TeddyPardo Bluesound Node Icon Upgrade Kit

This is a preorder which will be filled within 6-8 weeks of ordering, as we are seeing our initial shipment from Teddy Pardo late November to mid December.

Hardcore Hi-Fi is the exclusive US assembler and distributor for Teddy Pardo.

Why Teddy? 

The power supply is the heartbeat of every single piece of electronic equipment. If the power supply is substandard, everything that relies on it will be hampered, unable to perform at the highest abilities of its design.

While a switch mode power supply will certainly provide power to a unit very inexpensively, it does so at the cost of noise, high electro magnetic interference , slow transient response and cheap, failure prone components that cause downtime and frustration.

Teddy Pardo solves that problem with linear, transformer based external power supplies, utilizing discrete voltage regulation and the highest quality components. The line of Teddy Pardo devices not only increases the lifespan of any unit it is used with, but the more stable and precise voltage outputs guarantee more clarity, lower noise floor and a finer 3D audio image.

The Bluesound Node Icon Upgrade Kit replaces the internal switch-mode power-supply, with Teddy Pardo Audio high performance external power supply. This upgrade kit can be installed in 10 minutes, without requiring any special tools or special skills like soldering, making it suitable for non-technical users. If you wish, Hardcore Hi-Fi is happy to perform the upgrade with a 3 day burn in at no additional charge to the customer.

The result is a big step forward in the sound quality of the Node Icon streamer, bringing it very close to the level of network streamers costing twice as much.

Our new MiniTeddy Special Edition is a single-outlet power supply in a compact-sized, all-aluminum chassis. The Special Edition circuitry is based on the new Teddinator voltage regulator. The Teddynator is a fully discrete design, based entirely on ultra low noise JFET transistors with no IC chips. It is a result of countless hours of development, testing and listening. With the new regulator and the new circuit around it, we were able to achieve impressive new levels of low noise, low output impedance and fast response time, resulting in a highly involving sound, perfectly timed and with no apparent phasing errors, hence our new slogan : The Art of Silence.
 

Sound

The new MiniTeddy SE delivers a highly involving sound, with perfectly timed notes, huge soundstage with pinpoint imaging.

Performance

The new MiniTeddy SE delivers unprecedented performance levels, with noise level in excess of 1uV under load, and output impedance around 0.1 Ohms.

Interconnects

The MiniTeddy power supply is equipped with a high quality multistrand, twisted pair copper interconnect. It has a 2-pin female plug for the power supply end and a barrel plug on the other end.
