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.
@campoly *L* Well, not just yet.... ;) No particular rush to make that Great Leap into the Unknown Infinite...and so there's still time to play 'Plugs 'n Cables' with my finite pile of Stuff...
"Let's see....red to red, white to white, black to.....Purple?!" *BZZAP!* "....great balls of fire....didn't need that finger, anyway...." |

That technics integrated is a special amp. I can’t see it in my man cave driving my stats or coexisting with all my turntables and tape decks but in my bedroom where I only stream , I’d love it. If I were a broke 20 something year old today, I’d put all my money into something like that technics, a great pair of cheap, vintage speakers and subscribe annually to apple tunes. No need to be depressed ! fwiw, I think they’ll come out with an updated version of the amp in another year, save up your paper route money. |
