So what have you bought and got a great deal on for a black Friday sale? Me? Who’s Next Lighthouse box set about $142 Amazon.fr. Also bunch of surround downloads from Nativedsd.com, bought $11 membership for a month get 15% off, bought 10 or more albums get another 45% off!
 
I want to say that I’m proud of not buying anything on Black Friday. But the amount of overspending in 2023 prior to Black Friday means it’s a hollow victory. I didn’t even see a music biography on my list knocked down this weekend.

I’ve got a KRK subwoofer for my desktop computer on my Amazon wishlist that has been there a long time, but a price drop of 4% isn’t enough for me to bite. It’s one of those “nice to have but not a big deal if I don’t” items on my list

But tomorrow is Cyber Monday and another day for businesses to try to separate me from my money.
 
I admit though, last night, I nearly made a likely regrettable purchase. I had another SVS 2000 subwooder in my cart...I even went as far as going to Paypal and selecting half of the total with cash I had, and the balance charged to my checking account. I was sooooo close.

Luckily, I went to bed and this morning am thankful I didn't buy it. I mean, sure, I'd like 2 subs....but do I really NEED 2 subs?
 
Maybe I’m subconsciously feeling something with two subs that I wouldn’t with one, but I’m not sure I could pinpoint it with most of the music I listen to. If I hadn’t gotten deals on mine, I’m not sure I’d think it was worth the extra expense. Perhaps if I was into movies that really pushed the system, I’d notice the advantage of two.

Light In The Attic had a good BF record sale, got 4. Some of the records I paid full price for earlier were on sale 1/2 off, happens all the time.
Also BFRSD at the local record stores.
Quad content: I will be listening to all these LPs thru the Surround Master v2.

WTF?? Not too much, huh? I'd hate to see you do a splurge. lmao
 
After dropping something off at my post office I stopped at the Goodwill next door
Looked thru the cds and found My Generation The Very Best Of The Who
Unbeknownst to me they were having a Black Friday sale 50% off everything
So instead of paying 3 bucks I paid $1.50 plus tax.
Beat that lol.
 
Besides about a dozen or so UHD4K discs from Amazon ranging in price from $7.49 ~ $12.99 [LIST PRICE $40 each] and The Tragically Hip's Phantom Power box set from Udiscover Music at 30% off with free s/h, I also stocked up on Energizer MAX AA and AAA batteries [24 of each] for my hungry remote controls from Amazon at their Cyber Monday deal of $28!

Yes 😀

This is coming from a nut case who has 9 subs...4 each are 15" (long story behind that, but glad it all came to be). It most definitely makes a difference. It's like driving a V-12 versus a 4 cylinder. You can climb a steep mountain pass at the same speed driving both cars, but the 4 cylinder will be screaming in a lower gear, while the V-12 is barely breaking a sweat...cruising all the way.

It's the same with subs in my opinion. Them 9 subs just cruise at the same level as a single sub, but it cruises right through you. Or if desired, at nearly all the live performances I have been to, the bass is rocking the place...you can take that route too.

I was terminated and made obsolete by Mrs. LB-V the first time I let them all rip. She was silent for several days.

Anyway, I digressed way off topic...couldn't resist.

For Black Friday I bought some string lights for my backyard.

Edit:
@GOS, definitely NEED. 🤣
