Sansui TU-9900

[x2turbo]

Picked up a T-9900 off CL recently. Not a score but a fair price. I've always wanted a Sansui Integrated and Tuner combo and thought this was a good start.

Now I have to find an AU to match. Maybe a 11000 or 20000 if I can find it for a reasonable price. In the meantime I'll hook it up to my Marantz 1060 after I get a chance to go over it.

Wow that is sweet. The TU-9900 is supposed to be one of Sansui's very best tuners. You will love it I'm sure!

your disgustingly organized shop shames me....


Check the resistors too. I've found them out of spec in those and it makes them act 'strange'.

Congrats!

Congratulations on your purchase.

That tuner will make some fine music for you.

I only straightened up the corner that was in the pic

I have 150bft of QS white oak taking up the rest of the worktops waiting for me to get motivated to cut it up into a couple of bed side tables

IMHO the TU 9900 is the best analog tuner ever made, but I am biased.

I hope you are right!!

I read the same thing. I have the AU 9900 but couldn't find the matching tuner at a reasonable price. Also, very few FM stations where I live. I rarely use the radio for that reason. I had it good when I lived near NYC.

I would say, the TU9900 is one of the best tuners ever made.
There is also the X1 by Sansui, a KT917 by Kenwood, a K&H 2000 by Klein und Hummel, a REVOX B760...
Unfortunately I only have the TU9900, KT917 and Revox B760.
