Bluesound POWERNODE 2

Refurbished unit at a refurbished price!

I bought my powernode 2 as a refurbished unit; the included documentation indicated that the power supply had been replaced. When adding to my existing system, I found that the firmware on the unit was so far out of date that it wouldn't update, and I had to follow the manual firmware update procedure. (I wish the firmware update had been done as part of the refurb process). With the firmware updated, the unit associated and works as expected! There are some very minor scuffs and signs that the case was opened, but no major scratches. This is going in my workshop and the aesthetics aren't super important. Overall, very impressed for the price. Three stars because it took me a few hours and a bunch of obtuse failure messages to figure out that it needed a firmware update.
