I’ve been struggling to make ends meet in the past few months. My reviews take a lot of time to write, format, choose the creative direction, and also research. For this reason, I have decided to stay up to date with Apos Audio’s latest deals and discounts. I will be posting affiliate links for these findings (if it is against the ToS, please let me know and I will stop). Apos Audio has not contacted me to do this, I just used their affiliate program in the past and had a positive experience with it. Thanks to everyone who understands.

$250 HiFiMan Sundara
I kind of miss my set at times…something with the mid bass I didn’t really like to well. But other than that for me they are an absolute awesome set…hope your doing good brother
Ahhhh shit, man. Best of luck to you and your fam, I hope you get better quickly, brother. We too got a nice storm up here in Boston. There’s one passing over us right now, but it’s 50 degrees out. Just 2 days ago we got 5 inches of snow… crazy ass weather.
I’d check the ASR measurements they did on it first. It didn’t measure well. I have an SMSL DL200 and it’s excellent, even a used Topping DX5 or EX5 would be better (I have those also). I usually really like Aune stuff, it’s just this one didn’t do so well under testing.
Everything else is used, but these first couple are new.
I just got them and for surge protectors it’s my favorite purchase this month. 1 foot long and UL listed. I don’t have to give up spots on my battery backup when using a power brick that hogs 3 spaces.
DEWENWILS 10 Pack Short Extension Cord New $18.99 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0891TSBXC/
The price on the six packs really brings the price down. Just got them for the connectors, which under heavy use still fit smoothly. Some cheap ones unscrewed on me, these are more confidence inspiring. Compared to a single pair the price is easy to live with.
6 Units - 1 Foot - Canare L-4E6S, Star Quad Balanced Male To Female Microphone Cables New $61.95 https://www.amazon.com/Units-Balanced-Microphone-Amphenol-Connectors/dp/B074XXN84M
Got one of these this week when they went on a small sale to replace an older switching UPS that didn’t have network cable protection or USB output.
CyberPower CP1000PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS System, 1000VA/600W $164 new
Hard Shell Storage Case Travel Box for Sennheiser or Beyerdynamic Headphones $6.24 and free shipping if you buy $10+ I get these all the time and they will fit the HD600/650/6xx and also the DT770/880/990 fits in them too. It’s a really nice hard case, but I’d order at least two so they ship stacked and don’t get crushed (they arrive unzipped, so two really protects them best). https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805860700281.html
(P)Leather EVA Digital Storage Bag $1.99 and free shipping using the phone app, the web based price is much higher. These are really nice cases. I bought 4 different ones to compare and they’re much nicer than the other $1.99 ones, lining is really soft. It’s more of a smooth foam outside, no leather is used on these. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805931598705.html
Bought both this week and they work great together. The mic needs phantom power in instrument mode, pretty easy setup.
Tube amps always measure bad, they aim for what people call “good distortion”, which is generally 2nd harmonic. You may like it, you may not, that’s very much a subjective think.
I’m not a tube guy so take it with a grain of salt, but I would say the Tube Dac for 135 and a 25% discount seems like a good deal if you want to try the tube sound. You plug it in an amp you know and love and try is out.
Alternatively, you can look at Xduoo stuff, they have a lot of stuff at affordable prices.
Weekend update from eBay (not my listings), Apos, and Amazon. The eBay liquidators are started slashing prices on the Amazon and other holiday returns. You’ll see either no reserve auctions that all end on Sunday (since they ship on Monday) or multi quantity listings like headphones at huge discounts. See the first eBay listing for a good example.
