Sansui AU-alpha 907XR photos

So much goodness inside this piece of Sansui audio artistry - it's the best sounding Sansui that I've had in my system. Built like a tank at 33kg with copper goodness throughout, including solid copper feet, a 13kg Tamura transformer, Elna Silmic Alpha Gold caps, Silmic filter caps, Riken resistors, and teflon sound deadening and resonance control everywhere. 160WPC @ 8 ohms.

Wow, I bet that one sounds good ! And very well put together from the look of it.

Aw Pete, now don't go all "xxkg Tamura transformer, and xx number of Riken resistors" on me, I don't think I could bear it.

But seriously, it is really beautiful, inside and out.

When I released the 907LTD/XR service manual I did think about just showing a picture of the front cover as a tease/joke (with the intention of releasing later after some fun).... wasn't sure anyone would get it.

That is very nice. Proof that you can get a quality Sansui with the new logo on it.

Absolutely - the 907s are beautifully built. The 907DR that I posted some photos of recently is very similar in terms of layout, design and build quality:

I’m a sucker for the Alpha line, same with the early Pioneer elite stuff. The late 80s early 90s upper end gear is where it’s at.

You should check out the Onkyo A919, the accuphase E303x, Pioneer elite A91d and the 71.

Some of those pieces look (and I'm sure sound) lovely!!

I collect integrated amps, the 71 is my top amp. The others id just love to have. just landed my 1st sansui this past weekend. I’ve recapped a 717 for a friend, but never owned a Sansui myself. Got lucky and found an Eight. Really dig your 907, it’s a work of art.
