I believe that PS Audio power conditioners are known for their current limiting. This combined with your Pass Labs X-250, which I believe draws more current than most similarly powered amps would appear to me to be sort of a double whammy.
Why it takes a couple of days for the effects to set in, I have no idea.
If you have other components connected to the PS Audio, remove them and just try the amp. Better yet, try connecting the amp to a dedicated 20 amp circuit. Dynamics should immediately improve.
If you do not have dedicated lines (especially for the amplifier), I'd highly recommend having at least one, if not 3 or 4, installed.
-IMO
