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.
"’all-out HULK’" Well, happy to report I didn’t have go to this extreme at the car show yesterday. Made a point to wear my "REAL CARS DON’T SHIFT THEMSELVES" t-shirt (with the familiar 5-speed shift knob icon). They were too busy smiling to notice how "cute" my car was. But, I will take your advice when we show my wife’s Mini Cooper S convertible next time. This car is so cute, you’re tempted to reach over and pinch it. |
"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. |
@waytoomuchstuff ..... It's the 57 Fury Factor..... *arm around shoulders* Sorry......but, at least the Fury was a 'hot item' back then....👍🙄😎 .....just has that 'Brit Restraint Rationale' goin' on.... That, and the "Bond....James Bond....." connection dooms one to the 'Cute Conundrum'......(Oh, gawd, don't cry....).... ;) There.....feeling better? Good.....*simpatico S* Oh....'real cars Can shift themselves' and that can be 'a Good Thing' (channeling The Martha for a moment)... ;) Watch the launches.....🤪 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.....) 😏 Bumper snicker reads: You can go with This, or |
...needs a major edit, but.... Yup....mentally disturbed, but....some ’vette owners Really need "skoolin’ the foolin’ " |
