Technics Grand Class Products Preview

See the complete review of the Technics ST-G30 Music Server

Technics has been back on the scene for a few years now. For those unaware, Technics is Panasonic’s high end brand much in the way Pioneer has Technical Audio Devices Laboratory (TAD) as their high end product line.

Since Technics has reemerged, they have been rolling out a series of highly well received (and award-winning) products. These include their Grand Class electronics and Premium Class SB-C700 speakers. These products have been turning a lot of heads and for good reason. They are super high quality, very musical, and they are packed with tons of forward-thinking technologies much of which is exclusive toe Technics.

I have two of their newest products in for review now – the Grand Class SU-G30 Network Integrated Amplifier and the ST-G30 Music Server. As I alluded above, Technics has pulled out all the stops and packed these products with every conceivable high technology advancement they could muster. Also, these are decidedly Japanese products which means the build quality and execution are off the charts.

I don’t want to spoil my review, but I will say here and now that these are some of the most amazing audio products I have ever had the pleasure to evaluate. And this amp can’t possibly be 50 watts per channel. It sounds like it’s kickin’ 200 watts. Seriously.

Jim Clements

Jim Clements has been an audio nut since childhood where you could find him underfoot at his local high end store on most weekends. (This particular shop was within walking distance of Jim's home, much to the chagrin of the owner and his staff.) Jim's audio journey started early because he loved great music of all kinds. And he still does. Like most audiophiles, Jim was not particularly inspired by a vast majority of the audio systems he encountered. So his quest grew through his efforts to recreate a live listening experience in the home. This has proven to be a never ending quest. One major offshoot of all this is that Jim has become something of a cinema enthusiast as well. So now he's working on the video and surround sound conundrums too. Since perfect recreation of sound and video is a goal to be pursued but never attained, Jim derives his pleasure from the journey itself. He wants to help our readers on their own personal quests by reviewing products thoroughly and objectively. On a personal note, Jim is a Professional Engineer, licensed in California and Texas. He currently has his own engineering practice in San Antonio, Texas. Jim is also part owner of a small chain of craft beer growler stations in South Texas.
