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

[Freeway]

Revel Concerta2 and JBL HDI lines of speakers are on sale at 30% off, available at all dealers, until the end of the year, in the USA. This post above shows JBL HDI pricing at Crutchfield, for example, and someone added that Best Buy offers a better deal.

The JBL HDI line of home theater oriented speakers is 30% off currently. Link and prices shown are at Crutchfield, but should be available at all dealers until the end of the year. HDI is a high quality line equivalent to Revel Performa 3s, except with JBL horns instead of Revel domes, and floorstanders are 2.5-way instead of Revel 3-way.

HDI-1200P subwoofer, 12", 1000w, $3300 --> 2310.
HDI-3800 floorstander, 3 x 8", $2750 --> 1925.
HDI-3600 floorstander, 3 x 6.5", $2090 --> 1463.
HDI-4500 center, 4 x 5.25", $1925 --> 1348.
HDI-1600 standmount, 1 x 6.25", $990 --> 693. Stands not on sale @ $440 pr.

I find it interesting that Music Direct has had the JBL HDI-FS speaker stands for HDI-1600 on sale for $330.00 (new) since July, but raised the price back up just in the last couple days.

I've been working mainly on my blog for deals lately, but wanted to post these since the first two are really good, and the other one is out of production.

Sabaj A20H amplifier $70 used good for $78 new. I have one of these it competes with anything I've got. Only downside is the XLR plugs are upside down, and everything is in the back for connectors, so 6ft headphone cables are pretty much a must.

Amazon.com

SMSL C200 USB DAC Headphone Amplifier $109 used. I just bought two and there's one left

Amazon.com

Monolith Liquid Platinum Headphone Amplifier $387 used
I've had a couple of these and planar magnetics sounded especially good, just with the stock tubes.

Amazon.com

On a side note, I found my favorite XLR cables after they came with a bundle of other stuff. So nice I'm going to stick with them depending on the stack. The value for money winners are:

Audio 2000s the 1 foot is actually shorter (like 7 inches) but if you have a matching stack, they fit perfect, $25 for six.

Amazon.com

GearIT XLR to XLR Microphone Cable $12 for a pair. These are actually 1 foot of cable. If you have a stack that doesn't match exactly and need a little length to line them up, they're really good. I usually buy the six pack for $32 and they currently have them at 10 percent off.

The entire point of stands is to raise things back up

Underrated comment.

 

[beefkabob]

Underrated comment.

We cannot take that uplifting stands comment sitting down. To do so would be costly.

 

[Fahzz]

We all stand for stands!

 

[Fahzz]

You're standing down?

Sorry- had to.

 

[Veri]

Would've thought there'd be no jokey puns in a deals thread

I stand corrected

 

[beefkabob]

That's understandable, but we should withstand the standards stance since standards stagnate.

As tanned as I am, I'll not be the last and not the first and not the best to say this.

 

[AlexHRider]

I would buy one of them as a standalone

 

[Veri]

This some real stand up comedy right here

For the sake of those who have email alerts on this thread, can we get back to deal talk?

JBL 305p II
$109.99 each @ woot(an Amazon company for those who don't know of it)

https://electronics.woot.com/offers/jbl-professional-2-way-powered-studio-monitor-2?ref=w_cnt_lnd_cat_elec_6_42

Very decent price, though I suspect during holiday sales they could/will go lower if you are able to wait.

I'm outstanding.

You can withstand our humor.

Walmart has Apple AirPods w/ Charging Case (2nd Generation) for $89.

Robot or human?

Prime Day: IK ILoud Micro Monitors $200/pair. Good price.

Also Prime Day: HiVi-Swans DIY Kits/ 3.1A and 2.2A 20% off.

Prime Day: A lot of the Sabaj Amps/Dacs are reduced.
-----Of note for Cheapskates The Sabaj Da2 2in1 USB Stick Headphone Amp DAC is $18.84. It's a rebranded SMSL Idea that Amir liked in 2 tests at $86. Note it is older and has a micro USB input.

Prime Day has the original Loxjie D40 (not Pro) for $238. Full featured premium DAC and OK headphone amp. Amir and ASR votes Happy Panther.

I just got a Sabaj A10d for $169, I see the Topping DX3 Pro+ is $175 for prime day. Is either one a more compelling option for driving HD6XX?

There is no compelling reason to choose one over the other for the HD6XX. The DX3 Pro+ has a bit more power at 300 Ohms, but both have more than enough. Amir's tests show both models driving his near electronically identical HD650 perfectly. I own the A10d (2022) and prefer its features/ergonomics. NOTE, this is not the right thread for this question I think.
