GaN based SU-R1000 Technics Integrated Class-D, review by TAS
I’m positive there are, but you don’t do it by making amps nonlinear or with selective distortions in them. You do it with equalizers if needed or change whatever is that you don’t like the sound of, usually the speakers or room. (not by changing the linear items for non linear ones that's crazy) Cheers George |
The two I trust the most are Stereophile and then TAS. Can’t wait for the Stereophile one as it will come with bench tests which "usually" backup the listening tests if you understand them . Yes we can look at another the minor publication Ibtech reviews gave it 5 out of 5 and loved it also "Beautiful warm soundscape with enormous depth and dynamics Cheers George |
Oh dear...from WhatHiFi: Regardless of source – analogue or digital – we notice that the SU-R1000 doesn’t have the most expansive soundstage. Its presentation isn’t cluttered exactly, but there’s a definite lack of space around sounds and instruments, making things sound less layered and lacking in depth. The delivery could do with greater precision when locating instruments in the image too. They don't say which speakers were used to make this determination, perhaps all three of them. The review speakers, by the way, are nothing special in my view. |
Ok, so we're going down that path well here we are. And from Absolute Sound, quite the opposite " The new Technics SU-R1000 integrated amplifier is one of the most innovative and best-sounding pieces of electronics I’ve had the opportunity to audition in recent years." And from Stereophile a "Webinar" with the Technics guys. Review yet to come. https://event.webinarjam.com/replay/42/2owr9fm9cl0cg7czrw Cheers George |
