What cables are connecting your Node 2?
I have had great success in improving sound quality by using top notch interconnects and power cable on all of my Bluesound devices. I also installed brass cone feet under the unit, which stands on a granite tile.
A lot of fuss for such an affordable unit you ask?
- Yep, but it paid off and I have stopped looking for other devices.
Am I bothered that my cables cost more than the Node 2?
- not really, ALL components require great cables, so I simply saved a bundle by buying a Node 2 in place of upgrading to a more expensive unit
Allowing any component to perform to it’s best abilities just makes sense to me. The Node 2 is one of those components that improves to levels that far exceeds its modest price tag - it punches way above it’s class!
I stream mainly from my NAS drive and play tracks from MP3 up to 24-192 resolution.
As you can see I’m in the "cables DO make a difference" camp.
- that "revelation" did not come over night
- I’ve tried different cables of one different types over the last 12 years
- more recently I have completed over three years of very detailed cables and connector auditions/evaluations on my modest system
- I have also developed my own DIY cables which are exceptional
- My system now performs to levels I never expected it to achieve
- Like many. I thought component upgrades were the route to achieve improved sound quality
- I’ve since learned that even the most modest of components can achieve great sound if treated to great cables
- Now, I view my cables just as important to my system as any other component
What can i say - I’m just "a cable guy"
Hope you find your path - Steve
