Sansui CA3000 Preamp. Pioneer Spec Pream

I have two CA-3000's and they sound great. I don't know where the previous poster got his information from, but the Sansui is really high-end! A few people listened to it (experienced people) and they said it was the best transistor-pre-amp they ever heard. That should say enough!

I know where you are coming from -- I used to love the old, big pieces. Unfortunately, I think you will find they sound dreadful --- dead, flat, thin, lifeless, edgy. That's why I don't buy pieces like this I see for sale. Unless you just want to relish the physical appeal they have & the nostaglic feelings they create. High end, they're not.

they are massive and built in the '70's. most were purchased at px's because they were massive and built in the '70's. i woudn't hesitate buying either if you're in the market for a boat anchor or doorstop that's massive and built in the '70's.
