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

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.

That’s funny!  
It sounds like the person exercised their Second Amendment rights, as well as their Elvis Presley rights.

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!
