Technics SU-G700M2-K, black digital integrated amplifier

Classic amplifier with a high-performance DAC The SU-G700M2 has retro-classic design and fantastic sound. The SU-G700M2 Grand Class integrated amp has a classic look, with illuminated VU meters front and center. Under the hood, it's a state-of-the-art Class D amplifier with digital and analog inputs, including a versatile dedicated phono input. And its sturdy, high-quality construction is built to last. Natural detailed sound Technics makes really nice gear. You'll see their products in recording studios, DJ rigs, and hi-fi stereo setups - where the SU-G700M2 fits right in. Its robust and carefully engineered amplifier circuit uses high-speed switching for super-efficient power delivery to your speakers - 70 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 140 watts in to 4 ohms. There's sophisticated circuitry on board for reducing jitter and other noise. And you can engage the Load Adaptive Phase Calibration (LAPC) feature from the included remote to tailor the amp's output to your specific pair of connected speakers. The amplifier runs a series of test tones then applies correction, similar to room correction in a home theater receiver. Vintage and modern connections I'd be pretty excited to use this amp with a turntable - the Technics SL-1210G Grand Class , perhaps? Its gain-adjustable phono input can handle moving magnet and moving coil cartridges. You can also use the second of its two analog inputs to connect an external preamp if you only want to use the SU-G700M2's power amp section. It has ample digital inputs too. Two coaxial and two optical inputs let you connect a network streamer, CD player, TV, or other component with a digital output. And the USB Type-B input lets you connect a computer or external drive to get the maximum resolution - up to 32-bit/384kHz - out of its high-performance built-in DAC. For unobtrusive listening - and to immerse yourself in the magic of two-channel audio - there's a dedicated headphone amp with a full-sized jack on the front panel. El
