@mwh777 I also have a BS Node (N130). The LHY LPS improvement was not subtle. I'm an "everything matters to a point" guy, so skeptical about spending money on LPS PCs - after all the LPS is supposed to provide clean, linear power right? Having said that, I can test this with a broken in PC that I already own, and I will start with the LHY LPS later today and report back. |
@mwh777 Again, keeping an open mind can lead to sonic benefits. I compared the supplied cable with a well broken in Raven Audio Sonequil PC. I used Norah Jones Come Away With Me and Chick Corea Trilogy 2 as test material. The vocals on on Don't Know Why, when she hits those powerful high notes, were much smoother - no doubt this means less distortion. I listened to 6 other tracks on both albums and overall better clarity. Best free tweak ever! Happy I asked the question and thanks all for the feedback.

@williewonka The LHY LPS for the NODE N130 was the only component still using a stock/cheap PC. I have several Zavfino products:

@williewonka Checked out your website - tons of info and some really nice photography. |
@williewonka Ha! About the LHY LPS: Yes, SQ improvement was not subtle. The upgrade requires replacing the internal powerboard as well as adding an outboard LPS so there is no need for adapters. I replaced the cheap PC to the LPS with a good quality PC I had on hand and that helped too which surprised me. |
