AT440MLa on sale @ Electronics Expo

Wow, Njord, you're right! How weird. After double-checking my confirmation email from A*zon, I went into my browser history to retrieve the link that I used, so I could post it here for everyone in case it was somehow different, but it now shows the $117 price, too. I am just so glad didn't hesitate when I visited it earlier!

I just had a thought. Maybe, the price was set to bump up at a specific time and I just snuck under the wire because of my time zone. The time on my confirmation email says: 11:34 PM MDT.

If that's indeed the case, here's a big "Thank You" to TnT2 for the heads-up.

Hurry up, AK and HI, you might still be able to get it for the lower price :D

Hmm. I just bought one using the link and got the 89.93 with shipping price.:scratch2:

I've been putting it off, but decided to go ahead and jumped on it just in case that price really is endangered. I'd done enough reading to know that I wanted to give the AT440MLA a try. :yes:

Nice, that's what I got mine for. I do know that prices on Amazon tend to fluctuate. I just checked and it's still at 116 for me. So if you got yours for 89, you lucked out!

I also find it strange that the price has been updated while the incorrect product name has not.
 
The break-in has begun...last night in my garage. Disappointed in my SL-B2, it speed wanders. New belt, maybe it needs a break-in.

After using a test record, spun Tom Waits Blue Valentine.

Hmm, LPGear has these for $99 plus shipping, and i just came up with a spare $100. Should I buy the 440mla or upgrade my Grado green? If I choose the Grado route how far up the stylus chain can I go, red, silver? I'm currently running a AT12S shibata on my 1700mk1 which blows the Grado green away, atleast in my opinion.
 
The electronics expo sale is over... now listed at $116.90 + shipping

Thanks for playing!
 
The least expensive I can find is at Lpgear at:

Though, I asked if they have the discontinued AT440ML (without the a) and here's the e-mail I received from them:

Yes we have a few AT440ML cartridges in stock. It costs $179.95 + $17.00 S&H to Canada.
The point is, why would I pay the extra 80 bucks unless it sounds better than the MLa which I doubt is the case according to testimonies and reviews I have read.


P.S: Nice find for $10 LAstplace

Cheers

I can have that 'SPARE' $100 no problem...

Aside from kidding, I would get the AT440MLa if I were you.
