Hi Jaap, you have to check the phono amp, we always use the G700M2 by testing Technics turntables and many different cartridges. I can tell you it's great. The speakers we use are the Acoustic Energy AE509 because of the price segment. Yes the R1000 is a beast! @medonk, I prefer also without LAPC. The G700M2 has a MM/MC phono stage, high-mid-low adjusting which I do not use, the building quality is top. @ Dani , using the SL-1200G you need the 1000R " you don't drive an AMG with steel rims"
I listened to both the ...700 and ...1000 amp, with different speakers. While many seem to prefer LAPC, for me it somehow always sounded better without. But as you said... it's a free goodie.
Very good review. Thanks for taking the time to post it. You have convinced me to upgrade from my vintage Technics SA-800. I intend to use this amp to drive my Cerwin-Vega 12TR speakers. What are your thoughts on that?
Do you understand what happens to the signal path when used as a pure power amplifier (using the 'main in' input). Does it still make an attempt to digitize the signal before sending it to the power amp? I agree about LAPC, it does seem to make a positive difference. Thank you
only if the signal goes directly thru the preamp stage it gets digitized which for me is an advantage. the flexibility using the power stage directly thru the main in with for example a analoge pre-amp and seperate phono amp giving me the flexibility of switching two listening systems
Had this amp and digital part is excellent. Phono stage is not good compared to digital part. I have a technics 1200g turntable with top notch cartridge. Turntable sounded thin, lacking weight compared to digital. Tried 2 different riia with same result. Had high hopes for analog to sound as good as digital.
Any idea why the analog suffers? On AVR they seem to use less expensive op amps. I cannot find any detailed pictures online to locate op-amps if they are even used. The analog phono stage may use a different type of processing. Based on the reports of others the phono stage is good. Just purchased a used unit as I love the clarity of the old Technics AA class amps. Curious to hear it.

I have the su r1000. It's amazing

Yes... And you should really try it. It is not a gimmick.

I guess - so not 100% sure - that the a/d-conversion is only in the pre-amp.
only if the signal goes directly thru the preamp stage it gets digitized which for me is an advantage.

what is LAPC los Angeles police center? No seriously asking
Google is your best friend. LAPC stands for: Load Adaptive Phase Calibration. It is also explained in the written review.
@@TheAlphaAudio Seriously?! Google came back with page after page of results for LAPC. And ''Load Adaptive Phase Calibration'' was NOT one of them!

LAPC (Load Adaptive Phase Calibration)
Je kan deze kopen voor 2000€ nieuw op dit moment.
Will it drive KEF R11 properly? The low wattage scares me.
No problem

@@TrueStereo- I don't think it is the opamps. I think it has to do with the A/D conversion.
Im curious if there is by any chance that if you could review the technics su-gx70 😊 for comparison
This unit is returned now. So A/B is not possible anymore.
Does this unit have airplay or wifi built in?
You always say
