sansui 5000x

5000X with original f-1040-1 boards here. Have a set of bonzoro boards rev d f-6013. Coming into a couple issues with the new boards. Where do I connect power leads to the reproduction f-6013 from 1042-1 diodes stack. Originally DC+ went to the output cap and DC went directly the the 1040...

I have the opportunity to pick up locally a pair of KLH 17 or University LTV Medallion for the same price ($200), both in mint condition. The KLH was even recapped but I’m not sure if the University was recently serviced. The seller got them from a tech who said they didn’t need it and they do...

Can anyone give me a good reason why someone would undo the physical connection between these two transistors? My guess is it was an attempt to solve a problem with the wrong answer. I might guess someone suspected noise was caused by the thermal interaction of the two transistors. My second...

We have a Sansui 5000x that was purchased in July 1971 while I was in Vietnam. It has been used almost daily since I returned home. The right channel no longer works and the volume control on the left is very sensitive - like all the power is going to the left channel. The same is true for...

Hi guys, I am new here, but hope to find answers to some questions. I really like Sansui 5000X, 2000X and Harman Kardon twin receivers, but the information about these receivers is very different in terms of the speaker protection. My question is do these amps have speaker protection circuit...

Hey all. I currently own a Marantz 2220b receiver and am considering purchasing a Sansui 5000x. Is this a good step up or should I just stick with the Marantz? I know they’re pretty different as far their wpc are concerned. I’m honestly not really sure I need the extra power. The room my stereo...

I'm looking for opinions on which receiver to keep. Both are in superb cosmetic condition. Both are in working order, and have the vintage solid state Sansui sound I love. I have to thin the herd at some point, so I'm hoping some of you have some insight or suggestions on which receiver I...

Hola, im trying to decide which reciever I want and im torn between two that are available. Im looking at an Pioneer SX-850 in great working order, and Sansui 5000X, I love them both, but can only have one. I can pick up the Pioneer for considerably less, but the Sansui is local and I have...

I'm pretty sure I know what the usual suspects are here, but I figure it's better to ask than to assume, particularly with a group as knowledgeable as AK. I've got a Sansui 5000x that's been my daily driver for years. It's always had a fair amount of static on both channels on any input. The...

Hi Sansui Experts, I recently took it upon myself to buy yet another receiver, and another Sansui, the 5000x. First impressions were "wow, this is my new favourite receiver" But I soon noticed a problem. If I disconnected the amp to swap/compare with the previous love of my life (a Marantz...

Hello, I have the opportunity to purchase either of: - Sansui 5000x for $170 USD - Sansui 3500 stereo receiver for $60 USD Sansui 5000x has wooden cabinet, supposedly plays fine but lights of front panel (tuner, tuning meter and selector) are too dim or they have gone out: Sansui 5000x with...

Lately my family has become concerned with my hoarding units, so I think it's time to clear out a little. Right now I have seven sansui units and have decided to keep only two. The problem is deciding which two to keep when many are not working as of right now so comparing is a little difficult...

Hello all, I recently picked up a really nice Sansui 5000x. Got it home, everything sounds good except the phono inputs. I start with my turntable, and it just sounds really staticky and awful. So then I check with a few other inputs. Still distorted. Did some cleaning with Deoxit, still sounds...

I`m running a Sansui 5000X which has 55wpc I have it hooked to four KLH model six speakers and run all four together on ch A,B With the volume half way up everything sounds fine.I would like to listen much louder but a crap sound starts past having the volume knob turned more than half way...
