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.

"Our DVD/VHS player is YPbPr & RCA output.
Some stuff is only viewable on DVD and/or VHS."

I'm sorry, but you really have to join the 21st century.

It's not reasonable to expect manufacturers to pander to technology dinosaurs that refuse to adapt. Besides, video is no different than audio in that getting the highest possible quality is a worthy endeavour.
