Yeah I'll grant the streamer, Technics are not ignoring the current market, but their design and even their pricing are very 'early nineties', especially the power amp. I love Technic's big old power amps, but Technics were very much an innovative, forward looking company and I would have hoped for less retro and more sci fi, honestly. It's kind of like how Yamaha tapped into their past, and IMO missed the mark aesthetically in doing so, and also with the pricing. Their AS4000 amp is never going to sell, and nor will the new Technics R1 amplifier. Well, we will see.
I hope you'll score a review system soon, and on that same note a review of that little red MF system would be cool too - I like the look of it!
