Hi all,
I recently moved to a higher end hi-fi system (I wouldn’t say high end but still pretty decent - see below if interested for context).
It’s mainly built for vinyl but I added in a Bluesound Node 2i for day to day listening in place of a CD player or radio. Even after burn-in I was a little disappointed when listening to some of my favourite albums (a bit too bright and a bit narrow soundstage - nothing major and still sounded good but the setup didn’t blow my socks off).
I then tried streaming a random selection of live albums from Tidal and wow - full sounding, wide soundstage and incredible detail. Is this something that others have observed as well? May be that I’ve inadvertently created a setup that’s just better suited to live material but would be good to get others experience as well.
