Sansui 4000


Purchased this receiver at a thrift store for $30 with wooden case.After a little cleaning and Deoxit it works and sounds great and was wondering what speakers and cartridges are a good match for the two phono sections.Would appreciate any information you can share.Thank you.

I suspect any MM cartridge would work just fine.   Receivers are designed to be pretty general and not fussy.  

Any speaker whose power requirements are about half to a third of what the power rating of the receiver should work okay.   Don't let the wattage rating fool you, manufacturers save money on current, so go easy on the amplifier - choose speakers that don't demand a lot of current.  

For 30 bucks and some elbow grease, you got a smoking deal!   I always grab deals like this when I find one!   Nice going!
