Sansui?

I’ve got a g-9000 receiver and I love it. I also love the people that tell you that you’ll overpay for vintage equipment. Check out the prices for the new equipment.

the sky’s the limit. My sansui receiver, dahlquist 20 speakers, pioneer pl 518 turntable is just fine, thank you.

I sold Sansui in 1970. The 5000 was the top receiver - 55 wpc; good FM section and we had very, very few returns/failures. In the Army, I bought a Sansui 7000 receiver (Sansui 7000 on the Mainland). Liked it a great deal. Used it with AR-2ax speakers. 

I still have my first piece of high end gear from 1973, a Sansui AU 9500.  I had it re-capped quite a few years back but only listened to it once.  It's been sitting there ever since.  It was top of the Sansui line coming in at 75 WPC, 20 to 20000, 4 to 16 ohm.  A good 50 lbs.  I'm gonna pull that thing out of storage tomorrow and take a listen.

My first receiver was a Sansui bought from my friend’s dad. I owned and played it for 15 years and passed it onto a new home. Loved the sound of it!

Back in the day I had a Sansui AU 9500 and I loved it. Everything about it was beautiful right down to the feel of the switches.

That being said, I have no idea what it would sound like to me today, but the memories are glorious.
