No XLR inputs.
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,
Nonoise

I checked with Music Direct when I got their new catalog showing the M2 with the updates but they're not in stock yet. I made sure I'm still on the waiting list and now it's just a matter of time, which is killing me. 😄 In the meantime, here's two recent reviews of the SU-R1000 to hold you over: https://twitteringmachines.com/review-technics-stereo-integrated-amplifier-su-r1000/ & https://www.stereophile.com/content/technics-su-r1000-integrated-amplifier All the best, |
I too ordered a SU-G700 and it was scheduled to be here tomorrow. I already arranged to send it back and wait it out for the M2. I am super curious to know how it sounds. Will the M2 be available in February as Technics has told me….will these be in very short supply as has been implied? Will the M2 give noticeable improvements in sound or are we talking 2%. It seems many small details have been addressed. I wish we had some reviews of the M2 to compare. |
