Another GaN smaller integrated, Technics SU-G30 has everything bar the kitchen sink.




This smaller SU-G30 integrated version of the SU-R1000 I started last week has it all, it's the  complete network audio integrated amp. Nowhere near the power of the SU-R1000, but all the goodies, for $4k looks great for units and offices or smaller hifi systems.

the input selector knob is broken off.
Didn’t see that, but again no biggie 5 position switch maybe $10-$20 plus labour, at the same time the glass gets replaced, if it works it’s a bargain at around that price. We'll find out same time tomorrow.

I just zoomed in on that broken switch shaft and there’s looks to be enough sticking out still to extend with a short aluminium tube epoxy’d over it and then knob drilled to the same diameter of the tube to fit.

Yeah, but cracked glass, wonder if it was dropped? I’d be nervous buying something like that see cracked glass.
Yeah but can you imagine if that was it, (no chassis dings on the corners) couple of small scratches and just a replacement glass, these things were around $20k back then. And only if you were someone important, could you get one. (This could be the Emperor of Japans one)🙄

Like these magic Sony Reference ESL’s only for the Emperor of Japan🙄

Seems like the owners of the smaller SU-G700 are really getting off on their amp.
Now if only someone who owns the bigger brother SU-R1000 could give what you guys have done here on it’s thread, I’m sure it will be prove itself also to be a killer amp.

And BTW just saw on HIFIShark Technics big daddy SE-R1 first time ever for sale used and it’s got 1day to go on the auction, and still at only $4kusd 53kg/117lb so postage will be high.

How does the network side of things sound as it being a basically digital tuner as well,  (DAB+ sound) like we have in Au?

Also if you've done what's the sound like with a higher end dac feeding it?
