The DEALS thread

The AliExpress 11/11 sale starts in 1 hour. A reminder they just added more coupons like the $100 off $500 or more purchase an hour ago. Great time to get the app to max out savings. Going to stack with a cash back card as well and use coins if possible.
If you have a Capitol one card, put stuff in your shopping cart, the login to Capitol One to the discount offers, then click through to complete the order and get all the discounts along with any on the credit card itself. If you have a tax certificate, you can order and then request a refund later if you send them your info. They now support US resellers for it.

So tempted to get these. I have the pa5 and it pairs well with the KEF q350.

Woot has some neat stuff:

Mitchell Acoustics TT2 Belt Drive Turntable $149

Pyle 1000W Bluetooth Vacuum Tube Amplifier Stereo Receiver $119

Knox Gear LP1 Powered Bookshelf Speaker with Bluetooth - 30Watt x 2 $49/pair free shipping

BALDR Portable Power Station, 120V Pure Sine Wave AC Outlet, Backup Lithium Battery Power Supply, 330W | 288Wh $129
Supports use while charging, seems like a good source to take to shows.

Aliexpress Specials (collect coupons to stack the big ones on top of these prices). Also stack any cash back credit card, and Capitol One has a login portal link to hit for an additional 3 percent off plus any you get from your card. If you have a tax certificate, they accept U.S. buyers for it, and you can email them the info and request a refund of taxes after the purchase.

The Topping DX1 DAC/Amp is only $84.15 on Linsoul right now. I still rank this as the best starter headphone amp. It also works as a DAC, so you can run it to something with more power, if you need to upgrade later.

Also worth noting the DX3 Pro+ is only $169.15 there too.

$100 off?! What? :exploding_head: That’s gotta be store-specific tho, right?

How on earth is a 500mw @600ohms amp so cheap? Oo

The power ratings above 32 Ohm are a mistake (or lie?).

The A10h says 1W at 32 and 500mW at 300. Measurement show it just a normal linear power output. Means around 120mW at 300 Ohm.

Nonetheless I can recommend the A10h and the A20h. Had the A10h 2 times. Once as my main amp and later again as a preamp between a qudelix 5k and a topping a30pro (remote control R2R volume control).

Schiit Audio just added 10 units of Bifrost 1 to their close out section for $399. I guess they found some extra parts. Schiit Audio: Audio Products Designed and Built in Texas and California

I mean they are still expensive, but if you are in the market for one anyway it’s a damn good deal
