".....I know! Lets' make the Road Warrior look like the Good Humor truck...."
I saw the back of an integrated and it depressed me.
Recently took a look at an ad for a Technics SU-G700M2 integrated amplifier, and honestly it made me a little sad for me, my hobby and the gear I ended up with.
When I "wore a younger man's shoes" I needed inputs! I was going to have a turntable, a Tandberg reel to reel and cassette player, and that new fangled CD player would be there as well.
This new integrated has 5 digital inputs and 2 analog inputs... and anyway I just want to drink while playing Billy Joel radio on my Roon streamer.

@nonoise ....It's always a slow daze Somewhere.... I just never seem to be There ever....cursing at being apparently cursed....😒 Anyway..... @ Dear Friends.....Yes, there seems to be a dearth of anal IMEAN Analog inputs on the current trends... Precisely Why......I've kept my 6x6 analog matrix switchbox... ...and the more or less semi-sorta-sota digital av digital + analog switcher as well. I will take them to the Next Unreality with me. Don't bother digging. I'm going to be dissolved, and poured into the French Broad River. In a relative(ly) short time span I Will Be Everywhere on this planet. You will be able to look to the cloud above you constantly. Just desserts... Make mine whine with a 'left-handed twist' non-cigar...pulease... ;) |
@campoly *L* Well, not just yet.... ;) No particular rush to make that Great Leap into the Unknown Infinite...and so there's still time to play 'Plugs 'n Cables' with my finite pile of Stuff...

...got @waytoomuchstuff ...if 'cute' offends, then 'girly beast' ?! Don't just '5 o'clock shadow'...go 'all-out HULK' on 'em....green-tinged visible skin....practice the 'going to go beast' rapid breathing....pre-shred clothing.... (Gotta be good @ it..."Even Barbie drives a 'vette, guy....*hmpth*" might be heard....*tease*) ...heard even the 260s' spark plugs needed reverse joints in ones' hands and a taste for hot metal if done at roadside.... Anyway...pet the Lotus' about for me....*sigh* '....always a best man, never the groom...' Closest was missing an Elan in a auction; $950 for one with no hood from an engine fire...all else There....f'k. Floppy disc vs. d**k: Age now...fix-able to some degrees, timing counts. 👍 'Back when'? :Your karma was giving you a close encounter not to be ignored. That's how too many of 'us' ended up being called 'daddy'. I paid Attention to that...have none that want 'daddy in a home where they'll Take Care of him....'
@mapman....I grew up with 'party lines'; never could distinguish who we were partying with, but ...rotatory phones were frustrating when one would try to call in on a 'third caller wins!' radio "HEY! What's happened to the phone!?" '...the dog did it...." (older bro/younger bro = I took the hit.... f'k....) @erik_squires Back in the Oaktown>SF era, worked with Steve, who laid hans on a new Awdy Quattro... "What's a limey like youse going 'germ' on us? Hate their football teams, not the cars? 'Splain...." "....their teams are just a lot of big girlies....the cars? This one is great...." ( I didn't, and still won't, argue with a man with a red-hot soldering iron in hand....) (Long story....don't have short ones anymore....) ...except for this....Good night or morning, as is your situation.... ;) |
@alaskaman ....*L* Yeah....the lower 48 has gotten so wound up in itself that if you're north of the CN border you're 'obviously one of Them...whatever 'They' 'are', which is still unresolved... "Shuddup, all we want is yer crude (oil, that is...), your landscape to scrape, the permafrost to melt and release who knows what....all that....more when They figure out what might make a $ or mil$....." And....."Dave?" "Dave's not here....." |
....I won’t beg to differ, @bigtwin @erik_squires .... 😒 Those lil’ clippy things are only a plastic step-Down from a Fahnestock clip.... Oh, sure...the plastic won’t short out, but I’ve had a couple break or seem so loose that any ’crackle’ or loss of channel would be my first culprit.... That, and the wire ’fray’ with 12g. cables? Drove me to ’tin’ all the end ’stabs’.... (hidden benefit = I can ’haircut’ 10g, tin, and dB to other realms....) ....and those plastic b*st*rds are too close together....2 side by side, *meh*. 4 s/s, I’ve got ’fat fingers’ (...that some would say match my fat head...and they’ll get theirs....*nasty Snicker*....) *Bleeah!* (Nasty Snicker, thrown in round file....) I’ve seen 6, even 8 in a row....That’s Insane. 5 way posts or Damn the warranty.... I'll take the phoenix plugs on my amp as a close 2nd pref.... anytime, anywhere, anyhow, anywho.... |
@waytoomuchstuff ..... It's the 57 Fury Factor..... *arm around shoulders* Sorry......but, at least the Fury was a 'hot item' back then....👍🙄😎 .....just has that 'Brit Restraint Rationale' goin' on.... That, and the "Bond....James Bond....." connection dooms one to the 'Cute Conundrum'......(Oh, gawd, don't cry....).... ;) There.....feeling better? Good.....*simpatico S* Oh....'real cars Can shift themselves' and that can be 'a Good Thing' (channeling The Martha for a moment)... ;) Watch the launches.....🤪 You're too busy staying pointed properly to do so, unless you've got a 3rd hand... ....or ones' 'fav appendage' has learned a 'very new trick'.....*LOL* (My fav 'Insane Major Lotto Win Splurge' is a vaguely 'street-able' version, with exhaust diversion valves and a chip switch on the 'puter....BRG w/yellow detailing, of course.....) 😏 Bumper snicker reads: You can go with This, or |
...needs a major edit, but.... Yup....mentally disturbed, but....some ’vette owners Really need "skoolin’ the foolin’ " |
@waytoomuchstuff .... BLÜBAYOU The 'U' pronounces like the 'oo' in 'moon'. (You might have to add the 2 dots DIY, just make them look like 'road schmutz'.... "Gee, Officer Riley....don't know how that happened....." |
....BLUBYU ? I know....just isn't the same....:( Personally, I've always wanted one of those LED 'crawl' readers, the long thin ones... Better, the display element would apply like a bumper sticker without the hardware....👍 ..run a microputer running vox recognition, 'one shot' displays.... TOO CLOSE? RUN THE RISK MY FART CRAZING YER WINDSHIELD ;)) NCHP would tag me in a heartbeat....Sheriff's would want one....likely mine....😒 |
@waytoomuchstuff ....*L*....*G* Do both....we used to call it FCE; "Forced Consciousness Expansion: What follows after you start to say 'WT...' and don't get the time to finish the exclamation...." ;) Known to occur in a wide variety of 'situations', ranging from a car accident to discovering that the punch at a party contains an adulterant you hadn't considered as part of your evening....which now be g i n s t o s t r e c h o u t ..... *L* What I subject some to is a pleasant version....hopefully.... ( Oh, that's right....'Stay on topic'.....ignore the adhd/add daemons.....) LUV HZ ,,,You KNOW most interpret that as... 🙄 Plates need upper and lower case to get the 2nd... |
