Exclusive First Look | Technics' SU-GX70 Streamer & Amp Revealed

Joe ambushed Kevin Walker from Technics to get a first look at the new SU-GX70 - a new streamer and amplifier that's packed with features and sounds GREAT!
Technics make use of trickle down technology, so you can reap the benefits of technology used in more high-end pieces of kit. This means removing jitter, high-speed silent power supply, LAPC, and space tune.
This piece of kit sits beautifully in the middle of Technics' range. It's full of features that make it multi-purpose and a great option for all sorts of uses.
It was brilliant to chat with Kevin and see this all-new product - come and take a look at it at the Hifi Corner!

Technics is really putting out some awesome stuff. I have the technics su-r1000 and sl-g700 sacd. It so good value.

[@jguilmoto7584]

Lucky man ; this stuff looks SO good.

[@Brett1334]

Looks amazing and everything I’m looking for in an upgrade to be fair, however I’m just a little worried about power? 40w in 8 ohms? I have slightly hard to drive speakers, not sure if this would be ok with these?

[@hi-ficorner]

It’s not a power house, but we have had it driving some ATC SCM11s which are notoriously difficult and it sounds very good. What speakers do you have?

[@Brett1334]

@@hi-ficorner I have buchardt s400 so 4ohms, 88 sensitivity, they sometimes take a bit of juice to get them pumping, alot higher sensitivity than the ATC though you’ve tried so gives me hope!

[@kevinwalker8639]

It does also have pre out if you have a power amp?

[@kevinwalker8639]

Hi @@Brett1334 we are looking at late June if all goes well.

[@ArunPaul-Malaysia]

It's made in MALAYSIA but I am bemused that we can't get it here in MALAYSIA. Why the discrimination? Do we not deserve good things?

[@hi-ficorner]

Give us a call we can ship one back over :)

We don’t get Technics products in South Africa either.😫

_”My better half won’t allow it”_ sounds like you sharing your home with a dictator! Unless of course they have an allergic reaction to the gear or the budget doesn’t permit, it absolutely makes no sense that you get told what you may or may not have.🤷🏻‍♂️ You most probably have no say on which pots & pans and how many pairs of shoes she gets!!🤷🏻‍♂️ That’s sad!😫

[@AndrewWood-t7g]

Technics have really got it together at the moment.

[@hi-ficorner]

Totally agree

Another really nice product from Technics. Stop it guys, you are ruining my bank account, the enthusiasm is contagious.

[@kevinwalker8639]

Sorry about your bank balance but definitely not sorry for tempting you with great products 😁

[@Turtleback8024]

I’d appreciate my bank account being ruined any day! For as long as I get to see the product in person… let alone buy it! The joys of living in a 3rd world country!! Donald Trump’s infamous words spring to mind.🙆🏻‍♂️🥲

[@robertbride4526]

Seems just like the SU-G30 at half the price. If so, wow.

[@kevinwalker8639]

A great product ahead of its time! I still use and love mine!

[@drewyoung2102]

I am sure Panasonic is making a great product, but they are not committed to app. Perhaps it does not matter if spotify connect finds it directly.

[@williemclean3224]

Technics needs to make an affordable Stand alone SACD player.

[@El_white_horse]

What class is this amp ?

[@larryhazelwood5491]

It is digital till you get to the speaker outputs then analog.

[@rufdymond]

This looks like a great product, but I guarantee it will be let down by the software…..it’s always the weak spot with these products.

[@Sethy22]

Is ROON coming to this ? anyone ?
