Tom Christiansen is selling the HPA-10 at $299https://www.tomchr.com/products/hpa-10-headphone-amplifier which is 36% off
I'm sorry, but why did that thing cost $469 to begin with? You can get transparent amps with that kind of power or more, for $100.. A30 Pro is $349, and A90 Pro is $499, both just way better. Even at $299, there's better stuff at a cheaper price. Maybe I'm missing something.Tom Christiansen is selling the HPA-10 at $299https://www.tomchr.com/products/hpa-10-headphone-amplifier which is 36% off
You're correct as far as it goes on price and the inaudibility race. His builds are engineered and constructed like tanks and are more of a decade product. He also sources and uses Canadian labor so those costs are higher.I'm sorry, but how did that thing cost $469 to begin with? You can get transparent amps with that kind of power or more, for $100..

JBL 308P MKII Studio Monitor Review

Make sure you flip the HF Trim Switch to -2dB if you're not gonna be using parametric EQ - that gives it a flatter on-axis & flatter listening window. If you're gonna use parametric EQ then you could try out the Anechoic EQ I created for them using Amir's spinorama measurement, there's a link to my parametric EQ in the following post:I just bought those JBL 308P's, wow what a deal! Thanks you guys, regards Richard

Hello Robbo99999 and others, I got um and they are fantastic. I hit the -2dB HF Trim Switch and that sounds great. I'm going to try some of the parametric settings too.
