Sansui G 5000 question

[sonix]

Hello everyone,

I picked up a Sansui G 5000 recently. What do you guys think about the sound of this unit? This is my first G model and it sounds very clean and detailed almost on the bright side with my Sansui Sp 2700 speakers. All other Sansui receivers sounded a bit warmer than this model.

Also I don't have any display light. I looked inside and it looks like only one light bulb that is burned out. Is there only one display light or am I missing something? If any one could give me a good source to get the correct replacement bulb I would greatly appreciate it. :thmbsp:

I personally am a big fan of the G series. I've never heard the 5000... but if you like it it's a good deal for ya :thmbsp:

Member Dgwojo {sp?} is the bulb expert here.
The G5k is a fine receiver in it's own right. It is bright sounding as is characteristic of all the "G" model receivers.
IIRC there is only one bulb, if you look at it carefully you will prolly find a name and rating, prolly a Stanley at about 8 volts. 300 ma.

Try this guy for the bulbs....http://www.dgwojo.com/index.php?p=1_2_Products

he is an AK member and deserves our support, if you can find what you want on his site, send him a message, I am sure he will have what you need.

I am also a big fan of the G series receivers.
The lower G models do seem to sound brighter than the bigger ones...
But its because they are extremely low in distortion and produce a very consistent linear sound in the top end, you will hear detail in the music you have never heard before with these amplifiers.
Now that I have a G22000, I can tell you these are anything but bright, they are full sounding and extremely clean and detailed, the best Sansui I have heard by far......( I dont like the term warm)
