Took a while, but the power supply for the Blusound Node2i and its interconnecting cables burnt in by now.
The combination appears to have matured and the results are highly musical.

in your recording studio!
Remember the sound of the pure-analog mega-consoles ? It’s back !
Most of today’s computer interface devices are equipped with a low-cost switch-mode power supply (SMPS). While these power come with all the right credentials, they typically deliver residual switching noise via DC and ground lines. This noise inter-modulates with both digital signals, as well as audio-band harmonies, resulting in a harsh sound that is a far cry from the original recording.
We offer alternative power supplies that are designed and built the old-fashioned way, featuring oversized toroid transformers, high quality capacitors and discrete components (no IC chips!) a result of nearly 30 years of accumulated experience of modding and building high-end audio equipment.
Our power supplies have been tested successfully with the following products:
- UAD Apollo Twin x;
- RME ADI-2 Pro;
- Antelope Zodiac / Amari
- Lynx Hilo
- Merging Anubis/ Hapi
- And many others…
"With the MiniTeddy power supply I have experienced a lower noise floor with blacker backgrounds and faster transients during recording and playback. I use my Merging Anubis sound card frequently to record low output antique ribbon microphones from RCA and Electro Voice. I have experienced several benefits including a lower noise floor and better high frequency smoothness."

What our customers tell us
The DualTeddyCap has been powered on for about six days now and I am delighted with the improvements it has bought to my elderly Naim system. It replaces two olive Hicaps powering a NAC82 preamp. Bass is more controlled and the sound generally sweeter all round. Detail is improved and some albums I thought I knew well are revealing previously hidden secrets.
I couldn't be more pleased.
Just wanted to let you know that I am really happy with the supply. It increased sound quality by a margin, that I did not expect possible for a power supply on a SonicTransporter.
I ordered a 2nd unit for my EtherRegen switch!
thank you very much for the XPS.
The improvement in sound with the Naim DAC is as you describe it.
It's not that surprising to me!
the power supply arrived well and after one day sound is well too.
One supply is for SotM SMS 200 and SotM USB reclocker and the new one now for SotM network switch and Jcat Femto network card.
Big improvment!
Buying a TeddyCap was one of my best decisions in 2020.
The TeddyCap is the perfect match for my record player, Phonosophie No 3.
The sound really is „wunderbar“.
I’m very happy to listen to all my records again.
A big thumbs up for Yair helping me to find the best Power Supply!
OK all done. A bit fiddly but otherwise straightforward!
24hrs in and for my ears a significant lift in sound quality, especially bass clarity, listening to the recent Ron Carter release-live from Stockholm streamed from Qbuz, this is awesome!
It really is quite extraordinary the quality of the music now coming through.
I'm having a great time!
I just received my DualTeddyCap and I put it immediately in service and I felt immediately the improvement vs my HiCapDR, especially the stage is more stable, the 282 seems more precise, medium has more weight and the somehow overinflated bass is gone to be just perfect.
Thank you so much!
this mine to thank you very much for your work.
I'm fully appreciating the improvement of the phono section of my hi-fi with your phono stage. I had a valve preamplifier ( a 90's glorious beard ca 506 ) and it was outclassed by this new entry and, by reading your manual, the best is yet to come within the next weeks of use.
The adjustment for the "my sonic lab hyper eminent" mc cartridge is great.
What else can I say ? all other components of this transaction ( package, fast delivery ) were perfect.
I wish all the best for your company, you deserve it...
Grazie
Massimo

Hi, is this upgrade PSU something that is external to Node Icon or Node Icon has to be opened up and its power supply changed out to yours?
