    Best integrated Sansui amp betweens 1970 early 80's

    I have the AU-7900 with matching Tu7900 tuner. After a recap it sounds sweet. 75WPC is plenty. The dang thing weighs a ton big fat heat sink . Black face looks so different compared to my 9090 in walnut case. They were both built in '76 and have subtle differences in sound.

    Anyone heard of Lion Audio in Dripping Springs Texas?

    I am still searching Texas or Oklahoma for a new tech. I wish I could trust this guy, but the horror stories have me spooked. 50 years ago I would not have thought twice but the world is different now. Too many scammers and thieves.

    Unusual issue with my AU7900 and TU7900

Little embarrassed to say it was a cable. it was not fitting snugly enough and cutting out. I swapped out the cables till I found one that...

    Unusual issue with my AU7900 and TU7900

    Had both units gone over when I purchased them. All seem to work well. Then I noticed and it might have always been there. The amp has a switch for mono-normal-reverse.

    Anyone heard of Lion Audio in Dripping Springs Texas?

    After reading those reviews I think I will find so That was my thought. My last tech had me show him what was wrong and verified that he fixed it when I picked it up. Also got a detailed work order with the units serial number on it. This threw me a bit, but looks like some here do parking lot...

    Anyone heard of Lion Audio in Dripping Springs Texas?

    Thank you for your response. His online presence looks good and I think he even sells some items online. I am leaning towards trusting him. The parking lot thing just threw me a bit. I can understand the strangers around the home stuff.

    Adding vu meters to an integrated amp setup

    Does that Fosi unit get its signal directly from a source or is it through a microphone for ambient sound.

    Help me pick out my next purchase

    I have been buying mid ‘70s Sansui units for the past 5 years. So far I started off with a 9090 non db which has been completely restored. Next I wanted an example of an integrated amplifier. Found an AU 7900 with matching TU 7900 tuner. Had both restored. These both sound great. Now I would...

    9090 non db imput selector switch issues

    That switch has been professionally cleaned twice. He is old school tech and took it apart once. Went back to him about a year later and he messed with it some more. Something about the "wafers" in there. Now it is not cutting out yet but i have noticed that switching between FM tuner and phono...
