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.

"HAL: I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that."

I don’t do digital, my gear is 70’s or older. I have inputs.

Wow i tried to post a comment and i could not do that as a Audiogon member with an account. Must have verified Phone number and address. F%^&#$G ridiculous  and.

PROVES MY POINT.

@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....."

 (Come on, Dave, give me a break.)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, one break coming up!
Change, and nothing stays the same
