Thats a good question, RW. The 717 & 919 are both excellent amps. It would seem that Sansui intended the 919 to be a design improvement over the 717, though its possible there may be some things about the 717 that are actually better than the 919- I seem to recall discussing this very topic with...

I have a G-9000 in my Sansui collection and I definitely give it the :thmbsp: (My G-7700 & 55500 also have been excellent, so I certainly like the G series alot). If there is anything to "complain" about a G9K, though, it would be that since its the big model in the Line, it has alot more...

Thanks Wayne, the BA-5000 is truly an awesome amplifier, but your SX-1980 is nothing to sneeze at either. How do you like the '80 you have? B/F

Sansui has a very good reputation for their tuners. The models made from the 80's onward might not have the robust construction quality as their predecessors, but in terms of how they function as a tuner - pulling in stations etc.., they are quite excellent. Looks like the 711 & 701 are...

As you wish, (though this particular one is in black, not silver): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14980&item=5756510568&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW You can always wait until a silver one appears on Ebay, but I think this one is a good buy (BIN option), reasonably priced...

Gosh, I hope that 'white stuff' you got really is thermal compound :naughty: B/F

Dont be alarmed, but I am going to go out on a limb here and predict what you are actually seeing in front of you, (though the posted bmp file is a bit hazy) :sing: "do you see what I see.....?"

I just wanted to mention that if a 2000X is up for sale anywhere, you can consider that model as well for parts, as I believe the X model also has the F-1180 driver board. It doesnt lie flat, its mounted vertically, yes? I'm not saying its the cause of the problem, but its good to keep in mind...

Sounds like its a cleaning issue. Take the cover off the amp and have a look inside. Does it look rather dusty in there? Generally speaking, how an amp looks on the inside is usually a good indicator of how well (or poorly) the amp has been maintained over the years, in your case, we're...

Yes, those would be the TRansistors you are looking at, they have 3 leads (known as collector, base, and emitter in a BJT (bipolar junction transistor). The white 'crap' you see is likely the residue of heat sink compound (which aids to dissipate heat away from the component). Your computer's...

Actually, according to the serial # you posted, your particular model has a manufacturing date of November 1969. If it was an early 60's model, it would have tubes. If you notice in the Ebay auction, the seller writes its a solid state model (has transistors instead of tubes). Having a...

EW: Isao has quite a busy schedule, so I think he feels its best to just let me handle whatever Sansui stuff goes on here at AK. Right now, he is putting in alot of time & effort to construct a website thats devoted to Sansui tube equipment. He did show me a preview of it, and it looks...

EW: 1) Addressing me as "dude" is not necessary. Now that you are aware of it, please dont do it again. Just like I call you EW, (not "dude"), you can reciprocate the courtesy to address me as B/F, or Fred. If you have it in your mind to be annoyed with me, then just dont address by any...

EW: CORRECTION: I am not the one who opened up a can of worms, it originated from what YOU stated above. I am sorry if you are upset, but you dont have to feel this way. I dont think its necessary to make that comment about Isao ("then he doesnt know sh*t about people and customer...

Thanks Charlie: Infinity hit a home run when they made the Renaissance 90, they are absolutely beautiful looking/sounding speakers. (The company also made a smaller Renaissance 80). These models were introduced in 1992 and discontinued ~ 1996 or so. Infinity is now totally owned by Harman...

I just got an email from the seller. And I'll be darned - the seller is none other than the person who pointed me in the direction of the BA-5000 I bought almost a year ago. For that I owe him my eternal gratitude. It did take a big chunk out of my wallet, but I dont know if I'd ever find...

Hmmmmm, I looked at the Audiogon ad, and I'm trying to recall if I have corresponded with the seller before, Ray in Illinois with his '65 car seems to sound familiar...... :headscrat I'll have to search thru past Info on my computers. I do remember someone here on AK had acquired a BA-5K...

Nice pic, of a nice model. Now you sortve got me in a mood to fire up my 9090DB (or 7070), :) but Ive had the big BA-5000 warming up for the past several hours, so I think I'll be listening to it again tonight. Dont know if you saw it, I posted a power meters pic of the BA-5K last night, (in...

I dont have the service manuals for the B-2101 & 02 models, but I wouldnt be surprised if they share circuitry features in common with the X balanced integrated amps that Sansui was making at time, particularly the AU-G99X, and tracing the design origins back to the AU-D11 II. (Also has the...

You said you came across it a yard sale, but you dont exactly make it clear if you bought it. (Works great - meaning the seller plugged it in at the yard sale and it works great, or you bought it and took it home and it works great?, I suppose I will presume you did buy it). Anyway, as for...

I think it would alot easier for you to read a Sansui brochure which describes the features of the circuitry (unless someone else here would like to volunteer their typing time to write all the details). The brochure for the AU-919 discusses it, and you can find it at the link below. The...

Hotgas: I wasnt expecting Sansui to do any statistical analysis, especially when the company as we knew it doesnt exist anymore. Besides, does a 2005 car manufacturer care much about the reliablity of the autos they made back in 70's? My point is simply that a survey could be taken if...

Correct, both B-2101 & B-2102 are 200W. Each one has a matching preamp, known as.... what else, C-2101 & C-2102. B/F

Yes, the B-2102 is 200W. What is it that you would like to know about this model? B/F
