Apoxna 2020 has been cancelled, but PS Audio is still extending a promotion:
https://www.psaudio.com/ 20% off plus trade-ins on pretty much everything they sell. Their trade-in allowance is quite generous, so don't hesitate to look into it if you have any interest/curiosity about PSA products.

    Of course you are correct, Drew. It has been postponed til August. But...the sale is still on. I'm thinking of trading-in a GCPH phono pre-amp towards a new Stellar Phono Preamp.

    I got further guidance from Jake at State Farm PS Audio. It's basically up to 40% off with sale and trade-in.

    Then it is just the price shown on the website. Most things are 20% off, but not the Dectet, which is their only power conditioner currently in production. But it looks like all the power regenerators are on sale B)

    I'm a PSA customer that purchased my gear from a dealer. When they moved from dealer to direct sales last fall there was lots of discussion about discounts on the PSA site.

    No firsthand experience but several folks relayed they were successful calling PSA and "dealing". By and large, they have a very good reputation for customer support/satisfaction. Also, they have many new products close to release and w/the economy tanking I'd bet there's more incentive to keep their sales numbers going.

    Even if you don't have something for trade, and you probably won't get a steep discount, i'd estimate it's worth making the call and seeing where it goes. All they can do is say no. Explain your budget, what you want and work from there.

    Definitely worth a shot. Any more info on upcoming models that are close to release?

    New $1,500 promotional price on their Stellar Power Plant 3 regenerator, with PSA donating $100 to MusiCares. https://www.psaudio.com/products/stellar-power-plant-3/

    I don't think the trade-in deal is an additional option with this promotional price.
