I don't see how it can further be improved.

Drop just lowered the price by $50, to $350
Price goes back up 1.1.2020
Once you click on "Buy" it will be added to your cart; where you'll see the $50 discount

is there a trick to doing this? I clicked buy and saw no discount.

At this moment im powering mine with a teradak dc-30 LPS. What i like about this LPS is the adjustable voltage. I actually stumbled on learning this amp could deliver 24V by accident. Ive adjusted it down to 5V but up to 24V was surprising.

Imo there is more definition and impact on lower frequencies but i cant be too sure on what exactly is happening. I just prefer it over the stock smps, simply.

Looks great together. I am looking at the 24V, 2.1mm LPS from Teddy Pardo. However, it is basically the same price as the amp. For a few more % of dynamic range I am not sure it is worth it. I will check out the Teradak. Appreciate the heads up.

@geoffalter11 Just a heads up, there are a few Teradaks out there and with different PCBs.

This is the exact one I bought that I'm using with my 789. To my knowledge this red is the latest model.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/TeraDak-DC...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

This is the very first one I ordered, but the picture displayed with the RED PCB is not the one I got. Instead I got one with a yellow PCB and has 6 tall capacitors.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/hot-sale-T...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

I replaced the capacitors in both of the Teradaks. Anyway, I think it's important to contact the ebay seller to know the model you're getting, and to the best of my knowledge it would be good to get the one with the red PCB and 4 capacitors.

Ooh, $350 for a headphone amp that was going for double on the aftermarket? Good deal...

 

[bequietjk]

Oh yeah. Great time to buy the 789 brand new.

Thanks for the advice. I will look into on Ebay and contact the seller.

I do see this discount. Maybe it's country-specific?

That is definitely an improvement!

I have a new account that hasn’t purchased anything (new members get $20 off), i don’t see the discount. If i log into my other account that isn’t eligible for the $20 discount i do see the $50 off.

Out of curiosity what power cord did you use to connect the LPS to the rear of the THX amp? Also how did you "dial up" a 12V LPS to 24V? Wouldn't it be safer to purchase the TeraDak DC-200W, that is spec'd at 24V, albeit quite a bit more expensive of course.

I had the same question. If you read the fine print it appears to be 20 off Drop Studio items rather than anything on drop.

I got an email from Drop about this; the reduced price is a special offer for “new HD 6XX owners only.” I’m not sure what constitutes a new owner but I purchased the HD 6XX from them in late December 2018 so it was within the last year.

 

[chennaxin95]

Was this part of their thanksgiving deal for the 6xx?

 

[adamos]

Was this part of their thanksgiving deal for the 6xx?

I don’t think so - I got the Drop email on 12/27 and it said the offer was good until 12/31.
