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.

The suspension and ride of an A4 is great, if only the base model wasn't so underpowered.  The Q4 I believe used the same engine with even more weight to haul.  (( sigh ))

Buy a McIntosh preamp or Integrated they have lots of inputs for anything you could need.
