The Deals Thread

nuyiniu jlo also sells this:

Jessie&letty 32cm Emoji Pillow / Shit Pillow / Plush Pillow / Emoticon Cushion / Plush Pillow / Poo Pillow Funny Cushion Pillow Poo Shit Shaped Cushion Pillow Stuffed Plush Soft Toy(shit)

 

I think I have made up my mind. Although it looks like I would not lose money (A-to-Z Guarantee Protection), I just don't want the hassle.

 

Good point @a44100Hz stolen had not crossed my mind.

Definitely a no-go. I don't want a "bargain" like that.

 

nuyiniu jlo is off of amazon now. You can still get this from other sellers, though.

 

Yes, Amazon sellers who look too good to be true are one of the big scams du jour. Avoid.

 

The Deal Devil strikes again!

 

it's an on-going scam, new seller in market place selling items for amazing low prices, disappears in a few days and you'll never get the item.

..is still listing b-stock Andromedas for $849.

 

I wonder why the big decrease in price on the Andro b-stock. A batch with bigger imperfections? Or a repricing due to them not selling at the previous price (it was $999 IIRC). I can get new pair here at a discounted price of $990. The b-stock shipped to me by FedEx International Priority is $890. The difference would be the 3-month warranty and whether I could get warranty service locally.

 

Yes, yes, and yes. I've seen the same thing with HD800s-new seller, too-good-to-be-true price. Stay away!

 

I've got a 40% off coupon code for Sonarworks if anyone wants it...pm me. This software is the best plugin I've used by far, amazing with the hd800.

 

Audio Advisor has a few VPI Classic 1's for $1,999 - only listed in the print mailer so probably order by phone only (PN: VPICL1NOS_WAL).

 

ALO has B-stock Andro's ($850) back in stock:

Well. I dont know about others' experiences but I ordered a B stock Orion during the Black friday sale and there was a surface scratch on one side, which wasnt visible really unless you looked for it under the right light angle. But then a few days later I was on a train and it was sunny so I did notice that the right and left sides were very different - the nozzles/ports looked like they were mismatched because one side had a countersink while the other did not.

I spoke to the guys at CA and they said that this was because the B stock IEMs (atleast the Orions) were sonically matched pairs from different iterations. I wasnt too happy about it so they offered a refund or to exchange for a better matched pair visually (and sonically as well of course). They are currently on the way so let's see.

While I only had the original pair a few days, I didnt hear anything off but it was my honeymoon period. I sent it back to them immediately and didnt spend time looking for sonic differences - they do seem to know what theyre doing so I guess we can trust them on that claim..

NOTE: This is not a post to crap on CA, they were very accommodating when I sent them messages but I thought this information should be shared with people planning to get a B stock item.

 

Does anyone happen to have a JRiver discount code bigger than the $10 ones that are floating about online? Tempted to pull the trigger, if I can get a nice deal.

 

Where's the $10 ones? I need to sign up as my trial is over and I really liked the layout of everything.

(Also looking for a steeper discount if you find anything)

 

The easiest $10 one is "ritz". It works, I just used it *cough*.

 

Great, thanks!

 

Is this a good price for a new Classic 1? What is a good price for one used?
