    Not much of a deal, Amazon dropped the price of the HD 650 to $306.13. Free one day Prime Delivery for those looking for that last minute gift for your spouse. :p

    Chesky's entire catalog is 25% off at hdtracks.com. No coupon code necessary. It's been mentioned multiple times here but if you've never heard Macy Gray's excellent vocal jazz album Stripped then this would be a good time to pick it up. One mic and recorded in an old church - it has a great spaciousness and the music is good. Also, several people have been talking about Amber Rubarth lately. She has at least one album on Chesky too that was recommended by one of the contributors to Inner Fidelity's 2017 Christmas list.

    Edit: Rubarth has 2 albums on HDT. I just picked up Sessons from the 17th Ward. Nice binaural sound with good DR. I love her cover of Wait's Hold On.

    Ok, now I want to try this album. I love single mic/venue recordings. I just dig how intimate the sound is, and the interplay of performer/surrounding.

    Along the same lines, and new-to-me, is Cowboy Junkies Trinity Session. Also recorded in a church with a single mic, and can be quite “haunting”... in a good way.

    The Chesky RA talks about their setup and recording process in a short interview here if anyone is interested.

    B&H has a deal going on for the next 6 hours on the JBL LSR308's that i have never seen lower in the last 6 months since i've been considering getting active monitors and keeping an eye out... $129 each and i don't see any mention of used, refurbed, open box or anything of the sort, appears to be a great deal on new speakers. Hard to turn down at this price point...

    https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/998215-REG/jbl_lsr308_sr308_8_2_way_powered.html


    Couldn't resist... $258 Shipped for a pair and they are supposed to be here by tuesday! Can't beat that!

    Price for these is now $3,700 CAD. Might not be a great deal compared to what you can get in the US (especially if you're willing to try to fleece on border tax), but getting stuff up here is generally a pricy endeavour.
