Great responses. Thanks All for taking the time to share your thoughts/experiences. @immatthewj Music Direct is EXACTLY who I had in mind when I posted. They quite often offer open box items but it's usually not a significant savings, however it's enough for the temptation bug to creep in😬🤦♂️.
@czarivey agreed, I am always on the search for those 100% off sales but I haven't yet found any of those🤣
And yes, cables are usually a much safer bet rather than components.
Still contemplating those NRG's. I have until today as they're also offering an extra 10% until tomorrow...
