What is your top priority items on Black Friday Sale.


I am looking for sizable saving on Raal Sr1a or Abyss 1266 TC headphones( regular price 3500$ and 5,000 respectively) on Black Friday Sale.


They are expensive for headphones but with top quality sound almost matching small speakers.


How about you ladies and gentlemen ?

It is easy to waste your money on small gadgets that you may not need during Black Friday Sale.

Thus I have my eyes on only Sr1a or Abyss 1266 TC which are Totl headphone right now.

I had been using this IEM for 9 months with satisfaction.

It is very detailed with clear and wide headstage.

It also give good impact but does not go super deep as well as Raal SR1a.

With very high efficiency, it can be driven well with Galaxy cell phone.

Thus this one is my go IEM out of town.

I paid 1K$, but now it is on sale so you can save 250$.

That is Empire Zeus Iem which used to be sold at 1,800$ before Massdrop.

It has 14 drivers in it with super detail and nice dynamics.

This is the best IEM that I had listened.

There are some IEM which cost more than 2K$.

But I do not want to spend more for small difference.

Good luck to you!

Sometimes you can buy them at discount form Massdrop
@ pinthrift

Massdrop offers good deal on mass order.

Thus you can get bargains over there.

The only problem is to buy unnecessary items on the impulse.

I will stay in Korea to see my 87 years old mom until middle of December.

Thus I will have no chance to drop at off line store on Black Friday.

I had been to off line store about 10 years ago and got shocked by how lousy was the atmosphere.

Since then, I do not go to store on Black Friday.

I am eyeing on big savings on only few expensive items through online offer.


Both Abyss 1266 TC and Raal Sr1a are on Black Friday sale now. I am in a conundrum to choose one between those two excellent headphones.

When I had listened to SR1a and 1266 Phi CC at my pal’s home, I liked both.

Ultimately I will have both.

But I wish to try one of them this time.

I wish to keep one nice dynamic HP(hd800s), electrostatic(Stax009S), ribbon (Sr1a) and planar magnetic(Abyss 1266 TC) in the future.

It will be like tasting wines with different flavors.

Please note that I have a speaker with plasma tweeters(Lansche 4.1).

But it will be impossible to make headphone with plasma tweeter since it will be too hot to your ears.

Although I am more attracted to Sr1a than 1266 TC, I am afraid of possibility that Raal make SR2a (improved version) next year while 1266 TC has not much more room to improve.


I pulled the trigger for SR1a on Black Friday sale.


I hope that Jotunheim R will be released soon so that I may use it with my SR1a which is one of the hottest headphone now.

I had Apogee Duetta Sig driven by Krell KSA 150 from 1989 to 1999.

Thus I have a lot of expectation about SR1a which has a ribbon driver.
