Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it?
@painter24  Thank you for the follow up.  I am also using an external DAC with my 2i.  I know there has been some discussion regarding if the power supply upgrade is just as effective if using an external versus the built in DAC but never saw any... 
Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it?
@painter24  It'll be interesting to hear about your experience installing the PD and your opinion regarding the improvements it brings. I am going to order one, did you buy it directly though the Polish PD website or is there a US distributer? ... 
Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it?
@curiousjim  PD currently doesn’t have a power supply for the US I was planning on upgrading my node 2i using the PD Creative "Bluesound Node 2 & 2i upgrade kit – super low noise PSU + interface".  Did PD Creative tell you that the PSU abo... 
Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West?
@soix  @drbay You’ve got a really nice system, but I think the Node is a significant bottleneck to better performance.  Many people here have experienced very significant improvements moving up the chain and I think it would be a good idea to at... 
How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room?
I wish you had one or two of the Stereophile Test CDs where you could play the frequency sweeps.  They are expertly crafted and you would expect identical everything from both channels other than from room impacts.   Sounds like you are pretty m... 
B.S. Node 2i brick (yet another one)
@roxy54 I agree with you, and according to other members their reliability is terrible, but on the other hand, $600.00 doesn’t buy much these days in high end audio. I have been using a Node 2i for a few years now and it has worked flawlessly... 
How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room?
Does your integrated have the ability to play in mono to verity your findings, i.e., that the difference in the left and right speaker sound is from differences in the source material left versus right stereo track recording?  
SkyfiAudio
+1 @crustycoot  Although they do have high prices I agree that the video was impressive and imparted a level of integrity verses buying off the streets, so to speak.    
What the ship just happened?
@fuzztone Buying new would have prevented. I bet there are other audio sites where your level of humor would be appreciated.     
Suggestions for a digital cable.
@fthompson251  Would this one be a good one? Of course, like everything, you wonder if it is so good why is it for sale? I have used the Cullen and Signal Cable SPDIF cables and although it is the only Signal Cable I have used really think it... 
Corpse Cable - Opinions Please
They killed my canare.

@ozzy62  Point is that people are intent on repeating rather monotonously that streamers costing 300% more than the Bluesound sound better as if it is a revelation. All just because the BluOS app spanks theirs.  Ha  
Down sizing
I have no idea how it sounds, but in for a penny in for a pound (meaning it's a full integrated). Technics SU-G700M2 Grand Class Integrated amplifier with DAC and MM/MC phono input.  $2,699.99 I assume that phono input means it has a built in ph... 
In-Store (Best Buy) KEF R3 vs B&W 705 S2 Comparison
@analogj I have never been to Fidelis Audio in Nashua, NH but I love looking at their website.  They sell many, many top brands and they have a pre-owned section where gear comes and goes also.  Only about an hour from Salem, MA. NH does not hav... 
In-Store (Best Buy) KEF R3 vs B&W 705 S2 Comparison
The speakers in the link above do appear to be a screaming bargain. Unfortunately, they are for pick up only in Irvine, CA, where I once lived. The OP currently lists his address as Salem, MA, much closer to where I live now.
