    Some AliExpress vendors have been known to bump up prices before 11/11 to make their "deals" look good.

    I’d say about ~92.327% American vendors do that too!

    I can talk for all of Europe but Portugal, England, Spain, Germany and Sweden do the same. They just use different ways of doing it, to circumvent the laws and use the loopholes they offer.

    Herbie's Audio Lab has Tenderfeet and SuperSonic Stabilizers on sale today for 25% off with the code VETERAN https://herbiesaudiolab.com/

    The cost of tenderfeet adds up, so I am going to jump on order a few sets. Seriously considering going off the audiophile nervosa deep end and ordering a couple supersonic stabilizers to experiment with.

    EDIT: Couldn't bring myself to jump on the stabilizers...I mean just slightly heavy discs you set on top of gear? Maybe someday I will sus out whether that is snake oil or not. Tenderfeet and other isolating products I have tried from Herbie's have all been legit though.

    The fat dots if he still makes them de-couple a speaker from a stand and make a more solid musical result when compared to my 40 years of spiking speakers and/or stands.

    For sure, fat dots under my LS3/5A were a very obvious improvement over blue tack. I have liked his glider products in place of spikes. I also have used the fat grounding bases under the feet of my non-audio furniture in the living room and so far has isolated a turntable well that is sitting on it. So far only have tenderfeet under my Yggdrasil, but just ordered for amp/SW51+/phono stage. Will be interesting to see the difference.

    For any who are into that kind of thing, Audeze BF sales are up.

    Other deals also have the SR1a for $2900 (Headphones.com, Bloom, etc.).

    What's catchy with the Drop deal is the 29k reward points, which equates to $290 off, so definitely worth it for those thinking of picking up something else from Drop.

    If anyone hears of a great Qobuz deal like 12 months of the price of 6 or something of that sort let me know. They will have to do something now that Tidal is giving away MP3 for free.

    And for the classical buffs, here is something from Qobuz that may be of interest. 30% off a Danish label.

    EDIT: This link may be more inclusive of the current deals on downloads.

    Lots of Campfire Audio Black Friday treats here: original Andro (new for $800), Solaris flower ltd edition ($1300), Holocene ($500).

    More CA deals from headphonesdotcom here: Ara ($900, i.e. ca. 30% off), Vega 2020 ($550), and Dorado 2020 ($800).

    Also ALO Deals on b-stocks and used IEMs (here), including such old favorites as the Lyra II ($500), original Dorado (new old stock, $600), b-stock Jupiter CK ($550), and b-stock Polaris ($350) and Polaris II ($400).

    I think those ALO Deals are supposed to go lower at 9am. CA says this week in an email to mr: "A code to add an additional 20% off will ben available starting Monday 11/22. The "original" price on the deals site is the original retail price, and the "sale" price is the normal cost for b-stock. So if you wait to use the code you will get an even better price :)"

    Nvm. Code is at top of page. Went live early.
