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

[HighFutility]

This represents a significant increase in the posted sale price from past Revel sales.
By my calculation the F228Be price is up approximately 15% from $3450 to $3999.
You could purchase a new set of Revel F228Be for $6,000 on sale in Summer of 2024 from a good dealer. It's probably closer to $7,000 now.

Probably has something to do with Obama or Hunter Biden's laptop.

/S

You already know why the prices went up.

WiiM Amp Pro - discounted on Amazon.

EDIT: With same-day delivery I got it yesterday, and even had time to set it up and swap out the older amp in my secondary listening room—including running the room correction, which was ridiculously easy to use. I just wish they offered a model with PEQ and a trigger input as well.

WiiM ultra has trigger out

The fatal failure with WiiM’s “pro” devices is no AirPlay, not no trigger.

In other news, has anyone used AKG’s N5 TWS? Looks like Harman has a decent Labor Day sale on them if they’re good.

 

[Power Pop 23]

Some WiiM streaming devices support Airplay 2 and some do not. A kludgy workaround to this fatal failure is to connect a WiiM streamer compatible with Airplay 2 to a WiiM streamer that is not compatible with Airplay 2 - either physically or by 'grouping' them.

Amir has reviewed Peachtree Audio's 'Nova 300' and 'amp500'. I believe, but don't know for certain, that the Nova 500 uses the same amplifier as the amp500.

Peachtree is also selling used 'Nova 300' integrated amplifiers starting at $999 - they does not advertise differential architecture for the '300'.
