    I’m interested if there’s room. If this gets full you can bump me off the list.

    Plenty of room for friends. I really think more of SBAF needs to hear the SA6.

    Dunu's website is wonky but from what I can tell the Zen is a single dynamic design and the SA6 is a 6 BA design? At least the pricing makes sense to me. Count me in, though fair warning I am not an IEM guy so my impressions might be contrarian/non-standard.

    absolutely unacceptable!

    Shotgunshane’s review thread has tons of information and impressions of both these iem’s.

    which is why I said you can bump me if needed. I know from his review reporting more BA timbre than the CA Andromeda or Solaris that I won’t be buying these. I’m interested because of my general interest in iem’s and hearing different designs. So potential buyers should get first dibs.

    SA6. I suspect the upper mid of the Zen may be a bit too much for you. SA6 tonal balance is very good.

    Unacceptable. I'm including you; your impressions are a good data point that may help a future potential buyer.

    Btw, thinking we will send this out when list hits 10, or at @shotgunshane's discretion.

    Please take me off the list for these, I won’t have time to give them a proper listen and don’t want to hold things up for the next person in line. Thanks!
