I saw the back of an integrated and it depressed me.

I'm sure the Technics is great , but you are seeing less and less legacy inputs.  It is kind of unusual that it only has two RCA inputs.   

Not all amps are void of inputs. The rear panel of my new Cyrus amp has it all !   And it sounds good too.   Cyrus says it's focus was to have a great analog section foremost .  The fact it has a great sounding  DAC is a bonus.  Four analog inputs plus Phono , 2 Coax, 2 Tos, and USB.  Plus two sets of speaker jacks,  Tape Out, Pre Out ....  Amazing amp , it is literally the size of a shoebox and half the height but sounds like a real big boy full sized component.  A killer little amp 

If you drink a full glass of wine bottom-up and light-up cigar, you will get rid of depression -- guaranteed!

Out with the old, in with the new.

An accident caused a seemingly uber-fragile screen on a flat screen TV to break the other day, necessitating a new TV.
Bought an LG at the store, set it up, realized that it had zero analog inputs.
Our DVD/VHS player is YPbPr & RCA output.
Some stuff is only viewable on DVD and/or VHS.

I’m quite aware that these are problems of privileged people, ultimately trivial, and making too big a deal of them sounds like whining.

Technology is great.
However, when it comes to consumer products, sometimes…not so much.

You can buy a box that converts what your vhs player uses to convert to hdmi for your flatscreen for under $25.00 from Amazon.   
 

You mentioned a broken screen, and I have a story for you:  my brother broke the screen on his 5 week old Sony  mini led 70 something inch screen.  He paid $2500 for the set.   There was a bat flying around his living room so he tried to catch it with an aluminum pole fishing net.  He whacked the wall mounted TV and shattered the screen.  Warranty didn’t cover it and the screens are built not to be replaced.  He was out the whole $2500. Sony told him to pretty much “pound sand”.
