Power cables for PassLabs preamp and poweramp


I just setup my pass xp20 pre and xa30.5 class A amp, finally moved n unboxed everything after 15 months.  I been wanting 2 try some new pc I now have nordost---soundstrings---AQ----n just bought a shunyata ps 8 package----I find the venom defender does not sound good with the pass equipment.

Those r just a few of the PC I have used in the past, I have been advised 2 go with the Shunyata PC.
I would be thankful for ur input.....I also just ordered Maplewood 4" speaker plinths for my Gallo speakers
because I now have a concrete floor 4 the first time-------player is oppmodwright full mods.

b0_1972 is correct.  The Purist LE is the most amazing AC power cord anywhere near it's price.  Once you hear it, you can't go back.  It has unanimously won blind AC shootouts since it's inception in 2010.
The PK-10 is for the money exeptional, but when you use the latest LE powercables it sets the Pass labs to a superior level.

I owned the XA100.5 and used the Purist Aqueous 20th Ann pwercables. Later I also owned the X250.5 and now comes the clue.

When I bouyght my first LE powercable. The quality of the X250.5 went to a totally different level.

It even became more complete compared to the XA100.5. So with the best powercabels you can outperform een Pass labs power amos what is twice the price.

I have done thousands of test in almost 18 years of time. People are able to get a very low level out of speakers and amps as well. I have proven this over and over again. 

With the best powercables you can create a difference in endresult what is almost hard to believe.

I can garantee you 100% that with a Pass labs X350.8 wiht a new LE powercable I will outperform a X600.8 set with Shunyata powercabels.

This is a part most people don;t know. Because thye never tested it. I test to create new information to create superior endresult.

The biggest problem in audio is that people are not aware of the properties of each single part. I have learned myself to think in properties.

That is why I work by Tru-Fi and this makes audio so much more effective. I can beat any highend shop in the world with ease in endresult.

Why? Because all sets I auditioned in 2015 at shows, shops, distributers and new clients were all incomplete.

When I ask the question which properties owns all the different parts of this set no one can answer it.

That is why audio is one big F. guess? Over and over again it is the same outcome. I learned to look further because I became aware that the way audio is being used is extremely ineffective.

Audio is all about realism of the music. You need to understand how the emotion of us human beings is created.


The Purist Audio Limited had a burning period of over 21 days. And this 24 hours a day. I really hated this!
Pass Labs creates a wide and deep stage, but individual focus of instruments and voices is not as palpable and intimate as in real.

I had many conversations about this with Desmond in the past. He said that the .8 series is more intimate and sharper focussed.

That is why MIT and Shunyata doesn't make sense. Because they own the wrong properties you need.

Pass labs with MIT and Shunyata has nothing to do with how music sounds and is being build as a stage. 

That is why people need to go back to basic. Start listening  to acoustic music. This way distributers and shops give customers the wrong thoughts about music and audio.

In highend it is even worse, I visited people with expensive sets and the endresults were often so low. 

The price you pay doesn't garantee you anything. The word highend is a farce as well. Because it is used the wrong way. Many people believe that expensive audio will give you the best sound possible.

The people who write about it, are often paid. So people get the wrong ideas and thoughts about brands and audio. 

In 18 years of time I seldom auditioned sets who owned all parts of Tru-Fi. This says it all that the way how people create audio sets is ineffective.

When you are not aware of the properties of each part, you never will understand why the sound and stage is what you hear. 

This is the reason why I have done thousands of tests to understand it. 
I sold ( for 9 years of time) and owned Nordost Valhalla ( for 12 years) cables and also the powercables. These days in shows I often see them.

Before I auditioned a set with the new Nordost Valhalla I said: we will have about 1 metre of depth. So some people( also working in audio) listen to it and say: yesss you are right. Audio has become for me so predictable.

People who work in audio for years don’t even know the properties of the product they represent. What the F...are you doing in audio?

I think this question can be asked to most people in audio. They are responsible for all those sets who play at low level. People get the wrong advice over and over again.
