Amplifiers divide opinions. There's the valve/sold-state debate, the passive/active problem, the analogue/digital divide, and the direct signal path/flexibility tussle. And all of that's before we get anywhere near the 'two-channel or multichannel' thing, and the whole problem of high-end AV receivers and how they shape up against 'purist' designs. The £4995 TDAI-3400 from Denmark's Lyngdorf Audio is firmly in the 'not a simple piece of kit' camp, and is available in matt black with gloss detailing. It's described as an 'Integrated Amplifier and Audio Processor', and comes with not only a reasonably comprehensive complement of bells, but enough whistles to equip an entire restored steam railway.
