What is your top priority items on Black Friday Sale.

I am looking for sizable saving on Raal Sr1a or Abyss 1266 TC headphones( regular price 3500$ and 5,000 respectively) on Black Friday Sale.


They are expensive for headphones but with top quality sound almost matching small speakers.


How about you ladies and gentlemen ?

I will stay in Korea to see my 87 years old mom until middle of December.

Thus I will have no chance to drop at off line store on Black Friday.

I had been to off line store about 10 years ago and got shocked by how lousy was the atmosphere.

Since then, I do not go to store on Black Friday.

I am eyeing on big savings on only few expensive items through online offer.

Mine was supposed to be Gaia II footers. But I found on Amazon, there were 2 dealers who had only 1 set each of the footers. So they discounted it better than Black Friday. I did not think twice and purchased 1 from one dealer and another from the other. Both came today in the same box via Prime. Sweet deal and loving that these things are doing to my music :-)

Both Abyss 1266 TC and Raal Sr1a are on Black Friday sale now. I am in a conundrum to choose one between those two excellent headphones.

When I had listened to SR1a and 1266 Phi CC at my pal’s home, I liked both.

Ultimately I will have both.

But I wish to try one of them this time.

I wish to keep one nice dynamic HP(hd800s), electrostatic(Stax009S), ribbon (Sr1a) and planar magnetic(Abyss 1266 TC) in the future.

It will be like tasting wines with different flavors.

Please note that I have a speaker with plasma tweeters(Lansche 4.1).

But it will be impossible to make headphone with plasma tweeter since it will be too hot to your ears.

Although I am more attracted to Sr1a than 1266 TC, I am afraid of possibility that Raal make SR2a (improved version) next year while 1266 TC has not much more room to improve.

I pulled the trigger for SR1a on Black Friday sale.


I hope that Jotunheim R will be released soon so that I may use it with my SR1a which is one of the hottest headphone now.

I had Apogee Duetta Sig driven by Krell KSA 150 from 1989 to 1999.

Thus I have a lot of expectation about SR1a which has a ribbon driver.
