    Yeah, something with the Pass design, it needs to suck up some electric before sounding like it should and it needs that 24 hours or so each time it's unplugged for any time. When I was comparing power cables and it only took a couple seconds at most I didn't really hear any big difference. Another thing I notice is it sounds a bit better after running a while, similar to tubes but not as drastic of a change, it's more like as it warms up the sound stage opens more. If you just got it today, I expect you to be raving tomorrow. Next it will be time to find some larger Dyn's .

    Any way, happy for you.

    I actually thought the same thing. But I will say that the X150.5 does bring out extremely good bottom end for as small as my Dyns are. I will say that my speakers really handle the extra power but I have yet to get the power meter past the mid mark as this amp really delivers the current. I really can't believe that this is the baby of the Pass labs family. And you are right the more the amp warms up the better it is getting.
