    Need help changing needle/cartridge

    Hi, newbie here. I’ve a sansui p-900 and very recently bought a replacement needle for it. It’s a t4p AT - I can’t exactly remember the model, but when I replaced the needle and started playing records a lot of them were skipping/repeating. Tried the same record on the earlier needle and it was...

I have a cheap Audiotechnica turntable that I am looking to upgrade to probably a Fluance RT-85. I know there are better but for the price they are right where...

    Why 8ohms on old subwoofer?

    I stuck a camera inside my Sansui sp200's and I am wondering why the tweeters and midrange speakers are 16ohm and the subwoofer is 8? 8 is great but why?

    New Record Player

    Hi, I’m hoping someone can help. I got into vinyl last year after I inherited some of my dads old ones. For christmas, my mum brought me one of those suitcase record players (I know they’re bad now don’t worry!) I brought new one second hand for £120. I guess I’m just wondering if it’s good? If...

    Matching Amp to speakers..

    I’d like to drive my system a bit harder than it will currently allow. I really like my Sansui amp but realise it might be the weak link. However my old floor standing speakers are nothing to be proud of. I’d be happy to swap those. If I drive them too hard I blow a tweeter, although realise...

    Sansui AU-999 unstable & bias issues

    Hi everyone, I would to share with you my rather strange experience with a 1971 AU-999 recovered from scrap. I renewed all transistors and Elec caps on all boards and some resistors. The PS reservoir Caps but I’ll replace them eventually. The Pots and switches were cleaned and as far as the...

    Sansui made by Technics???

    I was browsing around the other day, and saw a Sansui R30 receiver. Nothing really special, but one of the pictures jumped out at me. When you look at the back of the receiver, you will notice the speaker connects are not standard Sansui. In fact, to me, they look like they were made by...

    Sansui SP-200 replacement tweeters/midrange suggestions

    Hi all, I acquired a pair of SP-200's that were in exceptional shape from a guy that had purchased them while he was serving in Vietnam back in the day. He had taken very good care of them, grills almost perfect and very clean, although he hadn't used them in decades. I recapped the crossovers...

    Sansui AU-717 and AU-517

    How do you guys go about these amps that lack a 'Mono' switch? Do you just use a mono phono cart for records, but what about mono 8-tracks or cassettes? I still listen to a lot of mono music. What is everyone's consensus on this topic?

    Old speakers with high quality AVR

    I have asked about using my Sansui sp200's on a newer amp such as my Harman/Kardon 1600, and I received responses saying the newer the speaker the better. I currently LOVE the way my speakers sound and yet they are 55 years old. Why are newer speakers known as superior?

    Issue on a new (for me) AU-666

When no input is plugged in everything is dead silent, but the moment i plug...

    Need help with Rotel RB-980BX power amp in protection.

    My RB-980BX was stuck in protection mode. I checked every component on the circuit board, replaced a couple of resistors that were slightly out of spec and replaced all the smaller caps. I could not find any issues with the output transistors with my DMM or the four large caps so I left those as...

    KEF accuracy in a more sensitive speaker?

    What's up AK, I recently picked up a Sansui AU-7500 from CL. I'm currently running a pair of KEF LSX which I got for a great deal, but I just don't love having powered speakers and there's all sorts of little finicky issues with the app, inputs, etc... that made going back to a solid, reliable...

    Sansui 9090DB

    Hi am new to this forum, so I really hope that I am posting in the correct place. I received this unit, owner says it wasn't playing in stereo, and had to "wiggle' the switch to get it to play sometimes (fixed that problem, with Deoxit). Well it played awesomely and sounded good. So as I was...

    Fixing up a cheap Sansui FR-D25 Turntable

    I'm trying to fix up a Sansui FR-D25 that I picked up very cheaply. It's for my teenage son. Like many teens he finds old turntables fascinating and cool but it's more to have some fun than for serious music playing. Excuse my ignorance. I'm not and never have been a vinyl guy, having bought my...

    QRX 3000 amp issues

    Hello. I’m working on a QRX 3000. I’ve rebuilt both amps but when I plug in to a DBT the light goes from dim to bright back to dim. No sound but the bulb just keeps going dim/bright/dim. Any reason why it would be doing this?? Replaced main Outputs with MJE15032. Also replaced TR...

    Yet another Au-999 rebuild

    Hello there. Been lurking around here for a while, finally pulled the trigger regards a rebuild and modding of my Au-999. I´ve had it for about five years; these units are somewhat rarer here in Sweden I believe. I have never done a rebuild of this magnitude, and it all feels a bit overwhelming...

    AU-317 left channel static

    Sorry if this is a repeat post, I tried searching but couldn’t find the answer... I just replaced the fuse resistors with metal film resistors on my 317. Huge improvement, definitely needed to happen. Right channel now sounds great. Left channel has a crazy level of static and lower volume than...

    Sansui Loudspeaker Cables

    Many years ago (in the 1970s) I worked as a help for the Danish agent for Sansui. During that time, I heard for the first time about Audiophile cables: Sansui sold (Gold-?) loudspeaker cables at the ridiculously high price (for the 1970s ands my budget as a starving student) of around £100 for a...
