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

Emotiva Memorial Day sale is up, 25% off AVR and processors and 15% off on everything else I believe.

Use code: XAMPS15
 
Here's some good deals this week from a few different places. None of the eBay listings are mine, I'm Dunring there also, so no conflict of interest.
If the Amazon the "sold by" is Hifi-College, Aoshida-US, or SMSL Factory Store they include a 1 year warranty on used items, the same as new ones. If it's sold and shipped by Amazon Warehouse you can still in the first year get the Asurion protection for $16.99/month. It applies to all electronic purchases covered in the last 12 months (used and new). It's a nice backup plan to get a warranty from Warehouse purchases if you need it in the first year.

Usually it's been one pair for $25 but they just added a six cable pack for the same price.
Audio2000 Six pack of 6" black interconnects $25 I get the 1 foot length for some things, but these shorter ones are nice for matching stacks where the cable connectors line up close to each other.

Their copywriting is humorous:

"Learn how to:

  • make amplifiers with apparently impossibly low noise
  • design discrete circuitry that can handle enormous signals with vanishingly low distortion
  • transform the performance of low-cost opamps
  • build active filters with very low noise and distortion while saving money on expensive capacitors
  • make incredibly accurate volume controls
  • make a huge variety of audio equalisers
  • use load synthesis to make magnetic cartridge preamplifiers that have noise so low it is limited by basic physics
  • sum, switch, clip, compress, and route audio signals
  • build simple but ultra-low noise power supplies
  • be confident that phase perception is not an issue

I just bought two F226Be for $4400 so something else to consider
 
Kicking the weekend off early:

KZ x HBB PR2 13.2mm Planar Driver in Ear Monitor new $26.99
I just ordered a pair for travel with the phone and Apple 3.5mm to USB adapter. Planar IEMs for $27...wow. I've had them before and like the tuning. The 7hz Timeless original is better, but not that much better for the price difference.

SMSL DO400 Full Balanced DAC Headphone Amplifier ES9039MSPRO $349 used with 1 year warranty.
I bought four of them last month and have another coming tomorrow. 3 watts into 32 ohm it's a deal at $349. There's new firmware available and it's pretty easy to flash (the new SMSL utility will skip over an invalid firmware so you can't brick it with a wrong version).

Hart Cables started their Midyear sale today. Coupon code Midyeargear24 for 15 percent off.
Hifiman has a sale if you bought their headphones from an authorized dealer, it's 20%-30% off their headphone amplifiers.

If you ship stuff under 1lb like cables or ear pads, Stamps & Co has 20 percent off their 100 roll Forever Stamps which I get for $29 and free shipping normally.
HB37-KHMT-F6N2 code for 20% off everything and free shipping.

None of the eBay listings are mine, I'm Dunring there also, so no conflict of interest.

I'm using optical USB cables into a powered hub and the noise floor is complete silence. A huge fan of these if you have noisy ports or a powerful desktop PC.
Optical USB cables don't do well with adapters to A or B, I tried and it causes music playback timeout errors. Use a USB hub with an input port that's USB-C. I use an inexpensive Yottamaster since it has USB-C for data and for power on the other side. My sine wave UPS has those plugs on the front.

SMSL SH-8s Headphone Amplifier $109
Kingpin for IEMs with it's 95 score on the ASR 50mv test, only the Topping L30 II scored higher. The SH-8s runs cool too, if thermals in the room are an issue.

I just ordered a new Denon AVR 4800 from Amazon Prime for $1500, which is cheaper than the current price of a 3800, by $199. I assume new models are not far behind, but with a couple of gift cards, I couldn't resist.
 
For those looking for a highly rated 2.1 sub sat desktop system deal. Woot.com today has the Razer Nomo V2 wired system for $150
The V2 was released in 2023, normal price is $260-$300 depending on retailer. Audio connection is through USB-C or Bluetooth.

It has the same audio performance/properties as the $450 V2 PRO, but it's subwoofer is wired and it does not come with the Wireless Audio Control Puck.
There are very few reviews of the V2, but the V2 Pro with wireless and puck has lots of reviews online. Most PRO reviews are very good.
 
Audio Advice has 20% off all Anthem AV and processors in the home theater line until June 30th, also believe they do use affirm which is a great tool to split those payments into 6 for 0% interest usually.

Shiny black end caps, the 8mm fits RCA and Coax, and the 6mm fits over a bluetooth antenna adapter.

3M double sided pads which are nice for fastening things down like a USB hub.

Cable organizers, lot of different styles of these. I also get the rolls of velcro to custom snip the size needed.

Amp 10 ~4600 and available now. That’s a pretty chill deal for 16 channels. Only thing I don’t like is a 1 year warranty
