone
I'm thinking of buying a Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 amplifier and wanted to hear owners' descriptions of the kind of sound this amplifier produces, especially compared to previous amplifiers you may have had.
Thanks for your replies in advance.
Hi folks,
...before I have purchased TDAI 2170, I have had Primare I30 amplifier (still one of the best integrated amps in its price range in my opinion). Primare is known for very clean, uncolored sound, excellent dynamics and timing, good imaging.
Basically, all those sound attributes you can find on Lyngdorf TDAI as well, but there is lot more under the hood. There is RoomPerfect, which in my case actually did perfect job in very problematic listening room (square floor plan). Another notable attribute is pitch dark silent background. You have to hear it on your own gear to realize how big impact it would have to overall clarity of final sound. Another way how TDAI could even further clarify sound of your audio equipment is bypassing DAC. If your source (CD, streamer) has digital output, go for it.
In my case everything is just better comparing to previous amp. Excellent dynamics and timing, imaging is superbly layered and focused with precision, neutral tonal balance.
And there is yet another advantage. With TDAI you get first class upgradable digital front end processor/ preamplifier. So you can add some high end power amp anytime, without loss of any benefits of true digital amp (room correction, full digital processing of any possible format).
I can only recommend it.
PS: Before I knew Lyngdorf TDAI, I had a tendency to describe the sound as an analog (good) or digital (bad). Now how can you describe “perfect analog sound” produced by true digital amplifier?
