Technics SU-R1000 a new Class-D GaN Technology integrated




Maybe one to look out for.

There’s a new approx $10K integrated Class-D from Technics called the SU-R1000 Integrated Amplifier around 22 kg, 150w-8ohm and 300w-4ohms, would have been nice to see what it could do into 2ohms
.
Said to have many of the GaN Class-D features of the far bigger SE-R1. But nowhere yet can I find if it uses the 1.5mhZ switching frequency that "makes" the SE-R1 what it is.

Also it uses smp power supplies, even though it’s 22kg, Unlike the SE-R1 at some 60Kg because of it linear supplies.
No reviews or measurement tests as yet for this one from Technics

The Technics SU-R1000 is Reviewer Francisco's new Reference Amp, and all other amps will be judged by now !

the lbtech review does not even compare the amp to anything except to say it is not as powerful as the Mac or Hegel.....so what does that tell?....nothing.

The Spanish review says what?  Most of use don't understand spanish and there seems to be some pointing to a page that shows? a Mac and Pass labs integrated rated? better?  He has his JBL speakers (that don't don't image that great stock) right up against the wall......what kind of soundstage can he get?   Not very good.

These are not serious reviews.  We need a serious review by a seriously tweaky high end person....that actually describes the EXACT differences between this amp and other amps in its price range (both integrated or not) and the all out state of the art amps.....then we will maybe....know something.



For someone who preaches peace/love/woodstock all the time, you sure know how to go totally sour and bitter with things that don't even deserve it yet at every opportunity you can. 
Chill bro take another drag.
This "promises" to be a very good integrated and is way too young yet to be reviewed by anyone like Stereophile etc, it will soon. So lay off the aggro on it till things get done in due course
