Integrated Amps You Will Never Sell

[jim249]

I have an Onkyo A-10 amp that I will never sell. What do you have?

 

[Ds2000]

Pioneer Series 20 A-27. It's at a friends place...I hope.

 

[ghamilton]

Sansui AU-919

 

[KingBubba]

Pioneer SA-9500II.

 

[KentTeffeteller]

My 1967 McIntosh MA 5100 (only other integrated I'd even consider would be a MA 6200)

 

[Dswankey]

As much as I want someone else to enjoy and utilize it on a regular basis I'm having a hard time letting go of my Sansui AU-717

 

[rottalpha]

Pioneer A-90

 

[Bassblaster]

If i were to get one, it would be a Fisher CA-276. would get one and NEVER get rid of it.

 

[Opus]

I am very happy to have my Denon PMA 860 Integrated.

No snickering but I will never sell my Sansui A80 it just sounds right to me. I just ignore the fact it has a pegboard bottom.

 

[rottalpha]

Pioneer Series 20 A-27. It's at a friends place...I hope.

you should keep the pioneer but you should definitely sell those Scepters... and you should sell them to me

 

[Chrisxo55441]

Only have one but its a keeper - marantz 1060

 

[r_deming]

yamaha a1000

 

[lico]

MCS 3865. Not that I would get much for it if I sold. But it's better than most.

 

[Splatter Pak]

Luxman A-007. I've had seven different amps on my Vandersteen 2C's, but this amp (at fifty watts) is stunning.

 

[ryuuoh]

The much maligned SU-8080 will be here for as long as I can keep it. But, I tend to the cheap side of audio.

My Luxman L-530 will have to be pried from my cold dead hands. (picture from web, not mine)

Just now, thinking about it, I can't see myself selling any of my current amplifiers

Sansui AU-717 - fully reconditioned.
Sansui AU-D11 II - fully reconditioned.
Sansui AU-919 - fully reconditioned.
Sansui AU-X701 - fully reconditioned.
Sansui C-2102 - fully reconditioned.
Sansui B-2102 - reconditioned - less main PSU capacitors.
Sansui AU-X1 - fully reconditioned.

Another Update 2025
Sansui AU-α907MR - partially reconditioned - because it doesn't need more than that right now.

I don't think I could ever part with my NEC A-10II.

 

[savatage1973]

MCS 3865. Not that I would get much for it if I sold. But it's better than most.

I am pretty much an all-separates guy, but I have one integrated in my bedroom system--an NEC AUA-8000e (which was also sold re-badged as the MCS 3865). Performs well beyond it's weight class, and I will never get rid of it. True dual mono design (w/dual power transformers) and built like a tank. It's definitely a keeper--and a lot more rare than it's MCS brethren, since NEC did not make a big splash in the US market, rather they chose to market re-badged gear for other retailers.
