    Tonar 623DE stylus for Shure M91ED cartridge

    Good morning everyone, I'm looking to replace the stylus for a Shure M91ED cartridge that I'm using with a Sansui SR-212 turntable. From my research, the Tonar 623DE is a entry level elliptical stylus at a very reasonable $50-$65 price range based on what I'm finding on the bayer and amazon...

    JDP adventure III, restoration of a AU-D707

    Sansui AU-D707, or better known internationally as the AU-819. Or maybe better said, not known, because you never see them. It seems Sansui run it really short and replaced it with the AU-719 internationally. ( A more powerful version of the AU-D607 with a passive pre-amp when you putt tone off...

    Sansui and Their Mis-worded Service Manuals. AU-666

    Here is the Sansui Au666 Current Adjustment Instructions. And I am not making sense of their wording. It says to put the Meter in place of "F003", but also to point 27"which I believe is filter block, and Point B1,and B2. But I can't do both at the same time right? Also point "27" only exists...

    Sansui Au-666 Error on Schematic PNP Driver/Output Transistors. "Correctly Drawn/Fixed"

    So I noticed an error on the AU-666 while tracing all my wires back throughout the entire amp. Based on evidence left behind, this was probably a revision Sansui never fully finished in the manual. They show the collector of the "TR813" 2SA537 driver transistor going to Pin 8 on the Driver PCB...

    Sansui AU717 dropping left channel after rebuild

    Hi All, I restored my all original Au717 last year following Leestereo's guide and parts list.

    Sansui AU-111 is becoming a holy grail among vintage and Sansui fans, it is near impossible to find one offered for sale in recent years. Which vintage amps out there that could offer a sound that's near the AU-111? Especially, that illusive "aura" of tube amp? The AU-70? Or any SS amp? Then...
