There is no logic that the Technics has the advantage at 119 lbs, especially due to the fact that the Evolution One has Damians’ magical circuit work that has made him a living legend.
I don’t know about the "magical circuit" stuff?
But do you have any idea about power supplies and what they are??
You say "there is no logic to the 119lbs"
The logic is, one (Nuprime) has a switch mode supply (smp).
The other Technics has 2 x independent choke regulated Linear power supplies, that’s where the weight comes from.
Technics told me, one (ei-core) is for the digital and input/driver stage, and other (r-core) for the output stage. https://ibb.co/s1jD64z
