I’ll be working flat out - we’ve a major go live starting the previous Sunday and going the entire week. So I’m going to be a right miserable so and so!
That said, I will be keeping my peepers open for Cyber Monday deals. Sometime in the next 12 months I’ll be replacing all four of my Apple devices: iPhone, iPad, Watch and MacBook. Just don’t know yet with just what, but looking forward to it!
That is amazing you will be replacing all those devices. Are there usually any good sales on Apple devices around the holidays?

The Watch may come first for me as I'm discovering as I get older than I'm no Weeble (I wobble and do fall down) - and the fall protection could be handy, along with the EEG functionality (getting old sucks!). The iPad may be early next year when Apple announce the new iPads - I need to get one dedicated for work (thus allowing me to keep my current one for home use). The next one will be getting a new Mac - although I may get a iMac or Mac Mini and dedicate my current 2015 MBP to portable usage - so that'll probably be summer next year when Apple will probably announce new iterations. Finally the fall will see me wanting to upgrade my iPhone 7+. If the 2020 iPhones have 5G then I might upgrade to one of those, otherwise (and if the rumors are true) I'll hit up the new SE that Apple look like are getting ready for a $399 price point next spring.
@VioletChepil, Apple rarely discounts, sometime opting instead for a gift card or they throw in a set of beats. Best bet is to hit up a big box retail store or Amazon for Apple discounts.

I am hoping that my favorite Audio company puts some of their headphone amps and related components on sale.
If anyone enjoys music as I do, and enjoys high quality equipment, Schiit Audio (don't laugh, the Schiit is Amazing! And yes this is actually their name) a brand made here in the USA produces some of the highest rated, highest quality headphone Amps / DACs / and related equipment. The best part is their prices range from very affordable to not so affordable, but don't let the price even for their entry line of gear cast judgement on quality.
Their entry level Magni 3 Headphone Amp is around $100 but no one will ever tell you that it's entry level quality. It's been ranked as headphone amp of the year in 2018 and still ranks among reviewers as a high end amp.
I absolutely love their brand, I own 3 components, the Magni 3 PreAmp/Amp, Modi DAC, and Loki Tone Controler. Impressive is an understatement.
I'm looking to getting one of their hybrid Tube Amps or one of their higher end amps if their prices drop.
If anyone is interested in more info check out their site..
Cheers!
Only 50% depreciation in 25 years? I'll take that!
My current senior citizen setup.. I have two receivers, A Marantz built in 1976, NAD in 83 going strong, AR turntable '72, KLH speakers early 70's and some really modern CD and Cassette decks from the 90's...
There has been some vandalism of cars in my neighborhood so also thinking about a camera system too, to watch the door/car.
Would be great if we could all submit the best deals we're finding for Black Friday here too:

I can thoroughly recommend Linksys Velop Mesh network system, it proven to be, not perfect, but the most reliable I’ve had in 20 years.
All devices require a power supply so you need to decide between a wired connection which is likely to be more reliable & faster (Ethernet over power lines) or wireless (Mesh etc.) which offers more convenience with the potential for slower speeds. Although the mesh networks are getting very fast, in my case I get a theoretical speed of 800M at 5Ghz and in practice it is also very fast.

Some more HDDs for my NAS. I'm hoping to pick up some 16TBs for cheap.

"Using code VIPBLACKFRIDAY will get you a fingbox for $69. This is supposed to be good until November. If this does not work you can use the code BLACKFRIDAY and get it for $74."
I can remove that quote if you guys don't want it here. Looking to buy one or two Fingbox's on behalf of my uncle and parents. Was hoping for a Black Friday deal as I see most years have something. Thanks.
