Oct 25, 2008 · The early G series Sansui Receivers represent the pinnacle of 1970's receiver design. If you want to compare them to other makes, you need to choose models from the late 1970s. You will find that all the Japanese manufactures of that era evolved from what was considered a "warm" tube like sound to something more precise.

Feb 21, 2019 · These were Sansui's attempt to build JBL killers, and by most accounts I hear, they were successful at making a serious speaker system with the SP-L models. That leaves the SP and SP-X series as the more commonly seen and known (SP-L were very expensive new, and apparently not sold in great numbers, thereby limiting their exposure).

Nov 3, 2002 · Sansui was a international stereo company (not domestic so much), with stereo patents, had a bunch of internal company problems and didn't change with the times. Like they didn't get into the 'video' concept, therefore had 'no patents' in video, vrs audio, which really hurt them cause video hit it so big.

Sep 6, 2010 · the SR-313, SR-717 are amazing tables (especially the 717) they were the predecessors to the SR-838 and SR-929 respectively and in all fairness where built so well that there successors didn't edge them out all that much (the 929 has a WOW and Flutter rating of .025% and the 717 has a WOW and Flutter ratting of .035%)

Oct 18, 2019 · With a bit of emulated vintage Altec/J.B.L. vibe in the mix, too. After all, Sansui was Altec/J.B.L. East Asia distributor. Only thing wrong with vintage 'sui speakers was their stock x-overs. Those demanding Coral drivers didn't like sharing …

Oct 9, 2022 · Getting a better understanding of the Sansui power evolution. At this point I am up to about 1979. There is no way I got all of the dates correct - crawling across the web the release date on each of these pieces seems to vary 1-3 years, depending on the source.

Feb 17, 2011 · By in large, the 1970s Sansui SP-200/2000/3500 (among a few other models), the 1970s AS-100/300s, and the SP-L series were the good ones. The others I really don't know much about but many of them, from what other people have said, don't sound all that great, and that may of been why people don't really care for Sansui speakers in general.

Nov 5, 2006 · Having owned all of the TOTL Sansui Receivers (except for the G-22000 and G-33000), here's my take on the "pecking order" in terms of overall desireability: Top Dog is the G-9000. The build quality was Sansui's best with a Dual Power Supply, Toroidal Transformer and Massive Heatsink.

Jan 20, 2018 · This is the same for all the Sansui's that track the bias off the drivers, the G8000/9000 is the same, turn the amp on, 5mins, set the bias and LEAVE IT ALONE, yes, the bias will drift down, but this is what they are supposed to do. If you don't the output transistors run way too hot with may too much current.

Jan 2, 2013 · I have a Sansui 5050 and a Sansui Seven. I think the 5050 is a nice smaller receiver. It is nicely constructed and fairly simple. I also think the 5050-9090 was a really nice looking line. It has enough power to play fairly loud but it seems to lack in low frequency punch compared to the Seven. So it depends on your use.
