Pass Labs X1 owners

Hello Guys,

I own a Pass Labs X1 preamp and since when I bought I left the preamp over its power supply connected by the stock humbilical cord.
Thinking about a good shielded chassis of the power supply I never tried to separate them.
Any Pass X1 owner here tried to separate them for better sonic result?
And if done .. what's the result?.. It's the same or did you get something better?

I wouldn't mod the Pass equipment at all. Nelson knows what he is doing and I think you will hurt the sonic character by doing anything. The only way I would modify it is to upgrade to the XP-20.

I don't want to mod anything in my Pass X1 .. Jtwrace!
I'm just asking if I get something better if I separe the power supply from the preamp.

I have to make a hole in my closet rear wooden panel to do this .. Tvad .. as you can see in the picture above .. so I want to be sure about the sonical improvment.
