Post links to deals -audio or other treasure- here where it might go to a fellow pirate, and isn't viewable by lurkers. If you're going to bid on an item that gets posted here, you should say so, that way we're not bidding against each other.

An excellent idea!

I'm bidding on that Sansui SS-100 you showed me, Whitney.

AKG K400 on ebay

These have a broken cable and so are likely to go cheap, even fully functional K400's go for pretty cheap as they often go unnoticed. Could be a great deal for anyone with some cabling skills. I've heard a couple K400 and they did sound different- one much better than the other (from memory) so they have some variation, but they have the potential to be one of the better dynamics out there IME. The better pair had bass south of neutral for sure, but gorgeous, airy and rich vocals, huge airy soundstage ala K701, and slightly bright but non fatiguing treble. At the time I had the better pair, I liked it more than any other K4/5/600 or K4/5/6/701

I hope you get them! One of the rarest headphones out there.

I'll try those AKG's for that price!

Great idea for a thread

Let me know if you guys have any good balanced speaker amp suggestions (sub-$1500) to use with a HE-6. I was going to get a Pass Aleph 5 until reading some criticism that it doesn't pair that well with rock and bass-heavy music. I heard the Ayre V-3 is a great alternative with more bass presence and impact for a similar price, but I can't find one for sale anywhere. Would love any other suggestions for speaker amp gear to look at, as I decided not to go for a vintage receiver.

There was a B24 going for $1100 at the recent ChiUniFi , SoupRKnowva on HF had it but wasn't going to buy it. He used it for the HE6. This is mighty overkill but one hell of an amp for about 3/4 of parts cost.

Hopefully they are a better pair if they're going to you!

BHSE: http://app.audiogon.com/listings/blue-hawaii-special-edition-with-alps-rk50-very-low-hou
Also saw a nice deal on HF for WES + 009, not sure if it's still up.

Woulda be gone in 60 seconds if it were a BHSE (the WES + 009 deal). He should split them up.
