TECHNICS SU-R1000 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER $9,999 REVIEW

The following bench tests cover the preamp, phono, and digital front end of the Technics SU-R1000. Measurements were taken at the RCA Pre-Out jacks. Proprietary digital processing such as LAPC was bypassed for these measurements. It should be noted that any potential measured benefits resulting from LAPC or ADCT processing would only be encountered at the speaker outputs terminals due to the design of the SU-R1000. Therefore, these measurements may not entirely reflect the final sound signature of the SU-R1000 as sent to the connected loudspeakers. I am not equipped to perform headphone power output or power amplifier tests at this time.
