I am not trying to dump on anyone or on anyone's equipment. The question was "am I missing something, or do others think HDMI was a step backwards?"
What I tried to point out was that, aside from the flimsy connector, HDMI has permitted improvements in both audio and video performance, as long as your other equipment is compatible with it. Over the years, I have experienced most of those mentioned lapses and failures but, lately, they have become rarer and rarer.
(BTW, I require a separate phono preamp because 2 of the control preamps I own lack phono stages but I don't hold that against any of them.)
