    Sansui 661 Idle Current Issue After Recap

    Well to be honest I never checked the idle current pre re cap so it may have always been like this. Amplifier was working good pre recap though it had a faint haze/fuzz on both channels on any setting (just enough to be annoying between songs) So I thought I would give it some love with a re...

    6060 vs. 661

    So got the Sansui bug a while back after purchasing a 4000, and wanted to try out other models. I don’t have a ton of money but traded for a 6060, and found a cheap 661 off ebay that needed work. It only needed a good cleaning and some deoxit. The 4000 is the winner. I’ll focus on the 6060...

    Hello All, I am posting here for the first time to celebrate my new system. But first, a little about me and my audiophile journey. My father was an electrical engineer and he taught me how to wire a component system when I was 7. He used to send me recorded 8-track tapes from far flung...

    Muting Issue Sansui 1000x

    My 1000x has some issues. In FM AUTO, the tuning meter is not working (stays at zero). The meter does work in AM. I have ~ 10 ft. of speaker wire in the 2 top 300 ohm antenna ports. I've tried moving the distant - local switch on the back. It doesn't affect the meter and doesn't seem to...

    Sansui 661 right channel dead - help?

    Hi everyone, today I purchased a Sansui 661 from a guy on Offer Up. I was assured it was in perfect working order, but when I got it home I found that the right channel is totally dead. I tried deoxit, but unsurprisingly it made no difference -- as I said, the issue isn't distortion, it's...

    Sansui 331 vs. 661 opinions?

    Hi everyone, I'm looking to upgrade from my NAD 3150 and have the choice between a Sansui 331 and a 661. The 331 was apparently serviced with new LEDs and a power cord, although this was a year ago and I think it's just been sitting in a store ever since. The guy said $140 was his best price...

    Sansui 661 speaker hiss and unit buzzing

    I just picked up a perfect-looking Sansui 661 for a few bucks on craigslist. I cleaned it and deoxed all of the controls, but it hardly needed it because it was so clean. I also adjusted the DC offset and bias voltages. However, there is a persistent hiss in the speakers when the unit is...

    Sansui 661 - Sound doesn't come on for 10+ minutes

    Greetings! My wife has owned this Sansui 661 since it was brand new. Everything works like a charm *except* for the sound which takes 10+ minutes before it comes on. No difference whether am/fm, phono or aux. Switching btw speakers and the headphones has no impact, either. Am not an expert...
