Master "deals" (massdrop, ebay, Amazon, etc.) Thread on Audio Product Sales

I use Planet Express with an Oregon address for tax-free purposes. I checked the shipping quote and it’s still abouy $100. That’s still cheaper than Japan, so I think I’ll bite, but I’m also eyeing an LSR310s. It’ll be one or the other. I need info in my low end and HPs aren’t enough.

No idea about Japan. I used to use Borderlinx but they were pricey. My current forwarding office is based in Oregon too, and it will cost me about US$60/- total to ship it to my doorstep. Adorama's direct shipping was US$280!!!

Off topic, but when you said Planet Express I had no idea it was a real company. I immediately thought you were referring to the "original" Planet Express ...

Bought it Thumbs up.
And cables included? Score...

It looks like it might be a pricing mistake -- the pair of 305p bundle is $231.19
Hope it ships out..

@Bamyasi Thanks!

On all my Android devices I activate Developer Options by clicking on Build Number a bunch of times (7? Or more) ..Under Developer Options. there is a Stay Awake option. This is supposed to keep the screen on while it's charging and I always activate it. Since I also usually keep it always plugged into the charger, I haven't noticed the screen turning off, so this may be a work-around.

But I haven't specifically tested this while casting to it for more than 30 minutes, as I currently use mine directly on a desktop with a D10.

Great idea, @Cahudson42, I'll give it a try! Developer options was the first thing I have enabled on mine but somehow the Stay awake option evaded my eyes. Checking it now. Thank you!

Sure kicks the crap out of the JBL direct price and much better than GC's price locally. I have absolutely zero reasons to buy yet another pair of monitors at this point... but I couldn't come up with a good reason not to if it's this cheap. Thanks for the notice... purchased.

Yeah...$182 delivered, for a pair, with a couple of XLR cables thrown in to boot...almost a no brainer. Had to give them a try.

I love my 708p's and 705p's. At that price it's hard to go wrong.

Haha... I had

The singular price for the 305p is US$89/-.
No point buying a pair at that price.

Anybody know any cheap desktop stands for these monitors?

These look nice but cost almost as much as the 5" speakers:

FYI I picked up the Soundrise stands for my newly ordered pair of 306p MKIIs.
If you order direct from the soundrise website (https://soundrisepro.com/collection...-studio-monitor-stands?variant=13510978371659)
They come up $150/pair. Enter promo code "Z" when checking out, takes off $30 bucks. (Thanks, Z reviews) I got it $120 shipped in CA.

I recently bought these for my desk:
https://www.alctron-audio.com/EN/Accessories/monitor-speaker-stands/MS182.html

The US dealer is a company called Astound Sound run by a guy named Noel.

Gear4Music and Thomann sell substantially the same product, though export costs to the US are high:

I like them but wish the top rotated. I may go back to my old stands, which are cobbled together from Ergotron monitor mount parts from eBay and PA pole mount adapters. Their poles are fortuitously 35mm, same as PA speaker stands.

The JBL 1 Series 104 Compact Powered Desktop Reference Monitors are $71.10 at several retailers right now, including Amazon and jbl.com. I picked up a set for my desk at work.

B&H Deal O the Day has these JBL 104 dual concentric monitors for $50 a pair shipped. Update: Sorry Sold Out.

Amazon UK have the Marshall Monitor wireless headphone for £98, sold by Amazon so should be legit.

These may not set audiophile juices running but if you want a robust pair of wireless headphones for travel use with good battery life and which sound good you can do a lot worse. At £98 they're worth a punt if you are looking for a pair of decent wireless headphones without spending too much.

Here's hoping we actually get them for that... they updated the page and the new price is the less inspiring (but much more likely intentional) price of $249.99

dbx is having a Black Friday (I guess) sale on some of their pro-oriented products. For example, if you go their site, the 223xs crossover is $20.00 off with free shipping and 30 day return deal. That's a 10% discount. The major guitar stores also have it on sale. Some of their other gear is reduced, also.

SVS SB-12-NSD black friday for $400. Return customer discount stacks.

I see that my order has partially shipped (cables and cleaning cloth). They better ship the speakers out...
