Should You Leave An External Power Supply On 24-7?


I had always left my Bluesound Node on 24/7. I have recently installed a Teddy Pardo external linear power supply on the Bluesound Node. Is it wise to turn off the power supply every night when I shut the system down, or should it be left on 24/7?

Your thoughts please.

I just got a response from the Teddy Pardo company saying that it should be left on all the time because it does not use very much power and that the unit does not get warm.

..ditto what @parker65310 said ..."sound improvements from the Teddy Pardo…I found the sound stage imaging/separation got even better (wider and deeper), along with bass response and overall delicateness of the notes, if you will. The background noise floor always sounded super quiet, but I suspect it may have dropped even further (dynamics seem to be sharper in a good way). The very recent BluOS support for FLAC files shot it up even further."

I have an Audio Research Reference DAC.  I primarily listen to instrumental jazz.

I primarily listen to Qobuz. Before the Teddy Pardo upgrade, Pandora sounded okay, now Pandora sounds AMAZING!

I suggest getting the Teddy Pardo upgrade...it will be money well spent for the leap in performance upgrade you’ll receive.
