I think that's how I became a Schiithead. Reading gear specs has never been this entertaining before.

RE: Beach Camera ATH-M50xRD/IFI Amp combo deal.
Congratulations! I got an email that I missed (went to the trash) saying they were cancelling cause out of stock. Their eBay entity DOES have them in stock, for $300. So, congratulations!
They did! I got the shipping confirmation email with the tracking and in the description it show the 3 items.

Thanks so much to topgunsphd and Meewoo - the Fostex Th500rp have such mixed reviews, but I took a punt.
Got them last night - had time to listen a bit - oh my - they are seriously engaging - so wonderfully textured and luscious - do you like cheescake, whiskey and warm slippers? these are the 'cans for you. (Translation - if you love the Sennheiser HD700 avoid the Th500rp like boiled cabbage; if you really like the Nighthawks - keep a look out for the Th500rp - they're absolutely scrumptious!).
Caveats - all listening done with my ears (of course, ha!); also they need good amping and source; they don't show potential from daps (well not the Pono); they have a very intimate soundstage; and sound very different from HE560 (the only other planar I've spent time with).
Sorry for slightly off topic - but if any more Fostex Th500rp go on sale, they are worth considering.
On topic, I have not tried the following, don't know how they sound; but these prices seem pretty good at Sonic (with free shipping):
Phiaton Chord MS 530 (MS530) for $60

Westone TS1 (79298) Talk Series In Ear Monitor Headphones for $31
https://www.sonicelectronix.com/ite...98-Talk-Series-In-Ear-Monitor-Headphones.html
Happy Thanksgiving - and thanks to everyone for taking time to post deals.

Emotiva is selling off their Emotiva brand cables for 50% off ($8 shipping if order is less than $49)
https://emotiva.com/
Caveats: these seem well built cables; I've had a few of these and quite liked the usb cables (which are only $5 at the moment); but I didn't like how the rca and power cables sounded on my 2 channel system.
But then again to my ears cables do make a difference and I know many folks think this is a delusion for folks with more money than sense (using this quotient, I should barely be able to lace up my own shoes, with my single digit IQ
)

Or a bit less if you jump on the HD6xx drop that Massdrop have active again right now, albeit shipping ~March 28 2018.

HA!!!! Imho definitely delusional, but once that horse has left the barn there is nothing you can do about it, and you will hear differences no matter what you do.
I had been waiting for emotiva's annual holiday sale, but then saw that they announced in April no more time based sales...just the best price all the time. I hope that works for them, it almost killed J.C. Penny. Those of us who watch deal threads like this want holiday sales, coupons, etc., even if in reality it means higher prices the rest of the year. I guess emotiva thinks that's delusional. Probably right, will try the shoe lace thing myself.

Thanks for the heads up! I won’t get into the cable debate here (I lean towards the opinion that they do) but I would love to get a pair of Kimber Monicles or some such (on the cheap) because they look so freaking cool!
