    MusicDirect has 15% off open box with code MD15.

    I picked up the open-box JBL 4312g set they had for about half msrp. :punk:

    Couple of $20 savings at Drop: "for a limited time", HD58X for $150 (usually $170); and ending tonight, HE4XX for $160 (usually $180).

    I'd be tempted to wait, kinda wondering if we're going to see some really good deals around Thanksgiving/X-Mas.

    Last year they were doing HD6XXs for $160 as I recall with a free extra set of Dekoni ear pads.

    I have heard horror stories about open box LPs from monoprice, and does not come with a warranty. avoid avoid avoid.

    The price on it new has been that way for a while, a killer deal on a great amp. Lots of stories about really bad channel imbalance on new models though, so another reason to get the new one in case you need to warranty swap.

    Whoops, now I feel bad putting this up. Thanks for the heads-up @Inoculator and @lcmusiclover. I just looked at your thread @lcmusiclover and it reads like a horror story.

    I thought it was a good deal since I was seeing a few Liquid Platinums going FS around $500ish on other sites and it seemed like people like the amp. I can edit the post out if we want to steer people away from buying poorly QCed amps.

    hello,

    just when you thought this new affair would be over soon.

    a pair of the XS bundled with the BoomProMicrophone for $100, retail would be $215.

    https://www.v-moda.com/us/en/products/xs

    no indication for how long.

    ordered one to replace the household's trashed Crossfade M80.

    25% off most things at Matador Records now through 11/2
    Sale code: VOTEMATADOR

    Normally, I buy stuff off Bandcamp (on Bandcamp Fridays, in particular), but for whatever reason, some releases aren't available there.

    EDIT: actually, if you're into purchasing digital downloads (like me), this sale may not be great since most of them are mp3. Qobuz or 7digital have uncompressed files for not much more.

    This is a good videoconferencing setup on the cheap. I use the boompro mic with a pair of Thinksound ON2 but they were fine with an XS a few years back. My daughter used to use the XS/Boompro setup for a while before she got earrings.
