He lives!!!
Greetings and Happy New Year.
I was at the local "Hi-Fi" shop picking up my subwoofer and got into a conversation with the sales person. He asked what I was using to run my system and I told him a newly rebuilt Sansui 9090DB (unit is currently being rebuilt by Echowars). He asked why on earth I would waste my money on an old receiver like that. Frankly I wanted to drop kick the guy!!! He then asked me if I served in the military, more specifically Vietnam(i'm 24). He then said, "Come on in and let me show you the newest Rotel and Aragon equipment, it will blow that old Sansui away." So I humored him knowing full well that my Sansui was far beyond the quality of what he was showing me. Then... I went home.
This is what I make of it. I have heard that Sansui didn't get the best press in the US back in the day. Is the reason that guys in the service are so keen to the quality of Sansui because they were overseas where it received good reviews?
