| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? @curiousjim i bought this board and PSU bundle from PD Creative : https://pd-cf.com/produkt/bluesound-node-2021-gen-3-upgrade-super-low-noise-kit/ | |
| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? @jetter I made the upgrade back in March, I think it was. Definitely a good few months ago at any rate, so I feel it is fully settled in now. The cost plus import costs/VAT for the board and PSU was a little over £200 - definitely worth the outla... | |
| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? @jetter Hi, I'm in the UK, so bought directly from Poland. As for installation, it is very easy, and full instructions and pictures are included. The most difficult part was putting the damn Node back together 🙄😊. But that may be down to... | |
| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? Hi, Just an update. I never did buy the Teddy Pardo upgrade and LPS; I found it hard to pull the trigger due to the upgrade and LPS costing nearly as much as the Node. In the end I went with the PD Creative option with the Low Noise PS. It w... | |
| NRG The 5 Power Cable I received my. 1CS power cord yesterday. Great packaging; Nawaz uses soft, pouch-like spectacle cases to protect the IEC and wall plugs with the NRG Custom Cables logo on (nice touch👍) Didn't have much time yesterday (or the rest of the week) t... | |
| New Bluesound Node vs Cambridge CXN v2 for High Res Streaming? Just a heads up on the Node's USB output when using the Node as a Roon Endpoint - there are still issues with the implementation of this from Bluesound's side of things. On their Support/Community site, they state the Firmware that opened the US... | |
| NRG The 5 Power Cable Just an update on my previous post; I received confirmation this morning that my cable is ready and shipping ordered. Just worth mentioning, Nawaz, the owner of NRG Custom Cables is a great guy to deal with, super friendly and helpful and will... | |
| Upgrading Bluesound Node power supply with PD Creative (Hans B. reviews on Youtube) @hilde45 Hi, I've upgraded my Node N130 with the PD Creative kit and PSU; it's been about 5 months since I made the upgrade, but yes, even using the digital outs from the Node, the SQ was/is still improved. I guess removing the SMPS PCB from the N... | |
| Has Anyone Compared the DAC On a Bluesound NODE 3rd Gen to a Separate DAC? My experience of the Node N130 mirrors that of @daveinpa when combined with the Ares II. But very much a case of "ymmv", and very subjective. I sold my Ares II and later upgraded the Node with a power supply upgrade kit and external PSU - which m... | |
| NRG The 5 Power Cable @gochurchgo I have the. 1C on order to replace a WW Stratus 7. One of the few boutique cable builders/retailers I've seen outside of the UK that offer UK plugs, so I was curious and took a chance on one of their cables. Estimated shipping is 22nd... | |
| What are "Easy Plugs" Speaker Cable Terminations? @twoleftears Thanks for your thoughts, they really make sense. Only reason I'm curious is Inakustik speaker cables go up in price not I significantly depending on termination from Easy Plugs - > BFA - > Spades being most expensive. ... | |
| What are "Easy Plugs" Speaker Cable Terminations? @twoleftears those are the ones 👍 how would these fit in to a binding post? Any idea? | |
| How did you get started in this hobby My HiFi life didn’t start until my early 20s, but like most it was a compulsive obsession with music, and discovering new music which got me started on the path. As a child my grandmother had one of those sideboard type music centres whereby the ... | |
| Supra Cat 8 Ethernet cable @ram18 ex-Supra Cat8 user here too; no brightness issues; shielded Cat6a from router to ethernet to fibre optic/fibre optic to ethernet converters. - Supra Cat8 to Node. Agree with others, let it play on loop for a good number of hours. | |
| Synergistic Research Purple UEF Duplex - receptacle @stevebohnii Hi, interested to read you’d replaced the fuse in your Atoll IN300; I’m currently settling in a new IN200 Signature, and was wondering, with a view to replacing the IEC inlet fuse, what the rating of the stock fuse was? If that’s the ... |
