Phil PENG Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 As titel said, or any better option? I still remain $25 reward in Drop. And now using JDS element 2. I tried many headphone but rarely drive them on a balance AMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My meaning is I wanna try an AMP with balance output. The 789 seems a good budgeting choise And I just want to know the biggest discount on the Drop of this AMP.

The THX789 sounds the same as the SP200, which is cheaper. They both sound fairly similar to the Element 2. The whole balance thing isn't the drawcard really. If you have Drop credit and you want to spend it, do it. Members of this Australia forums have no idea what the Drop administration has planned for the pricing of their now outdated 789 amplifier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do yo mean tube amp would be much worth to upgrade than those kinds of AMP just have 'beautiful' performance? Could you recommend a cost-effective one for me?

Bengineer Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 No! I'm saying don't buy a 789 because it's balanced. Buy an Amp that has a sound you are after. Balanced or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balanced or not. Make sense. But do it really sounds same as element 2? Cuz either SP200 or THX series are all use the so call ' THX AAA' framework tech.

SP400 has relay based R2R volume control... no channel imbalance issues... perfect left/right volume tracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
