power cords for Pass Labs Amps


Hi, I was wondering if anyone has successfully used aftermarket powercords for their Pass Labs amps. I have the XA160 and was curious if pcs made any difference. I also asked this question directly to Pass technical support and here is what I got back:

"If the power cord is running near interconnect cables then an after market shielded power cord might help. Other wise I haven't seen them do much."

Your response is greatly appreciated.

Tboooe,
I also have the Pass XA160's which I run on 15' JPS Labs In-Wall cables directly to dedicated 20-amp circuits from my AC panel terminated with Furutech IEC plugs. I tried this approach with my Pass Aleph 2 monoblocks and found it made a big difference. Lower noise floor. There are no additional connections (outlets and powercords) between each amp and breaker. I plan to talk to my electrician about a dedicated ground and will try Walker Extreme SST on connections at the breaker and back of amps. You can refer to my virtual system for more details. Very interesting topic.
