The old is becoming new again!

And what I mean by that is receivers and preamps are becoming 'nerd-gasmic' again. I used to love the old early HT receivers that had tons of inputs, triggers, jacks, and various other connection ports. Then HDMI came out and many of the legacy analog inputs vanished. The backs of AV receivers became neat and featureless.

This is the Denon flagship A1H and I can see with the advent of overhead channels etc. and HDMI being used for audio etc. the AV receiver is starting to look like organized chaos again!

I like it!
 
There's also a growing market for old 1970s receivers that you used to be able to pick up for $50.
(and Randy the CheapAudioGuy just did a video at the obscene prices ($1,400) that some prerecorded cassettes are getting) :oops:
