New Technics SU-G700 Mk II on the horizon

Just an FYI: Perusing Dailyaudiophile.com I came across this from Twittering Machines;
https://twitteringmachines.com/technics-announces-the-su-g700m2-integrated-amplifier/

The MkII version will use the GaN output devices and other improvements derived from the Reference SU-R1000 integrated. The price only goes up about $100 compared to the now, discontinued version. 

I'm glad I came across this on my daily dive into dailyaudiophile.com (which everyone should do) so I cancelled my order and had it apply to the MkII when it comes out in October. 

It may not sound like much to the casual observer but to get that level of improvement and stay in the Technics lineup says a lot since the SU-R1000 is a ten grand hit to the wallet and if you have efficient speakers, 70 watts is plenty.

All the best,

No, I sent back the MK1 and then m waiting for the whole credit to go through. They didn’t have it in their system yet but I made it clear I wanted a MK2. Technics told me February ish ship dates for US customers. Hopefully that stands.

Once I read the details, I really felt it would be worth the wait. It’s a lot of tweaks to what is reported to be a great platform and I am sure we will start to see reviews soon. Waiting with my homeees…😎

Well, I woke up this morning and while checking my emails and reading up on how the world is going to pot, a new email came in with a shipping notice that something is coming my way from Music Direct. 

It could only be one thing so I called them to verify and hopefully, by Monday, I'll be the proud owner of the new Technics SU-G700M2. 👍😄👍

Not bad considering the wait. 

All the best,
Nonoise

That's great news! Excited for you. If it had XLR I/Os it would be on my short list, that is, if my PS Audio GCC 250 (purchased when they first came out) ever quits on me

Well lets hope it doesn't any time soon. 👍

Yes, it would be great for some to have the XLRs but I use short (1 meter) ICs so there's that. However, it would be nice to see just one more set of RCA inputs and maybe a HDMI input but I'm not going to obsess over that. It's the sound that I'm interested in. 

All the best,
Nonoise
