VINTAGEO
Newbie in New B.
I picked up a beautiful condition Sansui model Eight receiver a few weeks ago and started playing it and found it didn't sound very good at all, one channel was kind of scratchy and the other sounded flat. made me wonder what all the hype was about..
I opened it up and noticed a blown fuse, so I replaced it with a smaller one to make sure no damage was done. Put it back together, and still left channel is not working, hmmm?
So I check the fuse in the back of the unit and IT'S blown, so I do the same thing, replace with smaller one.
Voila! Sound glorious Sound!
I did a video comparing the Eight to my highly regarded JVC Super Digifine AX-Z1010 and the results are, well surprising!
Doesn't this little receiver know it's a receiver? Not a high powered amp..Apparently this little receiver doesn't know it's place in the audio order of things!
I now know what the hype is about, and I never have replaced the fuses and it's been 3 weeks!
I do intend to do a full recap at some point, as soon as I can get caught up with other projects.
