Sansui Au101 vs Au999

I am with Kevzep and Stereofun if you like the physical styling of the 101 regarding the 505. It has the same main amp as the 555A but a couple of differences in power supply and preamp that are closer to the 101.

I do not agree with the comment above that amps lose their warm tone when recapped; that is not my experience at all although I should not that tone depends a lot on the caps used, mainly in AC coupling positions, so if something doesn't sound right after a recap there are options to play with.

I don't have any experience recapping capacitor coupled amplifiers (although I'll be starting my AU4400 in the near future) so your experience could very well be different, for me the tighter bass response effects the warmth. Regardless it's a lovely smooth sound.
