power cords for Pass Labs Amps

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has successfully used aftermarket powercords for their Pass Labs amps. I have the XA160 and was curious if pcs made any difference. I also asked this question directly to Pass technical support and here is what I got back:

"If the power cord is running near interconnect cables then an after market shielded power cord might help. Other wise I haven't seen them do much."

Your response is greatly appreciated.

Yes, Pass suggested that their stock cords were enough. However, I have managed to achieve dramatic changes with PAD Dominus, Venustas and ESP Reference. I do not own the XA160 but 2 pcs X350.5
Dominus and ESP really excells in the bass and the Venustas is a true all rounder.

Terryakhan,

What is the difference with the Dominus and the ESP?

Apart from price,the Dominus bass has a bit more clarity than the ESP. However the ESP is an oustanding product also. ESP is a terrific value.
Hope this helps. Terry
