I believe the 7000 has the toroidal power transformer and the 7500 does not. Both are great but the 7000 has a better amp. Wait for the techs to respond though as I am not one.

The G7500 is not in the same league as far as build quality as the G7000. Pass on the 7500 and go for the 7000. In may most humble opinion the 7500 as all of the GX500 was produced with "leftovers" of the G-X000 series to clear the way for the, at that time latest technology which was/is our now famous BPC (Black Plastic Crap) era! The GX000 series was the last series of audiophile like receivers. Sansui did try again with the GX700 series but they too did'nt share the build quality as the GX000 series.

7000/7500
Hello,
Have had G-7500 for 28 years, Excellent 90 wpc receiver, and short of
lights, and A couple "tune ups", has worked flawlessly for almost 30 yr.
I also have a G-7700, 120wpc, that I would sooner let go than the7500.
Some of the aforementioned differences in the previous post, regarding
build quality, between x000, and x500, I haver NEVER heard before, so
don't know if there is anything to it.....Mine is very well built, with no
known shortcomings, short of 'eating' lights every 10 yr. or so.............
Cheers, T

And here I thought sound quality is what mattered. Can anyone honestly say they could detect a difference?
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, even if it's wrong.

The main differences are:
G7000 has toroidal power transformer and G7500 not, G7000 has separate driver board with better design, G7500 has driver stage integrated into power supply board, G7000 has separate power supply for left and right channel, G7500 has one power supply for both channel. G7000 has large dual capacitors.... G7500 has smaller...
Regards!

Choices
Kale hit it right on the head, include that generally the build quality of the 7000 will also be better, wire bundles tied up better, internal structure is beefier typically.
If they are the same $ I would go with the 7000, but a close visual inspection of both should tell you which one, are all the knobs there and original?
How's the case?
Any evidence of rework/repair done?
Which receiver, when you stand back about 10 feet looks best?
Any chance to do an A and B test with the same speakers?
Buy them both, they are both great units that should provide years of dependable service.

Hello...
Anyone knows the POWER RATING of both amps?
Thanks,

You are mistaken about the G-7000.
The G-7000 is rated at 85 watts/channel into 8 ohms.
You are correct about the G-7500.
I suggest to stay away from these receivers, a Pioneer Sx-950 is way easier to fix.
Why stay away?, they are cheaply made, they cheaped out and only used one pair of o/p bjt devices, just to save a few bucks. That is why there is nothing saying that they are rated for 4 ohm speakers, because they blow up so easy.
Like I said in a previous post, I am re-designing a G-7500 and putting in a SX-1050 power supply and a LME49830 lateral MOSFET amp.
It is a lot of work but it is the best fix for this unit.

Will this work on a G7000?
