I ordered a new umbilical cable for my Musical Fidelity M3, another 2 box unit, from Sweetcome in Hong Kong and it made a considerable improvement in sound. Bear in mind that all parts on a commercial product, even good quality expensive ones, are economic compromises between the best and what is economically feasible. Usually $100 in added manufacturing costs can add $1000 to selling price. If I were able to get a custom cable made up I would. Somebody like Signal Cable could do it reasonably if it uses standard connectors, using Oyaide power cable would be better. If it fits your connecters you could buy some and have a local technician make it up. By using a longer length I was able to separate them more, which also helped. Both increased separation and better quality cable are helpful IMHO.
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?
