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?

The hi-grade umbilical cord is an interesting matter .. Stanwal
I lost a sale here about one of them expressly made for the Pass X1 I don't remeber the brand name but it was from US

I had a 6 foot umbilical and had them that far apart once. No difference.

My unit was an integrated amp so it was impossible to decide how much of the improvement was due to the separation of the power amp form the power supply and how much the preamp. But the better cable was definitely a large improvement.
