Bob_reynolds - The PASS X1 was in production for 10-years (1999 2008) over this long production period improvements were made to both the Control Unit and Power Supply. I owned - at the same time - an early-version of the X1 with the small power-supply, and a late-version with the full-size power-supply. The later version sounded noticeably better, so out of curiosity, I removed the top-cover of the Control Units and Power Supplies and found the PCBs and Electronic Components of the Control Units to be different as well as those of the Power Supplies - the full-size power supplys components could not fit in the small power supplys box. There are also differences in the Control Units Volume Knob, Buttons and Display.
