Show Me Your Sansui!

7070 doing duty in the master bedroom. Streams fed through a Schiit Modi DAC. The Pioneer unit on top spins the silver discs. The Sansui was an ugly, coated with nicotine mess when I got it but it cleaned up nicely and sounds great with a pair of EPI 100V speakers at the end of the chain.

The 828 is not TOTL. That has been the SX-939, regarding that line.
aileenamegan; The 828 was the TOTL model for the x2x series when it came out in 1972. The 939 was 1 down from TOTL for the x3x series from 1974-76. The SX-1010 was the TOTL Model for the x3x series.
x2x series: SX-424, 525, 626, 727, 828. 1972 and 1973 model years.
x3x series: SX-434, 535, 636, 737, 838, 939, 1010 1974 and 1975 model years.
x50 series: SX-450, 550, 650, 750, 850, 950, 1050, 1250 1976 and 1977 model years.
x80 series: SX-580, 680, 780, 880, 980, 1080, 1280, 1980. 1978 and 1979 Model Years.
Model years went from Sept to Aug. like cars do.

OK, here it is (although not much to see)! What you are looking at is my Apparatus Room (aka cupboard - or closet in American
) where all the central stuff sits. Bottom of rack is a Behringer Ultralink above an XLR panel, just for buffering / balancing / audio distribution.
However, there is a problem. The cat5 cabling radiates so much hash that it swamps the tuner's front end. (No, it's not the wireless AP that's to blame, surprisingly.)
I have taken certain steps to make the tuner more EMC compliant (1800pF across output terminals, removing ferrite rod, modifying case to class 1 (i.e. grounded via mains input).
But the cause, alas, is the UTP cable loom, which I think I'm going to have to replace with cat6 or shielded. (Disconnecting everything from - or depowering - the ethernet switch silences all interference, resulting in blissfully quiet stereo reception from the external antenna at the other end of the house.

Consider posting the problem in the AK tuners forum. Might be that someone has a solution.....

as it seems its totaly impossiple to find servicemanuals or schematics or ownermanuals for some of the japan models from Sansui as im searching the papers for a AU-X11 since almost 10 month,noway to find any printed or digitalised copys arround on the whole globe --www
thats the sad story behind being infected by the SANSUILASTIONITIS VIRUS
cause one of my AU-X11 need a technical checkup
some say the schematica its kind of identical to the AU-X1 ?
beside great Sansui machines in here and #1 gorgeous pics from friendly people from allover the world as ill post some pics in short time of my latest catch the AU-111 im waiting to pick up at the costums soon.
Bom Shanka and happy landing

Did you already try a sheath current filter (TV ground loop isolator) for the antenna cable?

Thanks! How can I post big pictures?:scratch2:
I would like to show some more nice pictures.
Box on the top is electronic for record player. When I find some time I will try to upgrade record player with new head shell.
All most all parts were made on lathe and later painted (piano black).
