The Deals Thread

That's a nice deal! I know quite a few people who prefer it over the 650. Cheers

 

The Rolling Stones In Mono (Vinyl Box Set) at Music Direct

On sale at $324.99, with 15% coupon code tacked on drops it to $276.24. Best price I've seen so far.

Fremer compared these reissues to his original London and Decca monos and found them to be different sounding, but in some (most) ways better (e.g. more dynamic and more bass). Review here, well worth the read:

LSS, if you're a Stones fan, and don't own and don't see yourself owning original monos, or even if you do, this is probably the way to go. I'll definitely buy this set, and probably jump on this offer.

Caveats:

-Unlike the Beatles mono box, not a full analog transfer.
-Apparently not as nicely (impeccably) detailed as the Beatles set. Because ABCKO.
-Doesn't ship until after the first of the year.
-Paid slightly less ($262.00) for the Beatles set, which just seems wrong dammit!

 

Not sure anyone here would want one, but a newegg seller has the dt 770 80ohm for $104.

Not a deal per se- but Schiit are listing black Jotenheims at the moment, for people who like to colour coordinate.

 

Goddammit I like to color coordinate. Having just bought a Sonett, I don't need this. (as I repeat this in my head over and over)

Edit: f**k it, bought. I'm so weak.

 

Now it would be nice if some black finish Modi Multibits show up.

 

Massdrop Headamp Pico dac/amps for $250 if it gets enough commits. Older portable but these used to be closer to 500 from headamp iirc.

Would love to see the Pico Power on a drop!

 

For Canucks, someone's selling their HD6XX order at cost: http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649317203-sennheiser-hd-6xx/

Seller has no feedback, so do your due diligence, but if this is legit, it should go fast.

 

I've already got the HD650, but that one's local to me...

 

I thought about mentioning you as soon as I saw Winnipeg in the description.

 

VPI 299D Integrated Amplifier (Open Box) $2,999.99 (New $3,999.99)

"This amp is so good, I bought one myself!" -Seth Frank, Owner of SoundStageDirect

Original created [by] Harry Weisfeld [and] long time family friend Steve Leung (VAS) collaborated together to bring back one of their favorites, the Scott 299D integrated amp.

AUDEZE LCD-2 Planar Magnetic Headphones Aluminum Lambskin W/iFi micro iDSD Black
$995
www.adorama.com/aulcd2latce.html?sdtid=9495519&emailprice=t

Note, the iFi micro iDSD Black Label Edition is an updated iDSD (I think), not just a black version.

I wonder what the breakdown of the items is. People have had some luck buying the bundle, then returning one of the items, which makes the other item a really good value.

 

The LCD-2 Aluminium B-stock were on sale for ~$500 during black friday, so I'd guestimate somewhere close to 70/30 (For the LCD and the iFi, respectively)

 

Currently on back-order, but the Parts Express Overnight Sensations are on sale for $118 a pair, with additional $10 off with the code: S16EVT ($10 off orders exceeding $100, Ends Jan 31)

Translates to a pair of Overnight Sensations for $108 + free shipping.

More of a general deal, but Intel's retail edge program; pretty much if you can prove you work in retail; is selling brand spanking new Intel I7-6700k's for $135 and I7-6850k's for $208 each. Some of the best cpu's in the enthusiast market. (Sorry North America only (Yep that includes canada))
