@moto_man mine are actually the original Sabrinas. But I don’t think that matters much. I might give the alpha v2 power cords another shot. These X260.8 amps are drastically different from the 30.8. They have full control of the speakers. And the bass now is much better than it was with the 30.8. I’m starting with the XLRs first.
And yes, I’m tweaking the room acoustics to tune the room to these amps. It’s a process…
Interconnects for Pass Labs X260.8
What balanced interconnects are you using with your X260.8 or X350.8?
Looking to potentially move on from my Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper XLRs. While they worked wonderfully with lower power amps I had with their plump bass, including the XA30.8, I find them (suspicion at this point) to be too much of a good thing with the X260.8.
What ICs would have the same natural tone but have better clarity and faster bass?
Gear (in my profile as well):
Bricasti M3, Wilson Sabrina, Pass XP22 preamp, X260.8 amps, Audience AU24SX speaker cables. Amps plugged into outlet on a 20A dedicated circuit.
Thanks in advance!

@soix that price is not right. Anyway…thanks! |
I agree that price is ridiculous, but it might be worth offering $500 and see what happens cause he ain’t selling those ICs for more than $600. No way no how and he’ll just eat them at his asking price. Might be worth a shot. Look forward to hearing your thoughts either way. I find the Silver Refs to sound nicely detailed with tight bass yet still possessing natural tonality, especially for silver ICs. That’s a signature trait of all the AZ cables I have IMHO. |
