Hello 'Sansuians',
Well I've been a voyeur for long enough so I had best bite the bullet and become a bit more of a participant this post looks a good place to drop a line.
AK is a great site and source of knowledge and experience in general but the 'Exclusively Sansui' one is especially dear to my heart.
There is (as Stereofun eloquently phrased it) just something about the best of their amplifiers that gets you nearer to how live music sounds, a realness, if you will, certainly I feel that way about the models I have heard and use and that I don't quite get with some of the other brands I have tried
-some come very close. I have a real soft spot for the The Kenwood KA6000.
I am in no way an engineer though I can solder and have some small electrical experience, enough perhaps to get the bones of some of the technical threads posted and I have successfully carried out a couple of the minor mods I have seen and felt competent enough to try.
I applaud any that have contributed to the various topics but Kevzep, Stereofun, Smurfer77, Blah Blah Blah and Hyperion a special thanks go your way.
I hope to work on a couple of units I have at some point and hopefully I can pick your collective brains.
The equipment is the route to musical enjoyment rather than collecting for the sake of collecting but I have to confess to amassing a tidy little number of amplifiers (speakers and CD players). Thanks to my understanding better half I have got to keep them, It helps that she is a music fan.
So time to 'fess up - my collection:-
Sansui; 2000 X, 3000A, 5000A, AU 7500, AU 11000, AU777 (my favourite, though the 3000a is quite sublime) and a AU999.
Kenwood; KA6000
SONY; TA1120, TA 1120A
Yamaha; CA1010 (my girlfriend's favourite)
All working and sounding very good but some in need of a look under the hood as most original and untouched.
Cheers,
Kato
