Technics SU-R1000

  I suspect this equipment is too new and I’m on the bleeding edge, but . . . 

   I want to cable my equalizer between the preamp and amp sections.  With every receiver I’ve seen, this would be accomplished by taking out some kind of connecting piece between the amp and preamp sections and simply cabling the equalizer in.  This unit is different, though–There’s no connecting piece to remove although there are a preamp output and an amp input. (I guess that the one side communicates with the other by magic.  Who knows?)

    Here’s the problem.  There are copious and dire warnings in the manual not to cable the preamp output to the amp input and I’m not sure if this also means I can’t use the equalizer there.  I don’t want to experiment for fear that I’ll have a weighty and expensive paperweight.

    The manual is mute about equalizers and I’ve emailed Technics to no avail.  Any wisdom would be appreciated.

@johnsonwu Hey johnsonwu, how do you handle the 100voltage equipments in japan? Are you using a step down transformer to use here in US? I am considering import one from Japan (the price is damn good...), but I am worried about the voltage input

New Technics is high(er) end, great amp, it’s beautiful - Grand Seiko of audio. I’d side with the no EQ camp, what is your source, Analog? If yes, try a better interconnect, silver via XLR. You really shouldn’t need an eq with a piece like that, even if you had the thing in a closet. Shame on Technics not answering you, it does appear pre in / amp out is one or the other. What about rec-in/rec-out?

Would that my ears were that good to tell the difference with interconnects.  The problem is the room which can only be dealt with (at least partially)  mechanically

(sound baffling--my wife would just love that) or electronically (the more wife friendly equalizer) 

 

I finally decided to route the CD through the equalizer--a kind of half a loaf solution.
