Been busy this week with a lot of stuff, and finished my highly energy efficient gaming system to keep office temps down (works great). Summer can be slow finding deals with everyone on vacation, very few eBay listings compared to usual. Here’s a bunch with enough of a discount to be worth checking.

Linsoul SIMGOT EA500 10mm Dynamic Driver in Ear Monitor $79 with a 10 percent off coupon also

I just got a pair of these and they’re my new daily drivers to replace the Truthear Zero Blue. The red nozzle sounds like the Blue Zero, and the black nozzles really sound just like the Red Zero.

SMSL HO200 Headphone Amplifier new $359 and a $72 off coupon too

S.M.S.L SP400 Headphone Amplifier new $440

SMSL DO300 Balanced MQA DAC new $549 and a $83 coupon also

Also same used very good condition for $339

Topping D10 Balanced used, silver $89

Topping L50 amplifier (silver, used) $143

Topping D10s Mini USB DAC (silver, used) $80

Topping D90SE MQA Full Balance HiFi DAC 9038Pro
black, used $660
silver, used $672

Topping D90LE HiFi DAC Bluetooth 5.0 ES9038PRO used, $679

TOPPING A90 6.35mm Headphone Amplifier - used, black $363

Linsoul TINHIFI Wireless Tin Buds - New $89 with also a $20 coupon

Linsoul TINHIFI P1 Plus - New - $169 and a $50 coupon as well

on Ebay currently:
I don’t know the seller, but I watched it and he sent $399 offers, so I know he’ll accept it for the Hifiman Ananda Stealth

Beyerdynamic T90 $199

I’ve had a couple of these, that’s the Jubilee edition that was $699 new on Amazon when they came out. It sounds like a more V shaped DT880, kind of in between it and the DT990. I think they only made like 500 of that chrome jubilee edition. The micro-velour beyerdynamic pads for those are $90, but the DT series fits them too.

Hart Audio Cables has 15 percent off their TC line of interconnects (not just XLR, I saw 4.4mm, RCA, etc.).

The emails says it gets applied at checkout automatically.

Studio Economik (up in Canuckistan) has an up to 20% off promo for Focal headphones:

they do ship to the US, but do not cover customs / brokerage. if you’re after some Focal cans, check local pricing as perhaps their pricing will be better after exchange, as they are quoted in CAD funds. :wink:

headphones and apos as well

Interesting LDAC receiver, with a lighting deal and a 30% coupon, it is running for $60. Seems low enough for integrating with my revamped speaker setup.

I spotted this on eBay and makes for a good combination

Sennheiser Drop HD6xx used without cables $99 with free shipping. They have 12+ of them for sale.

Faaeal balanced 4.4mm cables for Sennheiser for $15.99 (I’ve gotten several of these and they’re nice)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09KRQ7S4C/

Youkamoo Sennheiser XLR 6.6ft balanced cables $23.99 (I’ve gotten many of these too, work terrific)

https://www.amazon.com/Youkamoo-Replacement-Compatible-Sennheiser-Headphones/dp/B0B5PHNH1S/

For $125 you can put together a balanced HD6xx. We have one of them on the SMSL M300SE downstairs with the 4.4mm cable and sounds great.

First off this is not my classified ad…If any of you guys are looking to get a quality tube amp this is a great starting point at a really good price. This is the 1st version of the WA6. The first version uses all of the popular 6 tubes…I have the 2nd version of this amp and love it…If I was buying this I would buy a Brimar CV1863 rectifier tube from Langrex for around $60 and then figure out what driver tubes to use. There are a lot of threads of to lead you in the right direction.

Though I can’t necessarily vouch for the store (no experience), didn’t want to forego the opportunity of sharing this seemingly great deal on the Odin:

Thanks, got the Space nicely discounted! Cheers :beers:

For anybody thinking about Sundara closed backs:

I’ve had a few of them. They don’t have aN ASIO driver for USB/Windows but ASIO4ALL works perfectly. The slow filter really does rolloff the upper treble which is nice for bright Beyerdynamic models. No mqa, Bluetooth, or a remote. It’s for the purist. The size of a router you need an A90 or THX789 to match it in size. I put together 2 stacks with the matching amp, and the sound does not disappoint with stock tubes, especially with planar magnetics.
