Zen, hope your still out there. If a power cord would bring the X2.5 closer to the X1, what about a PS audio ac regenerator/conditioner? If the only sonic differences between the two relate to noise wouldn't removing noise level the playing field. Besides, PS device would help my other components as well.
Pass Labs X1 vs. X2.5
With all the used Pass pre's on this site I've been tempted to upgrade to either the X1 or the X2.5. I've seen both described as having "tube-like" sound. My question is whether the X1 is worth the added expense. Does the separate power supply really help and in what ways. On the used market there isn't all that much difference in price when you factor in the discounts given on the smaller comsmetic version, only around 3200 new! So, if any of you folks out there have anthing to say reguarding these pre's I sure appreciate it. Thanks.
