The DEALS thread

Don’t know. Yet to get hands on one.

Apparently, mid-focused, more than anything. Graphs:

“The headband is made of carbon and pads are soft and made of real leather or micro-suede (your choice).”

I emailed Audeze and asked whether their “leather-free” pad option was suede or alcantara (e.g. Vegan pads of the past), or synthetic leather.

Their support replied: “We no longer offer microsuede earpads, but have moved to a more “leather-like” material made with egg protein for our leather-free option.”

Sad since I’ve love to pick up another pair of vegan pads. Hey Audeze, why not sell vegan pads only to registered owners of your products?

I wonder how it differs from the LCD 4?

Yeah that’s a new thing. Dekoni “Earpadz” midnight also do that (oddly enough, not even available on their website, only on Earpadz.com).

Sorry for the off-topic.

A couple of things:

  1. Fiio FD1 in stock on 6/25 and going for $59.99.
  2. Urbanfun YBF-ISS014 in stock 6/28. Still the same price, $69.99, but this may be the revision with the improved mmcx connectors. I’d contact Linsoul just to double check.

EDIT Just had a thought. To avoid the spamming of the Deals Thread, maybe include the link of the discussion thread that your deal is linked to in case people wanted to chime in. Here ya go:

Worth a shot :man_shrugging: If I didn’t have a bhc coming I’d probably buy it but I’m downsizing not collecting lol

Keep in mind that the 1st production run batch of Eddie Current ZDT Jr. amps all had significant hum issues. This guy says that this amp has 0 hum issues…yet his serial number is 22? I call bullshit.

Just food for thought :wink:

Depends on what he’s listening with, the hum is present, but even before I shielded mine, it wasn’t terrible. The Verites are silly sensitive and they’re what made me shield mine.
It’s a 20 minute fix with $30 in parts.

The difference is this is on the used market for almost the same as the MSRP. Maybe I am too conservative when I shop for used gear, but that is enough of a red flag and enough of a hassle to fix than I’d be willing to deal with. Of course, just my opinion. Others may not be bothered by any of that one bit.

HeadAmp’s Gilmore Lite Mk2 Class-A headphone amp shows a price of $299 on HeadAmp’s amplifier page, but the product page shows the price as $499. Strange.

The amp is still $499. They are now offering a bundled option of the amp with an upgraded power supply for $799. The power supply by itself is $299, and the price you see listed.

I guess you can save a buck by purchasing the power supply and amp separately.

Thanks for the clarification of the rather meh deal.

Price is probably due to availability but I wasn’t aware they had an issue with noise floor… good to know… I posted it mainly because they’re highly regarded and getting harder to find

Nice deal on a used Lake people RS08. I was trying to solicit offers on one for a while before giving up and getting a RNHP
