Prior, with a different preamp, I had purchased a pair of XLR/RCA connects to effect using the balanced inputs on the Pass to little or no effect - feh!
Currently I am using a Furman power conditioner, a "cheap seats" entry level model that noticeably improved things overall. Since I'm settled with the Pass and BAT combo, along with Transparent cabling, I'm watching the site for a better power conditioner. Any thoughts/suggestions here are certainly welcome in the $2k and under range.
The issue at hand remains a constant, that the Thiels sound excellent with just about anything. My nephew has my first pair of 3.5's which - *gasp!* - he listens to through some Denon p.o.s. home theatre integrated, and damn! They still sound great. (Damn Millenials!) His girlfriend is more willing to go 2 channel because of them, so there's hope.
Cheerio!
