Sorry about your wallets!

So far, I'm seeing significant markdowns (ie >= USD 10 on:

Audiosense gear
CCA CKX
Tin T4
Tin P1
TRN BA8
Various Smabat items, except the X1
Tri i4
NiceHCK NX7 3/Pro/OG
Kinera items
NF NM2+
Tri i3 and Starsea are back to their usual "sale" prices, though I've still seen them go for less before

Thanks for the headsup. Are u getting anything?

Anyways, I have the best deal for this March Aliexpress Anniversary sale: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001633192575.html

I present to you, the TRN golden ears. Sale price forecasted at a very affordable $23750 USD. Kindly provided with a very generous $8 - 10 USD coupon. Pre discount price $25000 USD. Was $15000 USD at launch IIRC. Only 20 pieces available, don't miss your kidneys for it!!!!

Nice. Waiting for your impressions.
Yeah, very excited. I have like 10 cables coming from them. Praying that I get them before the sale ends. (although the sale prices probably wont be much different from usual since they are already the cheapest out there...)

Classic hiking the base price to make the discount look substantial when in reality it isn't much better (if at all) than the true MSRP.
With the power of coupons, thats how you get better prices during the sale.

Here is what I have ordered:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002042493770.html

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001843312645.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002032012593.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001874696470.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001747415190.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002350509830.html (1 8 core and 1 4 core)

If they measure as good as they look (meaning that they become one of my default recommendations for cables), I will create my own model name for all the cables I measure since most of them dont really have their own names/model-nr.

QT-9 arrived and @Dsnuts was right. Damn fine sounding IEM we got here guys. I am surprised no one is talking about this. I will review this soon.

It is so tiny and sits super flushed to my ear that I can almost sleep wearing this.

Cable is bit of let down and it emitted some funky chemical smells for few days though.

Ya if you can get over their somewhat generic looks. They sound crazy dynamic for being such a compact housing. You would never assume they have the large dynamic sound they do just by looking at them small shells.
Wish they would have tinted the housing to match the faceplate color. Also no leaf pattern or other design they have offered before. Tempted but didn't grab one when they first came out. The Plain Jane look may have been what let me resist them. :)

Thanks for the headsup. Are u getting anything?
If I am to be honest, nothing is really standing out to me as a must-buy at the moment. My moratorium on purchasing any more sub-$50 IEMs still stands strong, and I'm mainly waiting for the Tin T5 if anything, so I might direct my discretionary spending more towards CDs and band merchandise until the next big sale...

I know that. I was talking about holding off on any significant new purchases in this impending sale.
