    That's in Aussie dollars and it converts to $1025 USD. Not too bad for the original MG stack.

    Edit: Oh nvm, for just the mjolnir. LOL wtf

    Getting Schiit stuff in Australia is expensive. MJ2 is 1650AUD from the only reseller I could find. Would hazard a guess if you order direct it's not much cheaper.

    Anyhow, not my sale. Only pointing out the price isn't total lunacy. :)

    I was hoping for an explanation like that, thanks.
    I guess it's the schiiping that kills.

    The close out price for a new Mjolnir in Melbourne was less than what thay guy is trying to pull. It's utter lunacy to think you can get that price.

    Don't forget GST/import duties since it's valued over $1000AUD. Unless they changed that recently?

    I'm pretty sure Addicted to Audio was selling it for around $900 during close out.

    Bottlehead BeePre 300B preamp: http://www.ebay.com/itm/231802510356

    A couple of disclaimers about this "deal":
    -- The seller is a good friend of mine
    -- I built this preamp for him (for fun). I'm actually a little sad he's selling it, but he's updating his whole setup and wants a preamp with a remote.

    Yes, this is an awesome set. I only hate to think about how much I spent on it when it was first initially released in what was thought to be only a limited release. But I have gotten much enjoyment out of that set and I do not believe (although correct me if I am wrong) that those mono discs are streaming on the various services; I think they have just the stereo ones.

    You're correct. The 2009 stereo remasters are all that are streaming, not the mono or U.S. Albums. The Beatles sale looks to be over for music/films as of today though...

    Edit: also the 1 remaster from 2015 it looks like.

    Thanks to you, I grabbed the Vinyl Mono box set this morning at the sale price! Shortly thereafter, they ended the deal. It's like someone realized "crap, the deal is still up"

    I have the CD Mono box set, but apparently the Vinyl is remastered differently and from the original tapes through an analog chain only, so I thought this would be worth getting. Again, thanks!!

    [link to "cute" on HF]

    I would never buy anything from that seller because he takes advantage of people. So you don't think I'm talking behind his back, I told him what I think of him here--and that's the self-censored HF version.

    Has anyone else had their backordered Beatles vinyl mono box set order canceled with no notice! I went to check the website and it said that they canceled my order. I called and was told that they were informed by the manufacturer that they will no longer be receiving this set anymore. It's also been taken off of their site (even at the full price).
