New Pass owner here. Had been using Spectral gear, but problems with the amps and a four-month repair prompted me to look elsewhere. Cannot get new Spectral designs (the new 400SV amps, for eg.,). I had been using MIT cables, specially designed for Spectral. Spectral used only RCA interconnects. Have a long 12 meter run between amp and preamp. A 12 meter interconnect can be a very pricey component. But RCA was not good enough. Changed to balanced cables when my audio dealer found a new pair of 12 meter-long Cardas Clear balanced interconnects in his stock. Amazing. That made a huge impact on SQ. Now with these new cables, (interconnect and matching speaker cables) the sound has opened up in a big way. I matched the amp with a Pass XP32 preamp. That is a good unit, maybe better than my old Spectral 30SV, which was quite good. Sources: Spectral CD (SL4000) + VPI AvengerDirect TT.
