Sansui Japan was not half stepp'in when they made these.
If not #1, these have to be in top 5 best ever IMHO.
I heard one and any true music lover will be be blown away by its power and the sound,You will hear the difference from the first note.
Plinius, Krell and Classe all make sweet integrated amps. This Sansui is in a league by itself.
The parts used at this time in this Sansui piece are said to be the finest available at the time.
Find one ever? I doubt it,people never part with these.You never see one on Audiogon or e-bay ever.
That in itself speaks volumes on the quality of this Vintage piece.The above listed are available all the time.So either they don't satisfy or the just can't cut it.The Best of the Best you never see for sale, when You own the best Your search is over.Accuphase made some greats as did Luxman Japan, there is a difference.Don't believe me,check Luxman Japan you will see the dope amplifiers that the U.S. will never see.The Japanese keep the Best, and send us the cheap stuff. Compare Japan made to Taiwan made again it is obvious one is made to last, the other is disposable.Sony E.S. Japan
same thing, they keep the best in Japan the versions we get are cheap imitations of the Japan version with only the best parts used.
