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.

Devialet curiously sounded better than the Rowland, which surprised me.



 That doesn’t surprise me at all, if the Rowland was the $10k Continuum S2.

As in that they just used a Pascal "tweaked?" Cheap Chinese Class-D modules made for sub-woofer amps.

And here is the $100 Chinese Sanway subwoofer amp https://imgbb.com/kBHf1S4

@scott22 I agree, liking the SU-G700, but I also love vinyl so the SU-R1000 is a big deal to me. Yet at 10k, and considering my TT isn't the best (or what I'd consider worthy of the phono stage of the SU-R1000) I am gonna wait this out and see if I could grab a used one down the road... but doubt it. Seem Technislcs is low volume high cult following and their stuff doesn't pop up much.

I stumbled into this and while it is polarizing and opinionated, some of what is being said is pretty interesting.
