Moving from Pass Labs Aleph 5 to Aleph 2


Hello - I am looking for feedback on improvements I might experience moving from Aleph 5 (60 watts) to Aleph 2 (100 watts mono blocks). My system consists of Camelot Uther MKIV 24/192 DAC run direct to Aleph 5 powering Audio Physic Virgo II's. I use Harmonic technology thuth link XLR, and Pro 9 speaker cable. Ideas about interconnects and speaker cable is also welcome.
thanks

I was using a pair of Aleph 2's, Aleph P, and some home made speakers, I know this is going to sound wackey but I switched up power cords and interconnects and I could not tell the difference between any of them, I switched between, XLO, Audioquest, Tara interconnects and Black Mamba Power Cords. What did make a difference is when I switched to XLO Type 5 speaker cables, they were the match my system needed. I thought the XLO Type 5 that were Heavy guage copper cables with Teflon were FAST and brought out an excellent bottom end. Wish I still had that system
