Hi there - I have read a bit about the oscillation issues present in this amp. If I were to buy one at a reasonable price - if the outputs were blown - would it be fixable? I presume we aren't talking about a "VFET" situation here and the outputs could be replaced with modern equivalents, and appropriate circuit mods also made to make the amp more stable?
The second part of my question will piss some people off - sorry - I love the sound of the earlier sansuis - and am NOT a fan of the later ones. for example, I had an AU-X701 and I did not like it - it was nice and detailed but very clinical and too "sweet" for me. (I prefer that vintage "chunky" sound...!) So how does the AU-X1 SOUND? If I get it, would I be likely to like it?
thanks!
