    Feeding the Sansui bug

    I think it bit me. I remember Sansuis from the '70s, which were talked about in tones of awe rivaled only by McIntosh and Marantz. My first equipment as a teenager was mainly midline Pioneer, Kenwood -- still good-sounding and good-looking stuff -- but about five years ago I bought my first...
