pass labs x250 talon khoruses and bat vk-40

i finally got a pre amp , bat vk 40, the sound is really harsh, guess it needs to break in still , my question is
can my xlr cable b out of phase? can the 'HOT' pin be pin 3
and not pin 2 ?
and also...should the needle on my pass labs x250 jump all
the way up when i crank the volume up , i like to listen to music very loudly, and i heard once that this needle should stay static, is something wrong with this brand new amp?
thanks a bunch to all you guys that helped me choose that pre amp..im sure i love it eventually -)

If you play your music very loud you can take your needle all the way up. Once it goes beyond half you are no longer in class A but have entered class B. There is nothing wrong with your amp and the amazing thing is that the Khorus really don't need much power so you and several other people I know must really crank your systems.

I hope you end up liking your preamp. The Khorus and the Pass are both wonderful products.

Good luck!
