(Europe) Master Deals Thread on Audio Product Sales

Glad you asked. I went to check and my gut feelings this looks very shady. Not obviously scam but very shady. I would rather be very careful
I dug deeper and
- they have no physical address
- no activity on social networks (1y old, essentially no post/interaction)
- they are not in Dirac reseller list !!!
- they sent a lot of spam with that "discount".
- Their "photos" are extremely blurry, sign of copying it from social media (fb etc.) https://www.texashifi.com/used/p/used/?itemId=marantz-cinema-30

all red flag. I would advise to stay away.
 

Good multichannel DAC pre amp with pre out, alas not so good under powered amps (see review on this site). Opposite of Denon AVR (lesser dac better amps). However, now with 15% discount using code it's just under €600,-. So there's economic room to add some Class D amps.

Thanks for the tip.
With the same discount you can get the x3800h for 832 euro though. This is tempting...

It is! Only problem is that the full dirac suite to make use of all the possibilities is 857 euro.

Audyssey will work just fine for most setup. I don't know why people have to have Dirac for the budget friendly avr
 
Like many of you I have been looking at this thread and other sites for bargains. I was interested in (needed...?) an upgrade of my surround system.
Almost bought the x3800h for 830 euro, see above.

However, I found a pair of kef Q750, kef C4 sub and a x2600h, all used of course, for less than the x3800h. 570 total, within 50 km of where I live.

The true bargains are in the second hand market...

You can still sell your x2600h and buy x3800h. XT32 is a big step up over XT. But of course if you are happy...
Some prices were hicked before the discount, but yeah, nice action.
True. Kef Q Concerto Meta was 400EUR just before christmas and even with this 22% it is more expensive now. But on other hand I snatched a Q6 Meta and pair of Q8 Meta.
Hidden-audio has slowly become a ASR EU go to shop. If only they get better EU shipping fees :D

Yes. Very good webshop. Yesterday was very busy day for them, friends from Poland (I am Polish but live in The Netherlands) have found really good deals there and posted them on pepper.pl (Wiim AMP Ultra - 450€, Dali Oberon 7 - 640€, Klipsch RP-600M II - 393€, KEF Q350 - 285€, KEF Q7 META - 1076€ ) were bought many times ).
Guys in Poland have also managed how to avoid high shipping fees, using 3rd party shipping company "Bodycar" which has warehouse in DE, so customers paid no shipping between Hidden Audio and warehouse, and from DE warehouse of Bodycar fees shipping to Poland were significantly lower :) Also VAT conversion (19% DE vs 23%PL) was avoided :)

I've helped many of them to buy their first real stereo and choose right instead op paying huge amounts and going deep into the rabbit hole.

Thanks for the pointer. Care to share the link to the service?

EDIT: found it, bodycar1. Too bad they are exclusively DE-PL cargo forwarding :D

Unfortunately service "Bodycar" operates only between DE--PL :( But I am almost sure that You will find something similar in Your country.

I wish I knew something like this in NL, while electronics in DE is much cheaper than here. Maybe @Romario knows more...

Congrats, but I've had the X2600 and had to connect an external DAC for better resolution in stereo.

For instance Shipping from Germany ( free) at €120,-
Fosi Audio ZD3 Bluetooth USB Desktop DAC ARC-, ES9039Q2M
