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.

The only ’digital’ component in my system is my Sony HAPZ1ES music server, and it has analog outputs! I don’t stream any music and I don’t use ’clouds’ to store any content. The only other source player in my system is a Technics SL1500C TT.  My audio system is strictly for playing music. I’m an old school audiophile and proud to wear the title.

BTW, there are manufacturers who still believe in analog. Vincent Audio makes excellent audio gear that caters to the analog crowd. The McIntosh C49 preamp blends the best of both worlds by offering an upgradable DAC along with 7 analog and 6 digital inputs.
