    Sansui 2000x vs Sansui 5050

    Hi all. I'm just hoping to get some useful feedback from people that have had these receivers. I would like to get a Sansui and these two, a 2000x and a 5050 aren't too far from me. The 5050 is around $150 more than the 2000x. I know both are perfectly fine receivers, and I bet I would be...

    Which Sansui to pick up?

    A few for sale locally: 2000 $165 5050 $125 551 $65 5000A ?? The 551 has some cosmetic issues on the face. 5000A has the tuner not working, currently at a local hobby tech, so no price yet. I have two quad units QR-4500 and 6500, but nothing in the 2 channel Sansui line. Would any of these...

    Sansui 5050 problem

    Picked up a pretty good-looking Sansui 5050 at Goodwill for $30.00. Lights went on but no sound. The F604 and F605 fuses on the F-2701 board were blown. The blown fuses were 1/16A but the board says 0.15A. To be safe I replaced with 1/16A fuses. The relay clicked, and I got very loud...

    Which sansuis should I keep?

    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...
