Nuttella. I was told that too but there is supposed to be a subtle inprovenent. They have more space for the parts in the bigger supply and the weight of the chassis power supply would have a benefit to the sound as well.They would at Pass had the space to add parts or change parts as necessary I believe the biiger power supply probably sounds better but I' m trying to decide if it's a big enough improvement to spend the money for the upgrade. I don't have the option to hear them side by side but apparently a few people have done this upgrade but for the cosmetic benefit. I would be just as happy to upgradse the black supply with internal improvements and keep the small black power supply but I don't think it can be done. I will end up with the full chassis power supply at some point which would look good come to think of it.
PassX1 with black power supply vs Chassis supply
Has anyone had the pleasure of A-Bing the X1 preamp power supply little black box verses full chassis power supply. I'm after any sonic improvemenmts and the cosmetic factor is not an issue. Are these two power supplies very different? Does the full size power supply sound better enough to upgrade to it? These are questions I find myself asking. Do I sap power supplies for sonic improvment or is the difference small enough not to do this. Pass said it sounds better and I trust the people at pass but I was wondering if anyone has compared the two power supplies and what are the sonic differences? Apparently most people who have done this have done it for the cosmetics. I suppose the mass of the chassis of the power supply alone would improve the sound. Any opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks
