Congrats on the X250.8!
For power cords, try TWL Seven Plus (used under $400) - open and fast sounding cable. Or Acoustic Zen Krakatoa (should be between $400-$500) - a bit warmer than the TWL.
New Pass amp X250.8
Just a quick shout out to all. Just received the AMP of my dreams (not checkbook ones though) The rest of my system is terminated with middle of the road and aftermarket Power Cords. Cullen Crossover 2, Wire world Electra solid OCC core, and Anti-Cables 3 I believe. Very nice system, even nicer now! Will probably never spend more than $400 for a one meter cable (that all the length I need) It will terminate into a dedicated 20 amp circuit with 15 amp receptacle, another words a standard plug. System is somewhat neutral, to somewhat mildly warm. I had tried the OCC type as someone told me it was a better cable design????? (Wireworld Electra) I'm really happy with most ewverything, just needing to finish the new Amp with a Good cable. You guys have helped me several times in the past, Thanks, Robert TN

@robshaw - Take a look at cables from
They both have cables in your snack bracket However, the Pass Labs amp has an exceptional power supply, so you might need one of the higher end products from Zavfino to hear the more subtle nuances that Pass Labs are well known for Start with cables that employ OCC copper Also, as @jafant posted - take time to acclimate your ears and break in the amp - I would estimate 300-400 hours Regards - Steve

@stereo5 a very common and incorrect impression based on the misinterpreted statement from a Pass Labs component manual. Putting this to bed.
In my experience, Pass Labs amps and preamps react to power cord changes exactly the same way as most other components do provided your system possesses the necessary resolving power, your room acoustics are up to the task and your ears are trained to hear these changes. |
