Any idea if they are going on sale again On Drop?
They just came off sale last week. I can't see them going back on sale soon, unless they are sitting on a ton of inventory.Any idea if they are going on sale again On Drop?
I keep my Elex plugged into:Bought yesterday, now looking for a good balanced amp/dac. Any suggestions?
I love my Elex's with my Liquid Platinum. My current DAC is a Bifrost2, but I was quite happy with my SMSL SU-8. I have a couple of amps that cost considerably more, but I love that pairing. Same with the Senn HD660's.Bought yesterday, now looking for a good balanced amp/dac. Any suggestions?
Yes, yes and yes!Is $550 a good price for these headphones? Tempted with the 20% off pricing right now.
Great deal. I use mine with the included XLR balanced cable which is a big plus for buying the Elex over the other Focal models which charge extra.Is $550 a good price for these headphones? Tempted with the 20% off pricing right now.
Whether the XLR cable is a plus is debatable considering Focal's terrible QC, at least in my case. Despite careful handling, I had three of these cables fail in roughly a year. Drop replaced the first two under warranty, but since they will not, or cannot, replace just the cable, you need to box up and return the entire package for a new Elex, a PITA. Drop would have replaced the Elex after the third failure, but I was fed up and just got a Periapt XLR cable which still functions perfectly after a couple of years. (TBH, the Elex does not get heavy use since I got a ZMF Aeolus last year.)Great deal.
