GaN based SU-R1000 Technics Integrated Class-D, review by TAS




After their unobtainable and unaffordable ground breaking 1.5mhz switching speed, Technics SE-R1 GaN Class-D power amp, this new offspring integrated has finally gotten an in depth review.

I had high hopes for Technics "fully optioned" SU-R1000 integrated, "looks" like my hopes could be founded, here is the The Absolute Sound’s 7 page!!! review on it, enjoy.

..and yet the reviewer didn't note:
1. What music he played.2. How the amp specifically performed with that music.
3. What the rest of the system was.
and the most important spec for George: switching speed!
This is a seriously lacking "review".
Finally, another Class-D amp that can't perform below 4-ohms and at $10K. Pathetic.


Don’t think I ever said it had 1.5mhz switching speed??, just it’s big bro the SE-R1, I seriously hope it does too. As 1.5mhz switching speed is far better than 600khz, as then there’s no 70 degrees phase shift (https://ibb.co/2thS6y2) then from 1khz to 20khz in the audio band.

And I’ve always maintained they (all Class-D’s) have a problem driving speakers like Wilson Alexia into very low impedance’s.

Yes, another nothing review.  "  It has notable competition at its price range"......then says nothing about its competition.....so, how do we know how it sounds without a reference.  Just another money making review.  Rave and do not compare......then the advertisers are happy. 

I am sure it is very good.....but how good?  you cannot tell a thing from this review.
