The Deals Thread

This is what I was thinking. I would think a 20% off of A-Stock would be a Black Friday type deal. Nike is doing 25% off of clearance items that are already reduced and A-Stock - that makes more sense to me.

 

I'd agree that it's a bit of a confused message -- packaging B-stock as a limited-time only sale -- but I don't see anything wrong with Audeze promoting it in the way they are doing. It's a unique event for them as far as I'm aware, and they are very clear about what you are buying after you click through to the details. Seems like a smart business move to capitalize on Black Friday to generate interest and let shoppers make up their mind on how much they care about cosmetic imperfections in otherwise production-ready cans.

 

I wonder if they even brand it b stock in the serial.

 

What's up with Audeze resale value? I was always thinking their second-hand phones sell with minimum discount, that's why it does not make a lot of sense in getting a used one. Or are you getting to the fact that they are damaged and unsellable?

 

If those sellers disclose it..... :ninja:

 

hhhh, you must be fangzhang hao.

 

Hadn't considered the resale value angle, but resale wouldn't enter into anywhere near the top of my list of considerations if I was shopping for $1K+ headphones. SQ, FR, scalability, ergonomics, yes. Resale, not so much, but that's just me.

 

Svsound sb12nsd subwoofers on sale for $399. I have one and it rocks

 

Spendy, but actually a great deal on essentially my table: http://www.elusivedisc.com/VPI-Clas...nearm-SDS-Black-Oak/productinfo/VPI-TTCL3BBF/

That's the Classic Signature (aka: Classic III) with the 3D tonearm and with the SDS for $5000. Pretty solid deal.

 

15% all Bottlehead on Friday.

 

Sennheiser Momentum on-ear open box for $59.95: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_98631_Sennheiser-Momentum-On-Ear-Ivory-Like-New-Complete.html

They make good gifts - I gave one to my niece to try to introduce her to better-than-ibud headphone audio and she absolutely loved it.

 

If you're wondering, Thomann.de is a legit site. They're helping me through the process of getting a refund/replacement for an ESI Juli@ XTe I ordered from them.

The packaging was drenched in water when I received it from the USPS.

 

JDS Labs is giving away a free 3.5mm interconnect cable for free at midnights CST: https://www.jdslabs.com/products/16...k&utm_medium=BFgif&utm_campaign=11.26.FBBFGIF

Awesome gif:

 

Damn, that's screwed up.

But yes, not personally from Germany but this is one of the most legit sites that ships globally with no problems. And they have a pretty neat portfolio, with the lower dollar/euro it's well worth it. Just keeping in mind that the 30 days money back guarantee is Germany only, I do know they honor it for most country's local laws of return policy.

 

Sennheiser HD598SE (Black) for $95 at Amazon:

I've been waiting for this. Gonna order a pair when I'm back home.

 

Amazing deal. I just don't need these though. Would make a great gift for someone.
