The DEALS thread

Is that the cable you have for yours, Guy?

Nah, I went with the stock Mira 2W; the 4W looked a bit thicc for long listening and I also didn’t want to pay the premium on what was already an admittedly egregious purchase. Admittedly, the Mira 4W has been replaced by the Mira MkII (for the STORM RE) so if you are a serious cable-head that 4W may be worth the premium for a purchase consideration if you were already in the market for a STORM unit.
Couldn’t be me though, you know I just did a swap for a $30 cable on mine haha.

The 10 percent tariff on Chinese goods got signed today, and we’ll see how it plays out with prices when current inventory is depleted at retailers. I’ll find out more about how it’s going to affect audio gear. If the “de minimis” $800 limit will stay in place, most of us won’t notice a difference when buying direct. I did my daily checking and there’s some good deals out there. At the end I added a list of outlets and used/refurb sites for manufacturers and retailers. So glad we have great American makers of audio equipment like JDS Labs, Schiit, Dan Clark Audio, and Grado. We have options if prices go up on other things.

Is there any evidence anywhere of people getting their product with like some type of photo evidence or something. It kinda has existed for a while but I never seen anybody with like physical photo of the product that is not promotional. The company address is super shoddy and never seen anybody really work with the company before.

Not trying to promote any specific link as being a great deal as I haven’t been studying the prices on this, but does anyone have a clue why there’s a sudden wave of iBasso DC-Elite units going up for sale in Head-Fi classifieds? Someone discover Chinese malware in it or what? :rofl: 'Cos as far as I understand the new Nunchaku is lower-grade and not meant as a replacement at all.

Tons of hype behind it caused a lot of people to PTT immediately. Lots of buyers remorse maybe?

Blame the discovery-thread driven fad, and the new hyping of the Nunchaku :laughing::money_with_wings:

KBear 16 core iem cable. I have a set of these that are simply the best I’ve got. So many of the included, 8 core, cables are too stiff, they look cool, but I like my cables to flop like a completely dead rope. Can’t beat the price during the ‘Blooming’ sale.
