Best Places to Buy Headphones and Gear

I guess it’s worth mentioning here that I purchased my open box 64 audio u12t from headphones.com and they actually sent me a brand new sealed u12t.

UK Audio Mart

I should point out that moon audio is also good for some more obscure items like Replacement earpads for Focal Headphones

I expanded and added a few locations if that’s okay

@M0N, could you please make this a wiki as well?

The whole point of making the 2nd post a wiki is so others can edit it lol, so just add your suggestions into the list is what I would say. But I do think it’s probably a good idea to differentiate between NA, Euro, and Aisa to keep things somewhat organized, so I’ll make it one as well for now

You can actually edit marcgii’s post and add it to the list yourself. I’ve been doing that a bit

Yeah, that was my point. Keeping the European stuff separate to make things clear

Added Canadian Stores

Added a few stores

Added Drop to US list - it is a sort of store.

Also, I’m thinking the list should be alphabetized so it’s easier to find everything. Thoughts?

I added a section for audio cables. I was trying to figure out what Hart audio cables typically cost but apparently nothing is available right now lol

Should we pin this thread? I think it will also be a good idea to also pin the formatting guide thread as well
Formating & Forum Advice Thread

Hart prices are showing up for me. Approx. $30 each + $15 for interconnects

That can also very if you decide to go custom, though it is detailed in the custom shop
Custom color: $2
Custom terminations: $10
Custom length: can very dependent on length and cable design

Damn guys thank you

Added Audiogon. Aside from Ebay, that should be all the noteworthy US stores for used gear

I started a similar thread a long while ago. I need to find it and add some of the stores we had there to this thread…if anyone can assist that is appreciated

I think I found it plus a couple others
