    So sorry - seems to have ended. However a search in the named site shows the elegia deal has popped up a few times before (small data points, huge extrapolation, but maybe it will pop up again in future at Adorama).

    Tempted by the Solaris but the 90 day warranty is no go on a 1000 dollar investment. If the issues are only cosmetic, then why wouldn't the full warranty minus cosmetic issues apply, as with ZMFs b-stock sale?

    I totally agree with you. Is the discount because of the imperfections or because the warranty is reduced? One has to wonder what their failure rate on their iems is if they don't offer a year warranty. Could they lower the cost of the rest of their new iems if they reduced their warranty to 90 days? It just makes the buyer ask: Why?

    So much good points, but I'm curious on the Polaris II bass cannon crap sound. @OldDude04 how bad was the Polaris II?

    I actually enjoyed the Polaris 2, but I'm an old school tried and true basshead. The bass hits incredibly hard with the Polaris and they can take a nice sized hike in the sub bass without distorting. The mids are ok if a bit scooped, and the highs were better than I expected. Worth the money if you're looking for a basshead IEM, but not if you're looking for a great all around IEM with a bass tilt.

    Going to have to think about it. I already have Andros and Solaris, and I'm looking for the MickyDs of IEMs.

    Edit: @OldDude04 I did it. I'm getting the overpriced B-Stock MickyDs just cause I'm curious. I don't need a mostly good IEM with a bass tilt.

    Time to wheel out my usual recommendation for High Def Tape Transfers. 25% (or more) off the usual prices.

    I've always had trouble finding stuff that I really want to own there. What are some of your faves that you've purchased?

    Nonesuch records typically has a 50% off sale on their downloads on Black Friday weekend.
    https://store.nonesuch.com/

    Merge Records has a 30% off order of $50 or more deal with the coupon code MERRYMERGE that ends tonight at 11:59p EST. then it's 20% off orders of $50 or more from 11/27-1/2
    https://www.mergerecords.com/shop

    I'm sure HDtracks will have a 20% off storewide sale, which they do periodically throughout the year (sign up for their spam list for notifications).
