Sales or clearances happening now

I noticed a HUGE sale at Cary Audio right now. My guess is that they want to keep cash flowing and that they were also going to offer some discounts at the (now cancelled) trade shows, so they budgeted for this, partly.

Has anyone else seen any major sales on gear in the last couple weeks?

[Caveat: I know there are many more important things happening, and that our country is in a crisis. I assume anyone reading this is doing so because they are not one of the people trying to save lives, and that they see reading or talking about audio as a way to stay sane. If this post devolves into something political, etc. I will unfollow End of caveat.]

PS is selling manufacturer direct only now, so the prices are down from list, but actually more than the big dealers were actually selling them for, so in some sense new PS gear costs more now...

Well, I decided to do my bit to save the economy and ordered the PS Stellar Power Plant. To trim the outlay I’ll trade in the V-90 DAC. Just seems like a good deal and a good time to spend the money since we’re all supposed to get a $1,200 check soon. But now I’m going to have to buy some good power cables since I’ve never been convinced they were worth it unless a power conditioner was also involved.

@pindac,

Thank you for reminding me that purchasing vinyl/albums are just as important and supporting to the audiophile selling community at large. There are many turntables to be purchased in these times to as they are for some their HiFI hardware of choice. And without albums/records....Those turntables would have nothing to play.

One of my favorite places to purchase vinyl is through Discogs....Where you can find stuff new and used you didn’t even know existed, let alone find that long sought after record of memory. And you can find some good tunes for not much coin. I hope this tip helps.

WyWires extended their anniversary sale. 40% across the board. Probably purchase something.

It’s not irrelevant to talk about passions. People make love even during wars, and better than ever, I heard.
My listening routine hasn’t changed much yet. As for upgrading, I upgraded last year so no need really. Sure, there is Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated here but it is too much for me at the moment and I won’t settle for less. And, yeah, I am not in the mood for upgrades, anyway.
WyWires, as all excellent cables, are overpriced, so 40% off sounds about right. I have his Platinum RCAs and like them a lot. Harmonically correct and sophisticated. Silver is good too but can’t compete, I have it as well but don’t use.
