Woot has Sennheiser HD800S again at $1299

Haven't seen the Senns at that price for a while.

I'm still in the honeymoon stage with my DAP to really know how I'm going to feel about it, but just in case anyone else is considering separating out portable audio old school/cassette/MiniDisc/iPod style from the phone and notifications and with headphone outs and decent power, the often recommended HiBy R4 is on sale for Prime Days for $199. Not the model I went with, but then again this wasn't on sale then or I may have. You just have to get around the "anime" design and a little weight.

"Anime" = "Cyborg-inspired Industrial Design"

There's even an Evangelion** edition with "tuning optimized for Anime enthusiasts!"

**"Evangelion is considered as one of the most monumental stories in human history."

Ha  - I literally watched this two days ago..

I watched the series when it came out and I owned it on tape. This vid did help me understand some things. I have watched some reactions to the series, and it is mostly people saying, WTF? most of the time... Great series, great use of stillness and the sound of cicadas. 

Anyway - The player looks cool, I don't think it fits my use case...

Not to be a party pooper, but isn't Prime Days a scam?

[blessingx]

May be worse than that and see below, however the above R4 was $50 more everywhere (including Hiby) for the 3-4 weeks I searched and only lowered on Amazon a few days ago. I did see a SmallRig tripod whose sale price was the same as everywhere else most of the time though. Guess it depends.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Black & Chrome edition is available for purchase on Apple TV for $4.99 for anyone interested. It's a little dark, but I think it looks better than the Fury Road Black & Chrome version. May help those with CGI issues with the color.

Well, exists for two films because George Miller "nudged" the $tudio . In Furiosa there is selective color when it's important, like flare signals or a red apple. Normally a no-no, but I think it works here.

I'm not entirely sure what's going on here:  $473 in audio plugins for less than $3 with the discount code FUCKUADANDGUITARCENTER because guitar center pissed off Sam Pura.

Is anyone still buying video physical media? If so, Criterion has a 24 hour 50% off sale for anything in stock.

Dunno where Woot is getting these from, but they have new Nikon D800 bodies going for $629. While a couple of notches below the latest D810 model, this has to be the best deal in full-frame DSLRs atm.

Grell OAE1 headphone on Woot for $39.99

Cheap enough for modding & experimentation, no?

ASR tested the Drop version, maybe the same. Does not recommend for any price 🙂 for parts?

[blessingx]

At least there's the holographic projection material that's good for experimenting.

Well ASR is beyond retarded... so take that with a tonne of salt.  I have the Drop version and they are fine... nothing special but well worth the 100$ they sold at there.

HiFIMan sale going on, and extra 10% off open box/refurb with code: CLR10POFF

If anyone can chime in on if any of these are any good or not, I'm sure that'd be helpful to the 83% of us who don't follow this anymore and haven't in years.
