TS50Bs and Mono Blocs have been $500 or more for a long time.

I had a Traynor TS-50 guitar 1x12 combo about 15-20 years ago. Bought it cheap, sold it cheap. I'd not mind trying one out again if one pops up in L.A.

I love Traynor TS amps, love the Tronographics Boxidizer. they all have their own character.

Those TS amps are the best thing ever for $150, but in my house they tend to become doorstops when they break. The shitty speakers are cool in their own way too.

$400 headphone blowout at $129 at Musicians Friend

No idea if they’re any good, but I believe they’re open back and intended for studio reference, not breezy listening

That's a good deal but I hate that giant basket headphone design. Feels like I'm wearing a space helmet

Edit... I took the bait because I saw that I had $80 in credits so I got the mega cheapozoid discount. I'm going to outer space!

Heads up, there are a shitload of counterfeit Sennheiser e935 mics on eBay right now, listed as New and at sub-$40 pricing.

Apparently there’s also a bunch of fake Shure SM7Bs out there as well?

The Fake Shure thing is super real. Not just SM57 and SM7b, but weird mics like Beta87, Beta91's and KSM9.

1/2 priced Warm Audio 800 mic but it looks embarrassing as h

I don't get the Sony 800 thing. All the references to its use seem to be 90's hip hop and R&B and refer to how bright and in your face it is. Nothing I'm looking for in a mic especially a second rate knock off.

Give me something U87 esque, or 47fet ish.

It'd be fun to have a studio with exactly one gold mic like this and make bands defend their right to use it. "Are you REALLY the best...?? hmmm..." "Tell me why you need supremely clear midrange. I'll wait"
