    Nice review!
    Im a proud owner of the gx70. The amp still surprises me everyday. I got the amp hooked up with a pair of sonus faber sonetto 1’s. Fun and loving amp!

      I bought it and it was awful. Veiled, no power no dynamics, had to turn it way past half way for normal listening levels and it sounded lifeless. I wanted to love it but it sounded like a two hundred dollar amp not a two thousand dollar amp.

    Thanks Thomas I will always have a sweet spot for Techniques '
    Back in 1999 I bought their 6 channel reciever the TA-SA50 - back then their wasn't no 5.1 !!
    The subwoofer counted as a full channel of its own ' Miss those big Vu meters ' I paid $799.00 at Circuit City ' I remember it was the 1st time I had an amp with DSP It had Hall/Stereo/theater/ect ext and tone controls but dam it ran hot !

      I had the gx700 mark 2 the bigger brother for two years and I replaced it for the EVO 150 DeLorean Edition. The features only make it a far better amp and the sound at the same level but louder and fuller. I would agree with you, is small and does everything.

    Hi, superb review! I am looking to upgrade my setup/change from a marantz sr5014 av reciever to a more stereo focused integrated amplifier. I am very interested in the GX-70 but have the opportunity to purchase a Gold Note IS1000 second hand (5 year old) for approximately the same ammount as a new GX-70 (gold note about $100 less). With your colleagues recent visit to Gold Note and experience woth theor prodicts. Would you say it is a better option to go for the gold note? It lacks hdmi which I would love but think I could live wothout it.
    Thanks again for a great review.

    Sounds eerily similar to the feature set of the Lyngdorf TDAI 3400 but at a FRACTION of the price. Thomas, how do you think this will compares? Maybe it’s been too long since you’ve had the Lyngdorf to comment..?

    How long will Technics support the internet radio this time? I own a ST-C700 "network player" This thing wasn't a year old before this function stopt working. Bought my first Technics equipment in 1987. Always been a fan, but now, never again.

      @thomasmartin2219 21 день назад

      Actually, we try to make the answer 'yes' quite frequently. It isn't really an interesting question if the answer is predetermined. See Final, Icon, SVS, BACCH, JBL, Gold Note, Audiovector and many more for 'yes' thumbnails. Still, we''ll work on crafting them to be more intriguing. Thanks.

      The video is sponsored by SVS Sound. They have the ad space in the middle of the video, so it is no secret. Just like television, podcasts, radio, websites, Facebook, Instagram, newspapers, non-premium YT etc. The manufacturers who supply equipment temporarily for review do not pay us.

    mass produced Japanese gear is by definition no better than mid-fi; the more stuff in the signal path, algos included, the greater the deviation from accuracy. Polite is boring. Musicality is everything.

      To me the product isn’t anything close to his product, it is an all in one package as opposed to his amps that have no streamer. This is more of a lifestyle product than a hifi product to me. Great review

    Such a bad comparison. Tesla has the "most advanced" techniques, but implemented in a crappy and user-unfriendly and practically unsafe way. Phones today, even and especially "premium" ones, don't have many very practical and user-friendly features that used to be standard, such as headphone jacks and SD card slots.
