Pass amps + Power Cords ??

Uhrn, while I invite all and sundry to avoid jibing "ad hominem", it is equally true -- at least in my limited fiddling experience -- that with one notable exception, power cords have had an influence on the sound
of my electronic components in one audible form or an other.

The problem really starts when we ask what PC may be 'better', as there are so many different incarnations of 'better' among us sufferers of audiophrenia. GI am personally in the 'middle' school of thought, also called the Goldielocks principle I believe. . . call it golden neutrality perhaps?

On my Rowland Model 312 and Esoteric X-01 Limited, I have achieved most desirable Goldielockian results with Furutech Evolution II and Furutech High Performance wires for the more moderately priced wires, and with Shunyata King Cobra (new series that is) for the higher tier PCs.

There is a reasonable chance that Pass gear being also somewhat Goldielockian in its sonic attributes, it might synergize with the same wires. G.

PS. The single component which has this far seemed to be immune to my PC fiddlings has been the JRDG Criterion linestage.

Having used dozens of power cords on dozens of Pass components I've found that Pass products are less affected by different cords than most other brands.

YMMV

Hello everyone. I personally own Pass Labs equipment and have great success with Bmi Cables power cables. Currently own a Bmi Hammerhead Gold mk4 power cable and using with a Pass Lab 350.5 amp. I have another Bmi Hammerhead gold Mk2 on the Pass Labs XP10 preaamp with great results.

Talking with the designer of Bmi cables I remember Mr. Bmi himself that he uses a lot of Pass Labs and vintage Nelson Pass "Threshold" equipment in parallel with his designs.

Okay, Guidocorona, you got my attention!

What the $%#^%# does "Goldielockian" suppposed to mean?

I assume it is related to the fable, "Goldielocks and the Three Bears"; But what the heck does that have to do with audio power cables, (or even life in general?!)

Hey, inquiring minds want to know?! ;-)

In regards to the question at hand, I recommend that you install dedicated circuits, if you don't have them already. IMHO, once you have dedicated circuits, power cords make much less of a difference, to the extent that one can live with "decent" stock power cords, especially when used with quality built amps, such as the ones I have used, (Mark Levinson, and Lamm), and I would imagine like the Pass Labs that you use. (Better cords can make subtle differences to the sound, but they don't make the profound difference that dedicated circuits do.) My two cents of course, based upon my experience.
