GTI - MK5 knew clutch installation starting next week. I’ve been known to redlines that little girly beast. 😬
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.

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. |

Yeah, I found a used pre-pro for my AV system for all the legacy ports. Around 2010 vintage they had both plenty of analog and HDMI during the transition period. Picked a manufacturer known for signal quality and product longevity. And for less than one fourth of the original price. Lots of little boxes on Amazon will convert your legacy RCAs to digital (and back). But will it eventually all go to wireless? No ports at all! |
