power cord for pass 250.8


Looking for a power cord for my Pass 250.8

Right now using cord that came with it. Could I do better?

For those with this amp which cord did you find most suitable.... My system is a bit on the laid back side so a somewhat more forward sound would be nice. Looking to pay up to $3,000.00 used.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Well you spent $150 and got no ROI so I call thar a waste of money. The stock power cords are solidly built. You could have paid for a year worth of Qobuz subscription with the $150 you dumped into a purchase that brought no improvement to the sound of your system. What would you call it? The audiophile nervosa insurance?

I use a ZeroSurge 2R15W between the outlet and my Pass XA 60.8s. I chose it because of the surge protection it provides and the review on ASR that showed no change from input to output. It has a captured power cord that cannot easily be replaced. Curious as to thoughts about the value of replacing the amp power cords in this setting.

OP indicated his sound was on the laid back sound, and was looking for something a bit more forward sounding. Which cables would tend to go in that direction? Something by Nordost, maybe?

I mentioned Nordost Tyr 2 in my earlier post. Let’s add Shunyata Alpha v2 NR. Try before you buy though.

Listen to as many as you can.  [I have Shunyata (Alpha v@ NR) and love them and other options like Nordost may float your boat more)
