Sound of Pass Labs xono preamp in 2 versions


Does the Pass Labs Xono phono preamp in the version with the dual matching chasis sound the same as the older model version with the black colored power supply chasis? There's quite a difference in price and I'm wondering do the two versions use the same parts in their power supply? Thanks

There is a difference between power supplies.I had X1 with old p/s and new matching chassis ps.The soundstage on the old power supply is wider and taller and it's a bit warmer.
After i sold the original X1 i was never able to recapture the magic with a new power supply.A year later i sold it.
