    Both the E-mu Teak and E-mu Walnut are available directly from Creative Labs Singapore site at discounted price: http://sg.creative.com/p/headphones-headsets

    I think the discount will end in 6 days. The prices are in Singapore dollars

    The E-mu Teak has the latest iteration of old Denon D5000/D7000 drivers.

    Not sure if I stumbled upon that thru your post (thanks either way) , but I do think I bought the last one... :p

    Had been mulling it over for a week, they became unavailable yesterday with no return ETA on the deal, then it briefly showed back up last night and I leapt on it. Weirdly it had a March 16 ETA notice but it's already being shipped, yay...

    Gift card is already shipping out too, it's going right back into some more gear heh (JBL monitors).

    Kind of bizarre they'd been running that deal since last year, at least according to camelcamel.

    I ended up getting these MSR7s as a don't-care-if-stolen pair at work.

    Pros: easily driven by iPhone. Clean sound. Decent details at medium volumes. Lots of cables.

    Cons: Sound signature a little thin sounding. Noticeably grainy at high volumes; actually sounds really bad at high volumes.

    Overall: a little more satisfying than my beater Sony MDR-V6 and with more convenient cables so I'll be using these with my phone at work. If you already have closed cans I probably wouldn't get these and spend more on something better.

    Bottlehead mainline $200 off with coupon code mainlinemarch. From Bottlehead:

    It's Mainline March! From now through March 31st you can order our premium Mainline headphone amp kit and get a whopping $200 discount by using the coupon code published below.

    mainlinemarch

    To sweeten the deal we found another batch of the rare and exceptionally effective IERC tube shields, and we will include a pair with every Mainline kit order until they run out. The awesome sounding 6C45pi tube used in the Mainline is a hot little sucker and these shields should extend their useful lifetime by 10-15%.

    Use the coupon code mainlinemarch when you check out to get this special discount. Time to manufacture and ship will be our standard 4 or so weeks. Kits are shipped in the order that orders are received - order sooner, get it sooner.​

    From Bottlehead (highlighting mine):

    From today through next Friday, April 15th, when you buy a Crack headphone amp kit you can add the tremendously popular $125 Speedball upgrade kit for just $30. Yup, that's a $95 savings! We get a huge number of orders when we run this kind of special, and we are careful to ship the kits in the sequence that the orders come in. So the sooner you order, the sooner your kit will ship. As usual, we estimate the ship time to be around 4 weeks plus or minus a week or so.

    So much for the Crackses part. The death part is that, after an amazing 21 year run, we have decided to retire the S.E.X. kit. While the 6DN7 tubes used in the kit should be easily available to the end user via ebay or other sources, we have been struggling for some time to acquire them in the quantities we need to support production. We have just 5 S.E.X. kits left as of this morning. When they are gone, that's it!

    Thanks for the warning! I just saw it pop up on dealnews, which is normally pretty legit deals. I didn't check out the site.
