Tekton Double Impacts

I agree wholeheartedly! But without an interchange of experience, those looking may not find something that would in fact interest them. Isn't that what this forum is for, an interchange of ideas and experience? One can choose to investigate for themselves or not.

Audiopitbull, 
Well said and true. These open audio forums are communication terminals and a fun and effective way to converse with what are essentially strangers who have a common interest or even passion.  

I've learned quite a lot from these threads over the years and have been exposed to new and unfamiliar products as a result. When we find something that improves our listening pleasure it's fun to spread the news.  

It seems to me that any reasonable person would realize that these are all personal impressions and not interpret them as the gospel or as absolutes.

How did the Vaughn speakers sound versus the Tektons?

I am celebrating nearly one year with the DI's and its given me cause to recollect my audio journey this last year. I feel fortunate to have experienced a few " ah ha" audio moments during this time.

 The first was the DI's. I need not elaborate much as this thread is full of reasons why.

 The second was the Linear Tube Audio MZ2. I'm still using it as an integrated amp and am amazed how well it's one watt drives the DI's. It's musical purity is mesmerizing.

 The third was hearing Charles' Frankensteins in my system. What an ear opening moment. As much as I was enjoying the sound the MZ2 brought to the table I now heard how much more the DI's were capable of delivering and just what so many referred to as the " SET magic" was all about. 

The he fourth was adding the Concert Fidelity DAC to my system. I had no idea how much a DAC could contribute to reproducing beautiful music. I thought my previous DAC was quite good, but the CF DAC took things to a whole new level. 

I'm hoping my next purchase, the Aric Audio SET KT 120 amp, will continue my fortuitous streak of ah ha audio moments.......and I'm quite confident it will. 

I believe the DI's were instrumental in allowing all of these system changes to bring forth all of the benefits they had to offer. Their transparency allows every upstream change, good or bad, to be fully demonstrated. Whether it's cables, tubes or components the DI's will reveal even the most subtle nuance these changes bring about. That just might make the DI's the single most important audio investment I've ever made. 

Charles,
Thank you for the confirmation. I certainly am impressed with your experience on these forums. I see your posts all over the place, 6,158 posts and counting. Wow! I am also impressed with your politeness. It's refreshing. And then there's your system. That's really nice. I saw the photos of it. The Frankenstein's were the first amp I was interested in a few years ago but my speakers were not efficient enough. But with the new Vaughn speakers, I may investigate that possibility anew. I have some auditioning to do with the LTA ZOTL amp first.

I have enjoyed perusing this forum and have been impressed and even amazed at the level of gentlemenliness on this thread compared to what I have seen elsewhere. Keep it up gentlemen.

Perhaps I do not belong here due to the fact that I no longer have any interest in the DI's. But I have genuine respect for many of you, have enjoyed your conversing, and just wanted to share my experience.

Take Care,
Michael
