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.]

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.
My post was more to encourage a projection of how ones finances might be in the not too distant future, as a result of the measures to be imposed on how a individual will be restricted in their daily activities.
These restrictions will for many mean a regular income will be affected, 
and  their economic situation will be undergoing unforeseen changes,
which will impact on how much disposable monies might be available, as well as enforce a change in the priorities for the monies that are available.
HiFi Purchases are luxuries, and those luxuries when costing the value of months outgoings for a home, will not be useful to a family needing to live with additional frugality down the line because of the expense of the purchases being made months prior. 

The point being made, is not to bury ones head in the sand, the
COVID 19 Virus, is requiring extreme control measures,
that will create changes to peoples liberties overnight, and these changes for many will have a massive impact on the economic situation.  

If one chooses to be a consumer during this period, then I am not in objection in any way.
I am undergoing a enforced lock down at present, and am making a few purchases that support my passion for my experience with HiFi.
One of those has been a few Vinyl Albums.
I have used forums to see Album Recommendations, I have made a shortlist and used Youtube to review some of the content on the shortlist, and produced the final list of purchases.
Interestingly the list has compiled of a couple of Olden Days Released,
and now 180g Reissued Albums, and a couple of Albums that are no more than two years released. 
I also bought in a Quad Matched set of 5881 Valves for a Power Amp that has sat idling for too many years.

To support the industry, I did have to analyse the markets, 
searching for discounts to make these purchases,
or have I been a waiting in the wings 'tyre kicking customer',
looking to make a insulting offer when a vendors weakness is smelt.

One vendor got really Irate with me when the testing they agreed to,
on their untested set of Valves,  was postponed by the tester I had arranged, due to the tester not wanting to get involved during the enforced Lock Down.
Obviously, the vendors requirement to receive the monies,
was much more important than encouraging the individual who was to carry out the tests to keep safe and well, during these difficult times.

Keep Safe, Keep Well and Keep it Real
