Technics SU-A700 mk3 Amplifier

In the modification of the 700th model Technics uses the components that affect the sound quality. The anti-vibration chassis, the electrolytic capacitors of the Master series and the power transformer with the R-core, which has minimal parasitic magnetic radiation, are borrowed from the previous version. The company's special pride is the power amplifier chip, in which the field transistors work in the AA class mode. The amplifier gives the power of 92 watts per channel at the load of 4 ohms, and at the power of 85 watts the distortion is 0.01%, which is much better than specified. Purchasing Technics SU-A700 mk3, you get an almost complete set of adjustments and modes. Technics traditionally refuses to use loudness, believing that disconnectable tone control is sufficient: ± 8.5 dB at 100 Hz and 10 kHz. However, we must admit that this is not an absolute alternative in all cases. An elegant remote control gives you the possibility to control quite a large number of functions (up to 35).

Technics SU-A700 mk3 amplifier confidently reproduced musical fragments of various difficulties. Pink Floyd on the vinyl version of the Dark Side of the Moon showed a good quality of the corrector's work for the MM head. The sound was confidently detailed, although there was a slight lack of sharpness at high frequencies. Speaking about modern sources, there is the impression of almost perfect work of a powerful amplifier with the correct power source. As for the classics, the amplifier seems to be even too big for house. The violins in the quartets of Beethoven seemed to be somewhat larger than their sizes.
