    I think this was still recently traded in head-fi for around usd1000 used. Geez. The buyer probably thought he got a good deal, while he could've bought new at usd800.

    Original owners for usd2000 sure got burned too.

    Store wide 25% off means their regular margins are pretty damn high.

    Yeah, I know right! The orange/yellow of the wood and the intense figuring gives it a sorta inferno appearance. It's super tempting, but right now all my funds are saved up for the verite...

    The Music Room in Colorado is moving and is having a 5% off sale today. Some items are priced a little high for used, but some are decent deals. Use code FRIDAYFIVE at checkout

    Here a link to the personal audio section:
    https://tmraudio.com/personal-audio/

    I think the MHA-150 McIntosh amp for $2799 - 5% is a decent deal ($2659)

    Someone might find something nice there.

    They also have an HD800 for $816 that might be tempting

    I've had good luck with The Music Room in the past. Purchased a phono pre amp about 6 months ago go and regularly follow their inventory. Maybe their prices are listed a bit high, but just like every used shop that sells anything, prices are negotiable.

    They seem to rate conservative, decent prices on shipping, disclose everything they know about the item, and have constant flow of gear.

    @bixby did you have a specific run in with these dudes? Would be interested to hear.

    If anyone has a line on legit good deals on lossless music downloads for Black Friday then please post it here. Tangible items mostly don’t apply to me since I’m in Asia but I’d love to find some discounted Download deals.

    Personal experience is that they lie on the description of equipment and do not disclose everything they know, lets leave it at that. But hey lying is the new normal for some people.
