Pass labs X350.5 jumpers and Power cables

Playing with the system last night I was rotating interconnects and power cables looking for a good balance and what the Pass is doing in my system. A few quick observations. I cannot get the bass where I want it. This could be part of the Dynaudio C1's character and I was hopeful that the Pass's current would solve some of the woolliness, and it did to a certain extent. My ears are still accustomed to the line arrays which do bass. Oh my do they do bass. And they do it with lots of drivers.

I tried plugging the Pass straight into the wall, bypassing the Power Plant Premier. I think I like it better without a regenerated AC. I'll have to revisit that scenario.

The C1's I think sound better with the Pass than do the line arrays. The Nuforces through the Power Plant Premier to the line arrays was breathtaking at times. I could have left well enough alone.

I'll check room response today with some RTA software and a mic. I can see a second sub in this system.

The front panels of the amps are pretty beat up. I wonder if Pass doesn't refurbish front panels?

Thanks for your opinions.

The Pass will probably work better with balanced cables.

The Pass has excellent bass quality, but everything matters. Your speakers, Amps, cables , power source etc.

IMHO, The Pass works better with unresricted power.
Please do not plug it into the PS audio Equipment.
Dedicated line also would help, but if not possible, limit the amount of items on the line that the Pass Amp is plugged into.

I also confirm that Shunyata Anaconda or Python work good with Pass amps. In addition, I had quite satisfactory result with Exact Power EP-15A.(AC Regenerator-filter)
I also recommend XLR cable use over RCA.

You can make those jumper pins yourself. Just grab some solid-core copper cables and cut a piece, strip any outer jacket, and bend it into an "U" shape. When my house was under remodel, I found tons of 12 gauge ground wires that my contractor was throwing away, so I just pick them up to be used for situations like this.

Pass amps have one of the best bass control, or I should say most realistic bass rendition, I've heard.

I am using a BMI Orca II Limited Ed. powercord. My buddy also uses one of the Shunyata snakes on his with a pair of Dynaudio C4s. It took him a long time to get the bass dialed in. But they sound incredible right now.
