Own 860X with a power snake cobra pc. Trying to match anolog output to Bat Vk30se pre amp. 1 volt,2,4 output? Don't like this cd player without tube pre amp. System consist of B&W n804, Jeff Rowland model 2, Bat Vk-30se, 860x, Transparent Super xlr + speaker wire, 3 Richard G, HT AC-11 power cords.

I have seen 270/27ix connected to BAT VK-50SE and the 2 Volt output was used. Hope this helps.

I use an 860x direct to Pass Aleph 2s. I found that not only did I get the level that I wanted but the sound was much more dynamic and lively with the 4 volt output. Wadia seems to imply that the sound itself should not change, but I got a completely diffrent sound when I upped the output voltage. I have a friend who owns one as well and he experienced the same phenonmenon. I am getting a Powersnakes King Cobra for my 860x, how did you like what the Cobra did for your 860x. What do you think of the HT power cords?

to ejlif- i only have a lowly 830 but i compared the HT to a Mamba(not even black) and the HT seemed dark and too warm compared to the powersnake.
