    Sansui AU-555A vs. AU-777A vs. AU-999?

    Hi, I had the AU 888 & 999 and compared them in the same conditions. I kept the 888 that I still do enjoy a lot and sold the 999. An opinion I already shared here some years ago.

    Luxman C-1000 vs Accuphase C-200

    The C1000 is the best preamp I' ve tried and it is still in my main system. Below it were the preamp sections of the Sansuis AU 888 (very good too) AU 999 (didn't like it) and 9090DB. Last and boring was a Marantz Esotech SC11. In all cases my amp is the amp section of a Accuphase E406V that...

    Kenwood KR-8010 vs. Philips AH7861

    Absolutly right. The cd 880 made in Belgium is a gem perfectly built with a great sound. I've just gotten a Receiver 7861 from an american friend who have left Paris. I haven't pluged it yet but it also look great. I'll keep you posted when it's back in duty.

    AU-999 Recapping question

    There are far more tone settings with the AU999. These sophisticate circuits may well perturbate and plug the sound compared to the AU888. To my experience they really differ.

    AU-999 Recapping question

    My best Sansui experience among 9090DB, 771 & AU999 is the AU888. It definitly sounds the best, quick, detailed & fine. Rare but cheap when you can find one. http://audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=379064

    AU-999 Recapping question

    I discovered some good stuff in the Luxman prod of the same years (C1000 preamp) and I can highly recommend it.:tresbon:

    AU-999 Recapping question

    I never liked my AU999 that I received refurbished by a US professionnal. It did not hold it in comparison with my 9090DB and above all my AU888. I resold it soon. See you're not alone but it is hard to tell our truth among so many beleivers.:uzi:

    Post a Picture of your Tape Deck - Decks

    My tape and cassettes I like tapes and cassettes and I was lucky enough to find new and used ones during a stay in New Orleans and Québec. Things hard to find in a good shape in Europe. I got one R2R Teac and 5 cassettes decks. Some pics.

    CT-F1250 rebelt-how difficult compared to.....?

    Hi, I've donit with the help of Mr Porsche dvd (summary seen on youtube). It took me about 3 hours, being slow and prudent, to change the belts knowing that nothing else was going wrong. No special skills nor tools is needed. The unit deserve it but frankly speaking my Revox B215 is easier to...

    Sansui AU-888 score (yes, with plenty of nude pics)

    Agreed the comparo isn't really fair but I could do it meaning the preamp section of the AU888 deserved it and the winner is a more expensive pure preamp. But the more expensive (1000 €) Marantz Esotec C11, pure preamp also, lost the game by far against the AU888. I was also looking for a CA...

    Sansui AU-888 score (yes, with plenty of nude pics)

    Got my Luxman C1000 preamp today and I'm bound to say that everything from low to high tones is just finer, brighter, quicker and still smooth, than the AU 888 as preamp. When you like the good Sansui sound you'll love the good Luxman's one. I sometime heard about the lazyness of Luxman amps ...

    Sansui AU-888 score (yes, with plenty of nude pics)

    The prices may look horrifying for our US fellows on this site. But as there's no time limit for the adds you can follow the ones that have been there for long, make an offer and wait for the reaction. Thanks nosirrah for your appreciation that confirms mine in a more diplomatic way.

    Sansui AU-888 score (yes, with plenty of nude pics)

    Dear friends from UK Below the link for the most popular site of ads in France. http://www.leboncoin.fr/ I found there quite a good deal of my vintage gears with no bad surprise (or at least it's not riskier than ebay). There're an AU 888, a 717 and the 999 I sold to a guy who is now...

    Sansui AU-888 score (yes, with plenty of nude pics)

    I finally went for a Marantz preamp Esotec SC11 that I kept a couple of months without conviction. One evening I put the Sansui AU888 back in duty just for checking. And I sold the lazy and smooth but boring Marantz right away. Now I won an auction for a Luxman C1000 that I'm curious of...

    Still loving cassettes

    The best thing with cassettes is that I can buy plenty of them for peanuts or even find them for free at fiends or in the dustbin. Many kind of musics I just would never have considered in cd come to me in cassettes. I bought the expensive Pioneer CT F1250 & Revox B 215 and also for 25 € a...

    How about hpm60.. Worth buying

    I can't tell you about the HPM 60 but the HPM 100 are great. So if of the same vein, it should be very OK.

    Anyone heard of sonic as-405 speaekrs

    Just got a pair of these; 4 ways - 6 speakers. At first listening they are not ashamed in front of my Pioneer HPM 100. For 99 € its a good price/quality ratio and the vintage look of the wooden honeycomb front cover (sansui speakers like) is great.

    Which Speakers are You Using for Your Sansui Amps

    Hey I got a Pioneer CT F1250 and a set of HPM 100 driven by a 9090DB. Pretty close.

    Marantz Esotec

    I've just bought a Esotec preamp SC 11 in mint conditions. Exept for the phono section it did not bring me anything better than the preamp stage a Sansui 888 (among the best I know). I'm not convinced. Too smooth, less accurate and dynamic than the Sansui.

    8080 DB it works but no lamp does.

    Finaly I gave it to a professionnal who found out there was a naked lead wire sold somewhere (don't ask me where exactly) that was the fuse of the all lamps board. He told me it looked original and not from a previous anarchist repair. For whoever it may help : Look after the simpliest and...

    Sansui AU-888 score (yes, with plenty of nude pics)

    Thanks DCinDC for the comments. Having heard so big differences I have decided to go for a real preamp and try the tube experience. I've just ordered a Doge 8 on a chinese site still counting on the Accuphase to do the job of amplifying. The Sansuis will still be leaving on a second and a garage...

    Sansui AU-888 score (yes, with plenty of nude pics)

    Hello Guys, I deter this one as there are few threads on AU 888 that seems to be rare in the XXX serie. I am lucky for the first Sansuis I found were these two AU 888 & TU 666 in mint conditions.http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/images/smilies/tresbon.gif I use the preamp only to warm up the...

    8080 and 9090 Roll Call!

    I have: - 9090 DB and 8080 DB as receivers - AU 888 & AU 999 as amp - TU 666 as tuner with the AU 888 I've checked and rechecked with a friend on different systems and I'm bound to say the AU 888 sounds the best by far. They were all revised and cleaned by a specialist and left full stock. The...
