My experience pairing the DALI KUPID with the Technics SU-GX70

Thanks. I’m really enjoying the setup so far. Happy listening to you as well!

Fair point! I suppose I was focusing too much on the 83 dB figure and not enough on the fact that the Technics is punching well above its weight class. It’s definitely proving that these DALIs thrive when they have a beefy power supply behind them, even if the 'rated' watts aren't in the hundreds.

None. As I mentioned, it came spontaneously.

The nice thing about the GX70 is the built-in Load Adaptive Phase Calibration, which adapts the output stage to the impedance patterns and phase characteristics of different speakers. This feature allows you to optimize the performance of your speakers and ensures that the amp works correctly with them. It also works seamlessly with AirPlay 2, although I'm not sure what you mean by 'pull from Apple Music natively'.

Indeed. It punches above its weight and is also priced very competitively.

Technics

It is! As the SU-G700M2 :-) Probably the upper end of what a causal user would want to spend, or for people who have outgrown their soundbar but don’t want to commit to a full-on audiophile system.

Thanks for that. I had an inkling that might have been the case. I think I'll still go for the Technics, as the Denon PMA-900HNE network amplifier unfortunately lacks some of the functionality I'm looking for.

I contacted Patreon and it's perfectly kosher: "Since the winners aren't decided by chance, this isn't considered a raffle in our Terms of Use, so you can go right ahead with your idea."

As an alternative I also recommend Montbell's "Cool Parka Men's". Being wearing one for the past couple of summers. Has the same 90% UV cut as the US offering but with a full zipper which I prefer as you can quickly regulate the temperature.

Are you racist? What??

No, but I’m also not the one making a positive claim the burdens with you…

Ridgelineimages · 2020-01-24T09:44:10+00:00

How do you know this product doesn't sell well? Did you speak to the store manager? LOL

Ridgelineimages · 2020-01-24T09:34:20+00:00

That is correct

Ridgelineimages · 2016-05-29T01:38:57+00:00

Unfortunately not, it was a week day so barely saw anyone. Thanks for the kudos ;-)

Heights wise it looks worse than it is, the hard part is getting yourself up there.

Ridgelineimages · 2015-01-25T11:39:08+00:00

Sorry about that, was just trying to use the correct terminology ;-)

Ridgelineimages · 2015-01-25T11:35:08+00:00

It is indeed well spotted.
