Used Deals Thread

Relative to all the overpriced offers for the Massdrop Noble X currently available this post on the reddit AVexchange seems more reasonable.
($200 shipped w/fees + $40 shipped w/fees for the Lightning cable)

Their eBay feedback is good although nothing recent as a seller, pending the arrival of the Lightning cable I bought from them I may be able to recommend the purchase.

Edit: lightning cable arrived functional and in good condition but seems overpriced based on its build.

 

Looks like a F5 snuck through US Audio Mart as owner didnt put F5 in title. Rawson is a great builder of DIY Pass Labs. If someone is looking for a HE6 amp, there is no better.

Used WA2 + Tubes for $1,200 CAD.

 

Surprised no one bought the upgraded Torpedo III for $1,000 on head-fi yet

HD 800 S $925 shipped: https://www.ebay.com/itm/252953869927

 

$25 to ship but still a very good price. Also looks like it might be missing the balanced cable which would account for the low price.

 

This could be a cheap tube amp for a Canuck with a soldering iron: http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649355457-headphone-tube-amplifier-my-loss-your-bargin/

 

Black Jot and Bifrost Multibit for $1150 cad. Stellar deal imo. I have this same combo new from Schiit and it was about $1600 new because I pay less tax.

Emotiva Stealth DC-1 DAC Preamp and Headphone Amp
$385 shipped
Not a great price, but these don't come up often anymore, and they are considered pretty good.

 

Someone make @Psalmanazar smile. Just kidding.

 

For the record I linked this to him and he said it wasn't worth it. He's moved on to bigger and better things.

 

A DNA Stratus is available in Europe...

That doesn't happen very often.

 

Are they? There is one on my local craigslist for $300

That's a great price.

 

NAD D3020 for $250: http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=150488.msg1610389;topicseen#new

Good price for a super compact integrated speaker dac/amp.

 

I thought you were building your own amps for that project weren't you?

I auditioned the D3020 a while ago at a local shop, feeding it coax from my laptop via a NuPrime uDSD acting as bridge. I believe the amps inside are Hypex UcD modules. I listened with my HE-6 and also some Paradigm floorstanders in the shop. Overall no complaints from the sound. I thought it was a bit cooler and snappier than my NuPrime IDA-8 (which is admittedly on the warm side of things). Easily a step up from the Topping amps.

 

ZDS just popped up on my Hifishark alert, which I guess means they can track Headfi again

I just realized this is an SBAFer, but it seems counter intuitive to not post because the seller is apart of SBAF, so here it is.
