Continuing my clearout of surplus equipment, I am (somewhat reluctantly) selling my Lyngdorf TDA-2200 integrated amplifier. I've owned it from new, for nearly 10 years, and only now has it been supplanted by a Hegel H160. Over the years it has seen off some well-regarded amplifiers, including a Leben CS600.

Forget preconceptions of digital being cool or unemotional - the TDA-2200 is sweet. lyrical, powerful and utterly unshakable when it comes to difficult loads, like the Quad 57s for which it could have been specifically designed, so good is the combined performance. It does not hum, hiss or do anything but play music - very well.

My TDA-2200 is fitted with the optional 24bit 96kHz Analogue to Digital Input Card, which gives a range of line level RCA and balanced analogue input options. The speaker binding posts have been replaced by me with posh WBT NextGens, after one of the originals broke.

It does have onboard DSP facilities, but Lyngdorf have long since stopped supporting the PC program, which will run on an old Windows 98 platform and early XP, but nothing later. I actually prefer to use it with DSP bypassed, which is easily selected via the remote control.

It has been well-used and subject to a number of moves, so it does have a few marks, but nothing drastic or ugly. It has the nice silver Lyngdorf multifunction remote control and comes in its original double packaging boxes.

I would like £550 for it, including delivery within the UK.

Gosh Hugo I never thought you'd sell this ... heard it to great effect some time ago before you relocated.

Tis indeed as you describe it - lyrical, musical, but packing quite a punch when it needs to. I had the power-only various of this and it made my Tannoys sing.

BTW there are plenty of WinXP emulators around, including for Mac which would run the software quite happily.

This is up for sale again.

To be absolutely clear about this amp's condition, I have just realised that some time ago I had removed the mains input filter network, since this substantially improved sound quality. I am now re-instating the filter components, using original specification X/Y class capacitors. Below is a photo of the mains input PCB, showing of the part of the power PCB where the filter components sit. You can see a little toroidal dual inductor already in place - there are spaces for 4 small X/Y RFI capacitors around it where the new capacitors will go in when I have received them. This is the only modification that has ever been done to the amp, except for replacing the speaker binding posts. It was serviced by Lyngdorf in Denmark in Oct 2014 (I thought it was earlier this year when writing the original listing above, but I was mistaken).

Here's a shot of the insides. The push-on spade connectors on the back of the binding posts are original, so I didn't even have to do any soldering to fit the expensive WBT NextGen binding posts.
