Add some Vitamin Teddy to your audio setup

. The Teddy Pardo upgrade has clearly improved the Icon's transparency, audibility, and dynamics. Musicians are even more clearly identifiable, and the soundstage is wider. This also applies to the depth. The bass also improves noticeably. Yello's "Oh Yeah" hits you right in the gut with the Teddy Pardo. Overall, the Bluesound Icon takes a huge leap forward with the upgrade and suddenly plays in a much higher league. The investment in the Teddy Pardo power supply is worth it twice and three times over. That's how it was with my Naim Supernait. Thanks, Teddy Pardo, that's great fun!

ifferent one. On the bright side, the people at Teddy Pardo told me I only needed a basic power cord.

m also in the tweaking stage having upgraded all the power cords, interconnects and any power source that was available for different components. I have an external harddrive connected to the Node 2I with almost a TB of ripped CDs in the FLAC format. I also listen via bluetooth via the Node 2I high res music from my Astell and Kern SE-100 DAP and Amazon and Apple music through the Node 2II. Therefore since I wasn't using the internal DAC I wasn't sure how much and if the Teddy Mini and the 7v conversion would have an audible difference. To my amazement as soon as I hit play the first thing I noticed immediately was the depth, tightness and increase in bass. Within minutes I noticed the difference in the sound stage. I fought the urge to make any adjustments ( tone control and speaker placement). I let it play for a few hours with out listening knowing it needed to ti settle in. I waited four days and I estimate15-29 hours of listening before writing thus review. First if you were wondering if using the Bluesound Node 2II as a transport only and adding the Teddy Pardo kit would make a difference. Yes, 100%. To me the increase more than justifies the cost in my system. The bass is tighter, voices, claps, finger snaps sound more realistic. Brass and accountability c instruments have more meat on the bone. The sound stage widened noticibly. You will enjoy listening to your music at all volumes. In fact I Find myself listening at lower volumes because before I would turn the volume up to hear certain instruments. Now I can hear those instruments at much lower volumes. This was more than a tweak in my system it pushed my same speakers to a new level. I highly recommend this purchase if you own the Node 2II but want greater sound. If you were like me and didn't think a streamer could make a difference you will love this kit. It makes a big difference.

t model via automated email. I received the order in reasonable time in consideration of the middle east war. When I received the ordered item it was not the exact item I ordered but was, what seemed to me, an upgraded item that would work with my amplifier. However, I wasn't sure that it was working properly and I requested a replacement which was quickly done without argument. Received the correct, originally ordered item and it seems to work better and quickly.

s good and I have another TP Power supply on an RME ADI-2 DAC FS and the improvement is almost as big, and without any noise Operating. Even Teddy Pardo's USB cable is a big plus. Other than that, Teddy Pardo's service and efficiency are top notch.

ore than worth the price. The main sonic improvement in my audio system was a lower noise floor which thereby allowed more micro details in the recordings to be revealed. The device itself is very well engineered and constructed and is, without question, suited for use in high end audio systems.
