My Blu2 arrived about an hour ago.
You get in the box:-
The Blu2
A printed manual
A power chord
A remote (not a small dinky one like with the Dave)
No USB cable that I could see despite what it says in the published info on Chord's site.
I had already bought a pair of identical BNC 1m terminated cables (£20 variety) so I was good to go. There was a brief moment when I wondered if I should have quick listen just with the Dave to be able to compare the sound with the Blu2 added, but stuff that, the Blu2 was here and I wanted to listen to it.
After switching off the Dave, then connecting the cables and then switching the Dave and Blu2 on it was time to select the dual BNC connection. I had them on BNC 1 and 2 so I selected BNC 1, waited the 3 seconds and up popped the confirming display.
By now the Blu2 had had a 12 second burn in so time to play . . . . .
Shelby Lynne, "Just a little lovin' ", first track.
Good grief, there was no need to have listened to the Dave by itself to refresh my memory. There was a big difference in sound with the Blu2 added. The best way I can describe it is to say that it is like the Dave but more so. Everything I like about the Dave is multiplied by a factor of 5 or 10. Not different, just more of the same if that makes sense.
Next was Laura Marling, "Once I was an eagle", track 4. Same thing again with the sound. It is simply stunning. Simply simply stunning.
I have come through to my computer to post this now but I will be going straight back to listen.
