PassX1 with black power supply vs Chassis supply

I auditioned the X1 with an X250 at a dealer showroom. When I asked the dealer the very same question, I was told that the only differences were cosmetic.

Nuttella. I was told that too but there is supposed to be a subtle inprovenent. They have more space for the parts in the bigger supply and the weight of the chassis power supply would have a benefit to the sound as well.They would at Pass had the space to add parts or change parts as necessary I believe the biiger power supply probably sounds better but I' m trying to decide if it's a big enough improvement to spend the money for the upgrade. I don't have the option to hear them side by side but apparently a few people have done this upgrade but for the cosmetic benefit. I would be just as happy to upgradse the black supply with internal improvements and keep the small black power supply but I don't think it can be done. I will end up with the full chassis power supply at some point which would look good come to think of it.

Did you ask Peter at Pass to send you one so that you could hear it for yourslef and ask him if he'd take it on a trade in for some extra $$$ is you like it?

Try him.

Happy Listening.

Hi Bigkidz, I'll ask but I cannot see Pass sending an amp or preamp for trial accross Canadian customs.
