Maybe I missed some post... Where can I get those discounts?

Sadly you have just missed the 11/11 sale. But there will be more coming up with Black Friday, New Year, Anniversary, Chinese New Year, Spring Sales...

AliExpress never seems to have more than two months go by without a sale!

now it is back to $49. The PR series are truly high risk, high rewards

Of course that acronym used in naming of the KZ planars, has a very different meaning in a healthcare setting. Maybe that is an inside joke about how they regard their customer base? Perhaps an implicit suggestion as to what we should do with the PR2 if we don't like them?

I just received Castor Bass Edition in the mail. Does that mean I've been Castor-ated?

I didn't know that meaning until you mentioned . I also think they should name them as "caster" since it has quite good switch mapping.

KZ PR3 early impression seems to be positive,
Dude in Hongkong already got his,

Need more power than PR2? PR2 is 1 of the power hungry IEMs Ive tried of any price.

in the comment section he stated that its easier to drive, but his current AZ20 might not be able to "fully" run it.

But PR2 has small PCB board like Zobel circuit https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the-discovery-thread.586909/post-17556864
What does he mean "PR3 utilizes electronic filter"?

I believe that one is just transistor, and driver board.

Zobel network should be a bit more complex.

Another piece which sounds superb on the AS16 Pro/30 ohm:

Does anyone know if there are any comparisons between ZS10 Pro X and its classic KZ style stealth revision? They have changed the BA configuration at some point, the original version that I have in my ears right now, has 1x 50024s dual BA + 2x 30019s, while the currently marketed (and probably sold) one has 2x 50024s dual BAs without the 30019s. Assuming the BAs actually contribute anything(which is not a given for KZ), there should be some difference?

As for PR3, I've ordered one too in the pre-sale. Hope it doesn't disappoint (too much). I haven't tried the previous planar IEMs, and that'll be my first planar IEM (or planar-anything) in general.

As for the "electronic filter" maube it's just some simple capactor-resistor-coil passive filter to get rid of some unwanted peaks, athought I'm not sure if that wouldn't cut out the targeted frequencies entirely, which wouldn'y be desirable either.

Curious about this, I wasn't aware of the stealth rev. The ZS10 Pro X I purchased off of alix earlier this month still appears to have the 1 dual and 2 single BAs.

@dirtdawg perhaps there's still some stock left of the original version, I also don't know when exactly the revision took place, so it might be fairly recent.

What is the price of the PR3, i can't even see it on KZ website.

Hold on, just found it. 26 quid but not on KZ offical AE website. is this correct?

The pre-sale price was $30~ and the "regular" price is supposed to be around $50. The pre-sale has ended so I'd be careful with low-priced listings, especially if they go lower than even the pre-sale price.
edit: although 26 quid does sound about right for pre-sale.
