Thanks for the comments

The key difference between the two if someone wanted to know what I consider the absolute most important key point to take from this comparison is that the SA6 are a very evenly performing earphone. The triple.fi 10 had this interesting characteristic: For more than two standard deviations worth of music (~95%), they sounded as perfect as can be, truly crystal clear amazing sound. For those outliers of music, they were flawed to my ears, overemphasizing the very high and/or the very low ends of the music and distracting rather than delighting. Conversely, the SA6 never sound quite that good, but they never sound quite that bad either. I'd rather have an earphone that can deliver B+ to A work on everything I throw at it versus an earphone that delivers A+ work most of the time, but only manages C work when it can't pull off the A+. Someone else might understandably rather get A+ work most of the time and deal with some C work instead of almost never getting that A+ performance at all. It's all in your priorities.
