Is Drop not selling their amps and dac anymore? I haven't seen any THX or Grace models in a while and no new models. Did they change their business model?

That does seem to be the case. Pity though, I thought their Amp and DAC collabs were seriously good value - I've enjoyed using my LCX+SDAC. Drop just isn't the same anymore.

They certainly pushed the market forward. Without them things will get more expensive and less innovative.

Adorama - Etymotic Research ER3SE - $49

Darn, I searched Adorama for the ER4 but nothing comes up. I was going to try the discount link, ?emailprice=t to get a good deal on it.
It's been said the ER3 can sound mostly identical to the ER4 by using a certain resistor inline to the amp. Does anyone know what resistance is needed, or a link to a resistor that would work? Or is this hack even accurate?

AUDEZE Euclid Closed-Back Planar Magnetic In-Ear Headphones with Cable (B-Stock)

Anyone guess as to why these Audeze's have dropped so much??
Seems nutty...

I bought Focal Elegia's for $3xx from Audorama, don't really remember, but they seemed brand new...

Possibly because they were overpriced compared to the other planars now available? I bet they still aren't losing money on them!

AUDEZE Euclid Closed-Back Planar Magnetic In-Ear Headphones with Cable (B-Stock)
Adorama - $299

This seems to differ from the previous (new stock?) sale at $399 by the lack of balanced and Bluetooth cables. Still, a pretty good deal!

Correct, new stock deal was much better imo but no longer available. Edit: I wonder if these B Stock's are the returns with possible bad cable(s).

Adorama has the Sennheiser HD559 open-back new for $64, which makes it a great cheap-and-open-back alternative to the AKG K240:

Saw the Adorama Euclid posting this morning (12/6/2022). I was going to order them after the meetings. Now just found out they are no longer available. Sigh.

No worries you just saved $300. Just because it was available at low price didn’t mean we have to buy it.
