That technics integrated is a special amp.
I can’t see it in my man cave driving my stats or coexisting with all my turntables and tape decks but in my bedroom where I only stream , I’d love it.
If I were a broke 20 something year old today, I’d put all my money into something like that technics, a great pair of cheap, vintage speakers and subscribe annually to apple tunes.
No need to be depressed !
fwiw, I think they’ll come out with an updated version of the amp in another year, save up your paper route money.
