I prefer living alone, how do you like it?

Since moving here to take care of my mother, I rarely get calm "alone" moments where I can center myself. In Newport I could take a walk to the Ocean or Bay both 2 ~ 5 minute walk. I never required an auto in Newport and avoided sitting in traffic which has to feel like the single greatest waste of time ever. Connecticut is a traffic nightmare on the seaboard (I-95), it's the typical bedroom community for Rats in the Rat race. Here we exemplify extremes of Capitalism, Materialism, and the circumlocutory effects of an "addictive society" on the family. Quite a mouthful (somethings change slowly).


As a hobby High End Audio is most exciting and an endless number of exciting designs out there of which a music lover and electronics enthusiast would find fascinating. And your listening experience will become just that, an active experience opposed to just hearing music.

Whew! thank you for explaining things to me, it does clear up a lot of things. Ok so far here's how I understand it now. This will serve as my soundcard only it's via USB.. correct? so all audio processing will take place on the Tecon? or Porcessing will take place on my PC and just spit the information out via USB for the Tecon to amplify?

Hello thank you.

Yes ALL processing take's place on-board the Tecon Model 55 via a Burr Brown DAC, there's no need to worry about software. All you do is go into Windows and choose USB as the Audio Device. That's it no software or hassle. It doesn't matter if the music files are stored in MP3 or another format. This product elinimates the need for a soundcard. If however you have a soundcard with RCA left and right outputs, or a 1/8" jack adapter cable (1/8" into RCA left/right) analog you can use that soundcard for D/A conversion and use the Amplifier's RCA inputs.

Its so easy to connect and run just like "butta."
