The Deals Thread

I picked one of these up for a relative and was really impressed with how great/easy to use the UI is. Sound-wise I didn't really notice any glaring errors, but I didn't hook it up to my main system. There's a Pro coming that looks interesting, too:

Helm Bolt dongle dac/amp $74 from Drop if you can wait 'til Dec 2 for (estimated) shipping:

https://drop.com/buy/helm-bolt-dac-amp

For immediate shipping, $126 from Helm Audio with a Helm hat (helmet?) or $109 from Amazon.

 

Hilarious that headphones.com knocks a grand off the open box LCD-5

Overpriced flagships are like cars, they lose an immense amount of value as soon as they're driven (off the lot).

 

That LCD-X 2021 would be the same one that people were talking about here and here, right? Very tempting.

@RestoredSparda

 

Thanks! Want a 2, but might buy this to get an idea of the SFD house sound.

Edit: I was able to snag it. Thanks for the heads-up @Clear Water!

 

You can always sell to other SBAFers once you find a SFD-2

 

Absolutely! 100% my intention to keep this in the SBAF family at a fair price if I snag a 2. I was able to grab this one!

 

For any into that kind of thing, Audeze annual sale starts at noon PST today. No prices listed. I can’t remember, but in past years, they didn’t list a start time and stuff goes very quickly.: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subs...acacda&m=01GH1X54K5WCPVE2HZ9AJZX4AB&r=W43FiaM

 

It already started, despite saying noon PST.

Heads up, a bunch of Yggdrasil's on @schiit 's website on "closeout".

I wonder why...

 

@Walderstorn, Schiit is clearing out stock of the Yggdrasils using the old chassis because they just released the Yggdrasil+ this week which uses a different chassis design.

See Jason’s profile post for more info

 

Focal Clear is on closeout for $839 on headphones.com: https://headphones.com/products/focal-clear-over-ear-open-back-headphones.

Listed as final sale and says this model has been discontinued. The email says this the lowest price at which they've sold these. No idea what other sale prices have been, but figured I'd share. Regular price is apparently $1,499, but the link above shows it as around $1,000, so something's not right there.

 

they've been slowly dropping the price & will probably continue to do so until they run out of inventory... I snagged mine for $990 during summer 2021. prices on the earpads have dropped a bit too... when I bought my Clears, extra pads were $99, but now they're $79...

 

FWIW, headphones.com is also selling the Utopia 2020 for $3990. You get the full 5-year warranty and 365-day return window.

You can also get an open-box Utopia 2020 for $3192. You get the full warranty, but sales are final.
