    Hi folks!!! I recently bought a Sansui AU-317 and after a quick look under the cover i noticed some capacitors, 6, have been replaced by axial caps brand ITT 100v 330mF.

    Sansui FR-D3 vs Technics SL-B20

    I have these two turntables, and both are strong runners. I am trying to determine which is the better unit for my humble stereo setup (Hitachi HTA-35F amp/tuner and a set of PSB Passif II speakers). Does anyone here have an idea how they compare?

    Sansui D90 Repair - Low Output Volume

    I've got a Sansui D90. I've replaced the belts and when playing a cassette, it plays at very low volumes, although when my amp is turned up to max it is audible. The playback level adjustment potentiometers make little difference. This is my first cassette deck repair so I am unsure of what the...

    Sansui AU-α907KX new owner question :)

    Good morning Sansui fans, I had a few Sansui amplifiers before - AU-X501, then 701 and now I'm a happy new owner of AU-α907KX and it sounds fantastic with my Infinity Kappa 8.2 :) I'm just a bit confused with a few buttons, I was not familiar with and I would kindly ask you if my assumptions...

    Problems with a Sansui QRX-9001

    Sansui R-30 Speaker switch!

    I bought this R30 because someone had knocked the speaker selector. Opening it I realized that the contacts in the switch are broken so it does not make contact. Any idea how I should bridge the switch by wiring it or ideas on how to restore the tracks?

    Ok, so I have recently rebuilt my AU-717 based on the brilliant restoration threads by Leestereo and Super Noob.

    Why isn't there any brand these days that comes close to the signature Sansui sound quality?

    Granted, saying that no brand these days comes close to the Sansui sound of the 70's and 80's (at least early 80's) might not be totally accurate since I don't have neither the time nor the money to buy every current receiver and amplifier in the market to verify this. It's just a notion based...
