    Pass Labs X150.5 Has Arrived

    UPS dropped it off around 1:00pm. Took my hand truck to get into my audio room. Then I rigged up my furniture dolly and some plywood so that the amp and the shelf were at the same height. Replaced the MIT bananas with the supplied spades. Couldn't use my Voodoo power cord as the distance between the back of the chassis and the rear support post on my rack were too close. Leaving it on for 24 hours to burn-in.Pass Labs X150.5 Has Arrived-new-pass-010.jpgPass Labs X150.5 Has Arrived-new-pass-013.jpg

    Congrats, Jack. We'll be waiting for your listening impressions.

    What will you be using as a preamp with the Pass?

    I'll be using my Anthem integrated for the time being, but hopefully I can find a used ARC or Conrad Johnson to fill that spot.

    Congrats Jack! Can't wait to read your review!

    I see you have a VoooDooo PC, which one and how do you like it? I've heard great things about them.

    Thanks Frenchie, the X150.5 is sounding sweet. Everything I pull out to listen to sounds a little different. I can't always put my finger on the difference, but all of a sudden, there it is.

    I have the Voodoo Tiger. I was sort of bummed that I couldn't use it in my setup. The head of the plug won't fit thru the holes that are provided in the support post for wire management. I might need a 90 degree plug that goes up so I can use the Tiger.

    Jack it will only get better as warm up and break in happens. So it drives the Dyn's pretty well?
