Well, I hope those dials are far better than the old ones because they were prone to contact problems, an issue now gone with digital stuff.

I bet they are just a rotary encoder like most knobs are these days.

Yeah, I'm sure they're not REALLY mechanical. Just the rotary equivalent of a mouse wheel.

Well now they need to make a Console TV/Stereo combo. Comes with 5.1 and instead of 8 track it gets MP3, instead of a turntable it gets CD, and I guess it would still have a tuner but also add the option of streaming.
