The Deals Thread

Tubedepot.com is having a 10% off sale for EVERTHING on the site with code JAN30. Now would be a good time to buy an Elekit TU-8600 300b

 

DJTechtools is having a warehouse sale with a B-stock HD600 for USD$199 (scroll down a little). New and sealed, box slightly damaged according to them. I know most people would probably go for the 6XX, but hey, options!

Elear at $549. The seller has lifetime 99% rating on Amazon. Seems legit as far as I can tell. Would be tempting if I hadn't just bought an HD600. Who am I kidding? It's still tempting.

cheapest I've seen stateside.

 

Sold in singles and max per order is 1, wut? Seems like a good deal for people outside of NY though, due to taxes.

I have a pair of shorter cables I used for a Schiit stack. I do not like them. They are stiff and the ground doesn't always properly connect so I get noise until I move the cable around. I bought AmazonBasics as a replacement and I prefer them far more.

 

I believe the question was referring to the monolith cables, not the “premium” cables, which I also don’t like much.

 

Agreed, the Monoprice Premium (not the Monolith) cables are quite irritating- they are stiff and the plugs are chunky enough that I cannot insert them independently into the L/R ports, they have to be inserted simultaneously.

Looks like a good deal if the price won't pick up. Don't look at the different branding as only Ken Rad made that tube regardless of the brand. I've gotten some good deals this way and this is a great 2A3 tube, one of the best. No affiliation of any sorts. I would get this if I didn't have two pairs already so might as well share my thoughts.
