Pass Labs Amp X350.5 or X350.8 anyone compare?
After 80+ hours of actual music playing time and several hundred hours with the X350.8 turned on, I can honestly say that the .8 Amp does have superior sound quality over the X350 .5 version. That is; better bass performance, along with dynamics f...

Lak, I will put it on my cable cooker when I return to work. I guess I expected more from this used cable with all the acclaim.

Dave 72, I wouldn't say the midrange and treble is subdued. Its just different from what I have been listening to over the past several years. To go from the front row to perhaps the middle is the difference in my opinion,

Tboooe, try placing a small magnet on top of the disks. 
Pass Labs Amp X350.5 or X350.8 anyone compare?
I've had the Pass X350.8 plugged in now for about 5 days. Playing time is about 10-15 hours. The sound stage is deep but seems a little dark. That is, with little air around the instruments, and the treble seems to be a little muted. Though this s...
