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.

@asvjerry

the plate I always wanted, but the letters wouldn’t fit:

”BLUE BAYOU”

I’ll close with a link to one of my favorite opening movie scenes:

I use a Schitt Sys to double up an RCA input.

I’m a firm believer there’s never enough inputs on preamps and integrateds. I also believe in keeping digital out of said devices. Unless they are plug ins that can be upgraded. And even then I think it best to keep them separate. A good preamp or integrated may last many years and never need upgrading. You can't say that about digital.
