Cancelling this drop because there's no UK 220 ~ 240 powerplug. It's a shame since I was truly thrilled to see the drop, at such a great price no less. Here's a heads up to other who cancelled because of the same reason, JDS is having a flash sale right now, at 99 USD with free power adapter based on shipping location, rubber feet (if it matters), and two NiHM batteries. I think it would be an excellent alternative if you cannot commit to this drop.

tompopoDon't forget with JDS Labs you can also add optional customisations in such as:- - Rear power - Rear RCA input jacks - 1/4 inch output jack - Your choice of low, medium and high gain settings. Also if you desire JDS Labs offer a free custom engraving service for the enclosure.

bickel72Those options do increase the price quite a bit. I think the spirit of this Massdrop version of the O2 is to get people into the market at a cheap entry point.

iainsaxonI agree with you, however currently for international buyers the difference unfortunately is negligible since no 220V-240V 15VAC Power supply and 9V NiMH batteries are included. Also for $3 more than the USD $99 JDS Labs sale price you can customise for Rear Power and the Gain settings option is free, which are all the options that I actually require for my O2 amp. This saves me unnecessary cost in buying a DIY Kit later from Massdrop for a replacement Faceplate, Rear Backplate, Power Jack and associated wiring. Oh and no need to solder or pay additional international postage to get it delivered when it becomes available.

bickel72I concur. I needed the medium gain setting of 1.0x and 3.3x. While swapping resistor to change the gain isn't a problem to me, I don't think I go through the additional trouble to do so. And to be honest, JDS's shipping is slightly cheaper to my location (though negligible), and I would imagine it to be way faster since they have ready stock. To add on to the advantages, I can also get various accessories like interconnect cables and have them shipped together at no additional shipping cost. But for people living in the US who only wants the O2 (with a US adapter), this drop is still pretty much a no-brainer.
