Hello I was looking at Hifiman store and found a intriguing offer. I dont plan on buying them but was wondering. The ananda stealth magnets are made by Hifiman so their QC is already known. My question is how would they be in quality and longevity department. If anyone is wondering, they are on sale for 400 dollars from 1k.

They were never $1k, the original Ananda was years ago but the Ananda Stealth launched at $699 in mid-2022 which was the then selling price of the OG Ananda (although the OG was available for ~$350-400 in Asia).

$399 is still a fantastic price for the Stealth revision, particularly if you are getting it direct from Hifiman with full warranty.
