If you go back in my answers you wil find my thoughts about it.
The Purist Audio Limited Edition 2013 version had a very big positive influence on the X250.5.
I owned the XA30.5, 60.5 and 100.5 and thought I would prefer the XA series over the X series.
But......how I use it the X.5 series has some advantages over the XA series. This is faster response, more drive and more spatial in the high freq. You need a high quality cable to maintain the involment in the mid freq and the authority in the high freq. A cheaper powercable will give you a clear disadvantage in the mid freq. and high freq. This is why many people prefer the XA series over the X series. I had the same thoughts. But by testing my thoughts changed. I had these discussions with Pass Labs.
The Purist brings new parts which are not there compared to a basic power cable.
I will go this year for the X350.8 instead the XA100.8.
By using the Purist it is like you double the quality in endresult. You have to try it to believe it.
Powercables have a huge influence on poweramps and sources as well.
