Technics SU-R1000 a new Class-D GaN Technology integrated

the lbtech review does not even compare the amp to anything except to say it is not as powerful as the Mac or Hegel.....so what does that tell?....nothing.

The Spanish review says what?  Most of use don't understand spanish and there seems to be some pointing to a page that shows? a Mac and Pass labs integrated rated? better?  He has his JBL speakers (that don't don't image that great stock) right up against the wall......what kind of soundstage can he get?   Not very good.

These are not serious reviews.  We need a serious review by a seriously tweaky high end person....that actually describes the EXACT differences between this amp and other amps in its price range (both integrated or not) and the all out state of the art amps.....then we will maybe....know something.

For someone who preaches peace/love/woodstock all the time, you sure know how to go totally sour and bitter with things that don't even deserve it yet at every opportunity you can. 
Chill bro take another drag.
This "promises" to be a very good integrated and is way too young yet to be reviewed by anyone like Stereophile etc, it will soon. So lay off the aggro on it till things get done in due course

I am not sour or bitter. Just calling it as I read it. What do you gleem from the reviews so far? I WANT this thing to beat everything. This is why I am not pleased with ALL the reviews, so far. What I read is that it is a great $10K integrated amp......but not a world beater in any way. I hope more and better reviews can shed some light. It is very clear that it is a very good integrated amp. However, the technology is so far out there that I had hoped that this amp would beat everything. I bet the AGD Audion’s are much better....then we have the $6K Mytek GaN amp coming in a few months, modded Purifi, modded IceEdge, $3K Wally GaN amp (the "waiting for Godot" amp), etc.............time will tell.

The LKS 005 DAC is superb......that DAC driving a pair of AGD Audion’s is the same price as the Technics......if the LKS/AGD combo is better....well....the Technics would be history. Of course, some people will prefer a single box and if you have a modest turntable system, then the phono in the Technics looks interesting.

Like I said take another drag.

To others here that wish to follow this new what "could be" the new best buy integrated kid on the block.
This could be good to follow for all the vinyl crew, with the phono stage analyzing system with calibration record that comes with it.

After the HR review in Stereopile, I'm surprised that the LKV Veros hasn't attracted more attention.  No measly switching power supplies there--one main toroidal and two subsidiaries.  No wonder it's so heavy (and costly)!
