I’m pleased to announce that Yair Furman (aka yairf) has recently joined Teddy Pardo Audio, as Head of Operations. Yair and I go a long way back, right from the day I started this business, and now we decided to make it official. In his new role, Yair will be personally accountable for...

Sorry, I didn't receive any of your emails, but the answer is yes. The TeddyCap evolved over the years and recent versions are significantly better than old ones

The mains AC ground/earth is connected to the power supply case for safety reasons and for screening, it is not connected to the DC zero.

Do you have a DualTeddyCap with white cables? If you have white cables it's a very old version of the DualTeddyCap...

Ryder, these are strange results. The HiCap DR is much closer to the TeddyCap than the original HiCap, so between the four configurations described above the first and the forth should normally sound the most similar. What you got is the total opposite, where the first is the worse and the last...

The 3 outputs (2x HiCap, 1x Napsc) of the DualTeddyCap are totally independent and can be used individually, or together. Each output has a dedicated transformer secondary and the use of one does not affect the other. The Napsc is used to power the control circuitry and has no effect on sound...

They can't, they don't have margins. The distribution channel eats 50-70%. They bring value but they don't work for free.

Our business is built from day one on direct sell, which allows us to sell at a much lower price, sometimes 1/4 of the price of equivalent products, but... We have started with power supplies, which was relatively easy, as it is perceived as accessory and people felt more confident. Then we...

I suggest our i80d, which is a TeddyDAC and an ST60 in a single box, and offered now at a special price. The sound quality is in the league of high end systems costing many times its price. https://www.teddypardo.com/amplifiers/integrated/i80d.html

The fact that we have now covered the development cost of these products, and that we have fully optimized the purchase and manufacturing processes, allows us to further reduce the prices of these products. Enjoy, Teddy Pardo

For the NAC102 you can use a TeddyCapPlus which has one HiCap output and one Napsc output. It was designed for the NAC102/202 https://www.teddypardo.com/powersupplies/teddycapplus.html

Not surprised at all... The SuperCap and the HiCap use the same circuits, if someone compares and find that one sounds better than the other, and you'll hear both opinions, it's probably because one is newer than the other. The Naim HiCap/SuperCap circuits rely on filtering done by large...

AFAIK each HiCap powers different stages of both channels. I have tried in the past powering a NAC82 with a HiCap/TeddyCap combo and there was nothing odd in the sound or in the balance between channels. In any case, you can try and judge for yourself, you don't risk anything more than by...

The Italian customs/post are known to be the worst of all. We get complaints from many Italian customers, and if you look on ebay you'll see sellers that will not ship to Italy. Fortunately it's not the case with most other countries. Saying that, if I understand correctly, even in Italy you...

No import taxes on products made in Israel. The taxes issue is explained on our FAQ page
