Just did a huge post of deals on my blog, but here's the ones that don't contain affiliate links for Apos, Hifiman, Aliexpress, and one good deal at Linsoul. Too tired to convert all the others back (forgot to keep the notepad backup of regular links). I have five multiple item packages coming from Aliexpress tomorrow ordered on the 11/11 sale, so shipping times for them is right on schedule. Aliexpress is issuing daily coupons on the app, so you might do even better clipping the recent ones.

Aliexpress has some great sales if you stack coupons and cash back with Capitol One. They also now accept U.S. tax reseller certificates if you have one. You can apply for permanent tax exemption, but also after buying, send the information and they're refund a purchase you just made. Time is limited on many sales, so I'd do both if you're not setup with them already. After loading the shopping cart, log into Capitol One if you have a card with them and click the 3% cash back for Aliexpress and it'll click you through to their site to complete the transaction. This is in addition to any cash back the card you're using offers. Click all coupons and coins (easier in the app) and put each item in the shopping cart to make sure your total is hitting the threshold to trigger the biggest coupon. I bought a bunch, then added a couple of Yincrow X6's just to meet the number for the bigger coupon.

The standouts for audio equipment are:

SMSL M300SE $95.36 in shopping cart with coupons
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805346656135.html

Tanchjim SPACE Portable DAC Headphone Amplifier $61.27 in shopping cart price
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804793988585.html

SMSL SU-1 DAC $55.47 in cart price
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805252119745.html

SMSL DL200 AUDIO DAC & Headphone Amplifier $145 in shopping cart
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805688663030.html

7HZ TIMELESS AE $166 in shopping cart

SMSL AO300 Digital Amplifier & DAC $218.97 in cart price
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805971355798.html

SMSL SU-9 PRO ES9039MPRO Decoder in cart price $386.86
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804678644020.html

Seeaudio Bravery in cart $182
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804184331443.html


Hifiman has a ton of new and open box stuff running now. Free shipping and I've never been charged sales tax. The award points for purchases now, and of course stacking any credit card cash back helps. All come with their 12 month warranty, and if you like them on Facebook it extends to 18 months.
The standouts:

HE400se open box $79
HE4xx B-stock $69
Arya Stealth (refurb) $759
HE1000 Stealth Magnet (refurb) $1209
Edition XS $329
Deva Pro wired (smoother but not warm version of the HE5xx) $119

Big sales on new stuff, the black Friday page is
https://store.hifiman.com/clearance-sales
New and refurb on that page at a big discount:
Arya Stealth $899
Ananda Stealth $399
HE-R10D Wired $399
HE-R9 wired $109
Sundara closed back $149
(refurb) Sundara open back $199
HE-R10D Wireless $409
HE-R10D Wired $349 (can't even get a used on on eBay for that)
Deva Pro Wired $119

Linsoul has one good sale on:
Topping D90LE (non MQA version) $499 which is an amazing price for this week only)
https://www.linsoul.com/products/topping-d90le?variant=43409069179097

Apos has a Google spreadsheet which shows all their black Friday sales at a glance. If on a phone, having Google sheets makes it easier but not mandatory.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...ku6OwTJgjHxnL4taj-dY-Y33i3A/edit#gid=38280712
You can sort it by discount to find the good ones.

Official Cyber Monday might have better prices on places like Drop and Amazon, but so far nothing earth shattering from either one. Will keep scanning prices to see if anything big comes up. Sign up for any newsletters at your favorite retailers or manufacturers. Hart Cables, Hifiman, and Drop all send out the day they post a new sale or special.

Woot has ER4XR for $169.99.

Not a great price compared to prior sales from Adorama, but if you have wanted one, you might as well go for it. Comes with 2 year manufacturer warranty.

thanks, just grabbed the cca rhapsody for $25 with the $15 coupon, at this price the risk of not being able to resell without loss if it sounds too bad is quite low
