Technics SU-G700M2 Grand Class INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER

Stereophile

|

July 2022

When I reviewed Technics’s SU-R1000 integrated amplifier for the December 2021 issue, I found its performance beyond my expectations. It practi-cally rewrote the ritual of listening to music on my home hi-fi. With its wealth of technological advancements, significant user options, and clear, three-dimensional sound, it cast a large sonic shadow over the other integrated amplifiers in my possession.

Traveling through time and space

In the April 2024 issue of this magazine, a piece by Editor Jim Austin appeared in the “As We See It” space. It was titled “On assessing sonic illusions,” and it has haunted me for more than a year. Jim’s thesis was that a music recording is a “synthetic, whole-cloth creation ... a complete fabrication.” He writes: “Very few recordings correspond to an actual performance. Most are studio concoctions with pieced-together instrumental tracks and artificial ambience that document no sonic event that ever occurred.”

Sticking with it

David and Alma Wilson must be doing something right. They’ve been married for 50 years, and for 36 years, they’ve owned and operated Accent on Music on Main Street in Mount Kisco, New York, about an hour north of New York City. In a recent, lively Zoom conversation with the Wilsons, it became apparent that staying the course is a viable approach, for marriage and for business.

Period-style listening

Last night, I sat on a bright yellow velveteen sofa eating red beans and rice while listening for three hours to blues and jazz from rare 78rpm records. I walked out feeling gospel-level raised up, with a head full of dreams and cultural memories.

Rock don't give a shit, you know

Punk rock was never meant to grow old. For their first three studio efforts, The Replacements epitomized the punk ethos. Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash (1981), the EP Stink (1982), and Hootenanny (1983) are loud, bashy fun.
