I think I have sansui acquisition compulsive disorder.

As a recently re-acquainted hifi baby boomer, I have quickly developed a serious liking for 70's - 80's sansui equipment. So much so that I now have (within the last 6 months):

1 AU 417
2 TU 417
1 AU 217II
1 AU 317
1 TU 317 still in original box
2 AU 3900
1 AU 4900
1 TU 717
1 R-7.

This is in addition to an assortment of Luxman, NAD, Akai, Kenwood and Aura.

Played through Celef, JBL and or Sansui speakers.

Getting to be a problem.
 
Thanks SansuiSteve...me neither. My main concern is that the wife might notice. Hopefully she will just think I have one of each and just keep moving them around the house.
 
Got/had the same affliction.

AU-5900
AU-6600
AU-717
TU-717 (2 of 'em)
AU-9500 (2 of 'em)
TU-9500
CA-2000
BA-2000
TU-9900

Need an intervention.:sigh:
 
Oh yeah Pete, I knew there was some trait I was lacking.

Zolton, you're hooked on top shelf. Hard to source in Australia.

Forgot to mention my 661.
 
Compulsion...... What compulsion.......... it's just a little hobby.........


At least that's what I keep telling my wife......

Seems easier in Canada. In the space of a year, I managed to acquire:

AU-20000
TU-9900
CA-2000 x 2
BA-2000
BA-5000
CA-3000

I'm trying to force myself to stop looking at Craigslist. (I really NEED another tuner, though?
 
Sansui addiction / compulsion disorder. I can relate. lol

But I have it a little different than you guys.

On the subject......
I am mesmerized by skippy123's roster. It is like the Grand Canyon of Sansui rosters, the Chinese wall and Great Barrier reef all at the same time.
:ntwrthy:

How does anybody gets away with that ?

My boss had a Z7900 stored away at work he hadn't used for 20 years. I claimed it and fell in love with it straight away.Sadly it died a couple of months back so I now have AU717 / TU717combo. I also have a BAF1 / CAF1 combo on the way and I am also on the lookout for a G20000 as the one I had lined up fell through. My question is how long will it take for my wife to realise that all this Sansui gear didn't all belong to my boss and wasn't in storage at work for all these years? Its not really a lie if no one gets hurt is it?:worried:
