Sansui Au-D9

[JumpingBean]

Does anyone know anything about this integrated amp?

It popped up at a local estate sale today with its matching tuner for 250 bucks. I can probably talk them down, but first I want to hear some opinions about this amp, I can't find much about it online.

Would it kick my A-S500's ass?

They sound really good. With a tuner at that price is a really good deal. I believe the AU-D9 is about 85-90 watts. I still have one packed away. I used it with some a/d/s/ speakers and some Klipsch Heresies. I enjoyed its sound for well over a year.

Excellent well built unit. I owned a D7 for some time and I really enjoyed it. $200-250 is a good price if it has the matching tuner.

I went back and they were about to close for the day. They only took cash and I only had 80 bucks in my wallet, walked away with the Amplifier.

There's a ton of static and dead spots in the knobs, but other than that it sounded alright hooked up to the bad sansui speakers they had there.

80 bucks for 95 wpc of vintage amp, I'm a happy little audiophile.

A nice integrated, and you should be happy for the price you got it for. Clean it up and enjoy!

80 bucks is a pretty good price since recent eBay sales are about $200.

I just picked up an AU-D7 at an estate sale but haven't had a chance to play with it but I'm looking forward to it. (I paid $35 for the D7 and they sell for about $100 on the auction site)

These Sansui AU-D7 (80wpc) and AU-D9 (95wpc) are very undervalued.

Probably because they are few years younger and collectors are not looking for them yet. Being young, they are very reliable, no need to replace anything.

Very strange that eBay selling them so cheap.
For instance, this year I sold on eBay Sansui AU-999 (only 50wpc) for 3 times more then I can buy AU-D7 / AU-D9.
