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)!
Technics SU-R1000 a new Class-D GaN Technology integrated
Maybe one to look out for.
There’s a new approx $10K integrated Class-D from Technics called the SU-R1000 Integrated Amplifier around 22 kg, 150w-8ohm and 300w-4ohms, would have been nice to see what it could do into 2ohms
.
Said to have many of the GaN Class-D features of the far bigger SE-R1. But nowhere yet can I find if it uses the 1.5mhZ switching frequency that "makes" the SE-R1 what it is.
Also it uses smp power supplies, even though it’s 22kg, Unlike the SE-R1 at some 60Kg because of it linear supplies.
No reviews or measurement tests as yet for this one from Technics
Cheers George
