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.

"My first ever car was a ’67 Sunbeam Alpine"

I hate to get all geeky here on British cars with 4-cylinder tractor motors under the bonnet, but I bought a Series V Alpine 30 years ago. 10 years later I added a turbo with the goal of matching 1/4 mile performance of a showroom stock 260 V8 Tiger. I now have the time slips to prove it. It’s truly "The Little Engine that Could." Still have the car (plus 2 Tigers) and thrash it at every opportunity.

You're too busy staying pointed properly to do so, unless you've got a 3rd hand...

....or ones' 'fav appendage' has learned a 'very new trick'.....*LOL*

(My fav 'Insane Major Lotto Win Splurge' is a vaguely 'street-able' version, with  exhaust diversion valves and a chip switch on the 'puter....BRG w/yellow detailing, of course.....) 😏
