I guess I have to sell my Tekton Enzos

because Eric said the DI's slaughter the Enzos. Better yes. Slaughter, I doubt it. If they slaughter the Enzos they probably slaughter the Enzo 2.7's as well. I'm sure Eric will put out some spin saying how much better the 2.7's are. What a load of crap. I can just imagine Dave Wilson saying the Sashas slaughter the WP8's or Harry Weisfeld saying the VPI Prime slaughters the Traveler. Marketing 101: Don't diss your own products. What Eric said about the Enzo is a slap in the face to every Enzo owner out there. I'm sure the DI's are better, but not in every situation. I'm very happy with my Enzos and very disappointed with Eric Alexander. He should know better. End of rant.

Interesting. When I switched my DAC from old NOS 226 DHT tubes to 101D DHT tubes and changed to a R2R discrete DAC set-up I told one customer that it was a 100% improvement.  He did not believe me either so I took one to his home and within the first 30 seconds he said about 40% improvement.  When the system (tubes) warmed up for 20 minutes he said yeah it is way better.  So don't discount the designers comments.  Happy Listening.

So taking this a step further... Eric told me the Ulfs are far superior in sound to the DI upgrades I have. I have a hard time believing anything could sound that much better after living with the DIs for a while. But I certainly believe Eric and I am upgrading to Ulfs because of it. But until the Ulfs arrive, I am THOROUGHLY enjoying the DIs!

Eric and Tekton,

If the DI slaughter the Enzo 2.7 can you please give an indication as how the Electron will sound in comparison to the DI?  Would one be wise to go for the DI if at all possible because the sound is that much better?

I said the original Enzo. The Enzo 2.7 is another animal entirety.

Above per Tekton Design.

Please be consistent, OP.  His statement was regarding the original Enzo [never the 2.7].

I understand where the OP and jmcgrogan2 are coming from. It's estimated there are 100,000 adjectives in the English language...if the best someone can do when trying to describe or compare something is to say it "kills", "slaughters" or "blows away", they're either not very smart or they actually are smart but are mailing it in anyway.   It's about more than just speakers, it's about whether we want to live in an Idiocracy or not.  

Along those same lines, the verb "lose" (opposite of "to find") is not spelled "loose", and the things on your car that help you stop are not called "breaks".   If you are unsure about the state of our country's intelligence, spend a few minutes shopping online for a pre-owned car, even at the high end.   It's not pretty.
