The DEALS thread

Used Anandas for a much more “Sundara” price:

Dunu SA6 Ultras for $400 rather than original price / higher that many are trying to get based on the limited run:

Dang what a day/night.

Audeze LCD1 unused for 220:

The fact that the Trifecta, a CA product through and through, is very contentiously tuned should surprise… no one? Nonetheless, I’ll be the first to admit that deviation from any conventional, and even ubiquitous target curve is a welcome change. The Trifecta may be too bold of a tuning for me, however, at least on paper. But, that price is a hell of a LOT cheaper than their suggested retail.

Can someone on eBay just offer the guy 200 or 210 USD for his Penon Dome so I can stop checking the price drops?

Or buy it now for $225.
