**Looks like this is dead already; no longer see coupon available. Glad I bit quickly.** Amazon has a couple turntable deals - lowest price I've seen on these, and I've been keeping an eye on these for quite some time. This is not Prime related and does not require Prime membership to replicate.

They are Beatles branded Pro-Ject Essential III . The Beatles editions come with a Resonance free, 1.2 kg heavy acryl platter which was/is a $150 upgrade over a standard Essential III. Ortofon OM10 cartridge pre-mounted. fully manual operation. requires a phono preamp or phono input on receiver or preamplifier.

The non-Beatles Essential III typically sells for $300. Plus the $150 platter upgrade. These Beatles editions are priced at $250, which they have been for a Looooong time, but there is a $50 coupon on the Amazon page, bringing them to $200.

Actually, that is what the Amazon rep told me to do. Since they do not have a way to price match during the special events or refund the difference for something that was purchased in the last 30 days (within the window), I was told to just return it and buy it again.

Hifi-College has a 10 percent off sale on Amazon, including their used items. With a 5 percent cash back Amazon card you can stack a good discount. They also do a 1 year warranty on their used stuff.

4.4mm Two Pack FAAEAL Balanced Cable Compatible with Hifiman $24.99 They also have 3.5mm or 2.5mm and TS or TRS plug versions. I get these and they have a Sennheiser version also. I like Audiophileninja the best, but not going to spend $100 to replace cables on $100 headphones.

6ft 14 AWG Power Cord Extension Connector with 3 Prong US Plug $4.99

I get these since they're really thick and can use them on computers too.

They do not seem to have a 3.5mm balanced (or 3.5mm PRO balanced) cable, which is needed for the ifi UNO and, I imagine many other balanced (or S-balanced) amplifier. I have posts describing a workaround with a 4.4-3.5 balanced adaptor in the ifi Uno and Hifiman 400SE threads. I wonder why FAAEAL does not provide a 3.5mm (or 3.5mm PRO) balanced option.

HIFIMAN Arya Stealth - $899

Looks like retail price of Arya Stealth dropped to $999, so not as big of a sale but still the lowest price brand new.
