sansui au 717 integrate amp

Get something newer, that Sansui is wayyyyy old...

-RW-

RW-so am I but that doesn't old is bad. For $350 what do suggest? I'd put my Sansui up against much of the crap out today.

Mik971, Yes I would like the contact information of the repair guy in madtown.
I am still a cheeese head but have moved to a warmer climate.

Thank you

Hello,
Agoner - Ezekiel did a complete service to my friends Sansui receiver. He aligned the tuner and went through the unit with fine tooth comb. Control and switches were cleaned. All caps were replaced with fancy types - Panasonic...... so forth, larger power caps. It did run about $600 but this was not a NOS level refurbish. The receiver has been trouble free for several years now and sounds very nice.

I can't say if it is wise to plunk down up to $650 for repairs on a Sansui. That said I have seen their separates on Ebay fetch really big bucks. The AU717's Solid State sonics are quite respectable, but don't inspire me, the way my much more expensive tube gear does. The TU 717, on the other hand, holds its own with my other tuners, but I am no tuner expert. It sounds like the OP is not willing to spend a lot of money in his quest for audio, so perhaps a moderate expenditure of a couple of hundred for new caps and such, is indeed the best way to go.
