Rare Friday night Sansui

[naderpe]

:beer:Friday night and nothing going on, the work week is fading from the mind…24 ounce Fosters ale is nearly gone, and the Sansui sound sooo-sweet. Cold winter night with more snow to come, tunes are incredible, not too loud, but just right…..nothing like a warm Sansui to make it all right.

Anyone ever had one of those rare Friday Sansui nights where the FM tunes are perfect?

Friday night is the only time I listen to radio in these parts. Have a good one.

Oh yeah. Sounds real sweet. I was about to switch out my 2000A for my Fisher CA-271 with FM-271 tuner, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. The old Sansui just looks so cozy.

:yes:

Tonight will be 107.7 the Bone, Metal Zone, on the Sansui Eight Deluxe and Synergistic speakers.

The AU/TU-719 get a rest this Friday, because the wife is sick and the bedroom is closer to the 719's.

And the beer for tonight is Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA.

...Since I've got ,,Shorty'' ( my TU 555 ) - there were Sansui-Friday-Nights , of course...

..For the moment I'm thinking about climbing on the Rooftop to install a new FM-antenna - wonder , how many Stations shorty will be able to catch...

...BTW : the Beer is ,,Veltins Pils''....

Gotcha on every level except the FM part. Substitute vinyl. Although last night was not an example of this [from my Oh Crap! thread];

It looks like I damaged the base of the cantilever on the conical stylus that I just bought. When I was putting together the stylus/cart/headshell last week I realised that I connected the 4 wires incorrectly and then I proceeded to fix them. I forgot to remove the stylus and I accidentally pushed down on it with my thumb. It looked ok and I played a bunch of records that all sounded great. Fast forward to today. I bought one of those Magic Erasers and dipped the stylus into it a few times as described here. I then removed the headshell to have a look at the stylus with a magnifying glass. That's when I discovered the damage. At the base of the cantilever the black casing was missing a piece on one side and the cantilever was crooked from the lack of support. I played a record and it sounded fine but I'm not taking any chances. I had a nice stack of mono lps to play overnight but oh well, I guess not. I ordered a proper Audio Technica replacement from Needle Doctor. This broken stylus was a $12 aftermarket.

Turned out it wasn't the Eight Deluxe's turn. It was the AU-G99X, TU-X301i, and RSL Elans.:yes:

Au-g99x

The AU-G99X is one good sounding integrated. It is one of my favorites. To my so so ears, sounds similar to the AU-919 or the C/B2101 combo. Somehow it doesn't get the respect of the older AU's but then that's why we need a collection, no?

Happy listening to everyone,
John

Friday night Sansui. A warmed-up Au9500, some Abbey Ale and some Etta James singing the songs of Billy Holliday. RIP, Etta.
