Best Match for Sansui TU-999: Asthetics & Sound ?

Scottyegen,
I personally do not know Vlad, but if you use the member directory search feature on the "My Page" link you can contact him.

Best,

Dave

Corazon,
Can you put me in touch with Vlad? I'm searching for a Sansui tuner.

Corazon:

Thanks for asking. The matched pair AU-999 from dude in Chicago burbs and the TU-999 from Vlad (member here) sound and look great together. Thanks for Vlad for the super packing job. Dude from Chicago (Craigslist Naperville) has a basement full of Sansui 9090's (8 in all) for sale...quite an accomplished amateur tech he is! Self taught but employed in a similar field...

Good for you! Let us know how you like it.

I found a fellow with a darn nice looking and refurbished AU-999, so I should be set. Will play it this evening for first time....

Any of the '70's era AU 517, 717, 719, 919 Series Sansui integrateds would do the trick.

Regardless of what many might say, they and many of their Japanese designed and built counterparts of the time, were well built, robust, powerful and sounded pretty darn good. Especially the Sansuis.
