| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? I know I’m late, but has anyone compared the PD Creative psu to the Pardo psu on the Node N130? PD currently doesn’t have a power supply for the US and suggested I get a S Booster, so Pardo would be the easiest to get, but… Thanks | |
| Streamer Upgrade @baylinor I have the new node and it’s going to a Pontus ll DAC. I was looking at getting the PD Creative power board and the S Booster power supply. Together, they will double the cost of the Node N130, so if the benefit outweighs the cost, I w... | |
| Did you notice.... I’ve only been streaming a couple months now and I have found a few streaming tracks that sound better than the CD, but I’m mostly listening to music I don’t already have. I’ve been having a blast listening to tunes/albums that others have recomm... | |
| Does anyone on this Forum have any experience with Audio research ref 610t monoblocks @agolde1110 Buy them, you won’t be sorry. I have a friend who has a pair, so I’ve listened to them several times and I drool each time. Just remember, they do put off a lot of heat. I’ve teased my friend that we could do Sunday breakfast on the... | |
| Streamer Upgrade @willg1985 I just bought the new Node and was looking at doing the power supply upgrade. How big of a difference was there when you did yours and do you think it was worth the money? Thanks. | |
| What are songs where people or instruments sound closer to you? @larryi I just listened to it twice and when the ladies start their Do Do’s, on the right and then on the left and louder then back to the right and louder still, really does give the impression of them coming toward you. | |

| What are songs where people or instruments sound closer to you? @secret-vinyl I do have a very old very worn, copy of Transformer. I’m probably going to have to listen to the CD or stream instead. Thanks. | |
| What are songs where people or instruments sound closer to you? @jrosemd It’s funny, like probably everyone else, I have Pet Sounds, but I must admit, I’ve never heard Sunflower. Thanks, I’ll check it out. JD | |

| Whats playing on your system today? @ozzy Until the last few years, all I listened to 60’s - 70’s rock with a bit of jazz thrown in from time to time. Now it’s the exact opposite. Although I do listen to new music from the likes of Paramore, Saint Vincent, The War On Drugs and… | |

| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... @jwei Currently I’m on Amazon music and unfortunately Taking a chance on love isn’t on it. That’s why I was asking, because I couldn’t find it. Just looked again.☹️ My loss. | |
| Opinions before purchasing I’m using the Denon 1 step below yours with a set of floor standers and no sub. I put one in for a while and it sounded amazing on movies, but I really didn’t have the room for it, so it went back to my 2 channel setup. All the Best. JD | |
| Two amps into one pair of speakers Just because an amp is turned off, doesn’t mean it’s not still putting out some form of current, even if it’s only a few seconds or a few minutes. I’m not saying it’s definitely an accident waiting to happen, but why take a chance?? |
