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.

Yeah, I found a used pre-pro for my AV system for all the legacy ports. Around 2010 vintage they had both plenty of analog and HDMI during the transition period. Picked a manufacturer known for signal quality and product longevity. And for less than one fourth of the original price.

Lots of little boxes on Amazon will convert your legacy RCAs to digital (and back). But will it eventually all go to wireless? No ports at all!
