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

What happened to the LKV Veros, which used three toroidals?

Let's face it, reviews in the two mainstream mags that contain even a brief comparative section are few and far between, and when they do, the components that are compared are usually nowhere near the same price bracket.  The mags won't risk pissing of manufacturers by printing statements like brand X performed, overall, better than brand Y.

Look what happened with Herb R.'s much-heralded cable survey that was announced a number of months ago.  How many installments did that have?  One.

I have no doubt that the Technics unit sounds good.  Whether it outperforms other 10K integrated's--that's pretty exalted company--is another question.

Focusing just on GaN technology, 10K gets you a pair of AGD Audions + well on your way to a really nice preamp.  Food for thought.
