Sansui G-5000 reciever

[craigmech]

Hi everyone,
I have the chance to but a G-5000 reciever for $135 and was wondering if anyone has any comments on the quality and sound of this unit.
I will be using primarily with a Technics SL-1200 turntable.

Welcome to AK.
The G 5000 is a good receiver, has a strong tuner, plays way bigger than it's listed output. No watt meters for eye candy.
If this is primarily a value question I can move the post to Dollars and Sense for you.

That's about the price they have been averaging on Ebay over the last month. If you can get it for a C note, go for it.

No not a value question, thanks for the offer though. I went ahead and picked it up last night. Extremly happy with it, Blows my mid 80s pioneer with a higher power rating out of the water!
