Linn Records is offering 20% off Easter recordings using code EASTER22: https://www.linnrecords.com/news-20-easter-recordings.

I like Linn a lot because they do not support MQA, and for many of their downloads they offer a 24/192 FLAC studio master option. They also have some recordings available on SACD.

I don't know Mahler super well, but have seen Benjamin Zander conduct the Boston Philharmonic a few times and think he's awesome. I own this recording of Mahler's 2nd symphony on SACD: https://www.linnrecords.com/recording-mahler-symphony-no-2-resurrection.

I've also recently (re)discovered the Dunedin Consort in Scotland and noticed that their recordings of Bach's Matthew Passion and John Passion and Handel's Messiah are on the list. They come highly recommended by Gramophone: https://www.gramophone.co.uk/features/article/the-50-best-johann-sebastian-bach-recordings.

 

Drop has a bunch of headphones marked down. Not sure how great a price some of them are, but Elex for $600 seems a deal. https://bit.ly/3KWGcc4

 

Not sure if this qualifies as a "deal" but given they have been out of stock for a while thought I'd share.

The RSL Speedwoofer 10S MKII will be available for preorder today at 12pm PT / 3pm ET: https://rslspeakers.com/speedwoofer10s-mkii/. $450 with free shipping; $25 flat rate return fee from CONUS.

I have no experience with them, but saw that Vanatoo has demoed their speakers with the predecessor of this subwoofer so thought folks may be interested. It's probably much better than the Dayton ported subs and could be a decent option for someone that wants something less expensive than a Rhythmik L12.
