Tekton Double Impacts
And weekly remind them that there are no grills.

Aniwolfe,my ear is level with the array on my DIs, but I often recline where my ear is lower and becomes at the bottom or just below the array. I like the sound both ways, but the absolute crispness of center vocals when my ear is at the center is...

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts once they arrive, John, and the pairing with the PL. Be sure and listen to them without the grills as well. I really do love my upgraded DIs. They will be with me for many years.

Hi John. For me it is/was the following:First = True = nothing fancy here. Glue visible on the backside, simple wood frame, cloth tight on frame with square corners, whereas the cabinets are rounded some. Second = True = I got the standard black m...

Craigl59:thank you for that explanation. I am picturing it quite well now. I just measured, and the front of my DIs are 36” from the front wall. Do you think placing this material on the front wall the height you list would have a similar effect? 
Oppo UDP-205 DAC vs. The Competition

Tekton DI Monitors
Is this issue only relevant to the DI Monitors, or does it pertain to the DI Floorstanders as well? 
Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next?
Often. It is a holistic issue involving different levels of water intake, daily life experience, media format, speaker position, chair position, humidity, how many things are on my mind, what I had for my meals, first/last CD or LP chosen that day... 
Tekton custom grills
I have ascertained that the paint flaking on my DIs is due entirely to my mishandling them and not a fault in the paint job. The grill cloth is glued then staples onto the back of the grill frame. This is all well and good. I am not complaining (e...

Thank you all for your input. I think I will certainly contact Eric and Karma about the paint issue. The flakes/chips line up perfectly with the grill staples holding the grill cloth. That is the culprit.

For those who have the upgraded DI’s, what do your binding posts look like? Are they color coded? Polished brass? Dull/oxidized copper?also, for those who use grilles, has the cabinet paint started to flake near where the grilles interact with the...

I got mine in December and the paint is flaking where the grills touch the cabinets.
