The Golden era of Japanese integrated amps, are we missing out?


Maybe it’s just me but.....
I just threw together an el cheapo system with a Sansui A-2100 integrated at its heart and diminutive Wharfedale Diamond 220 speakers.

And I still cannot get over just how good and right it sounds.... All for $240 total shipped!

So this got me thinking about the golden era of Japanese equipment and while tuners , tape decks and turntables appear to have large followings and a large knowledge and fan base, I do not get the same vibe on integrated amps?

Are there devotees of these amps out there?
I very rarely hear anybody talking about them and so many can be picked up for peanuts, I mean $75 shipped in perfect working order and decent cosmetics( and built in mm phono to boot!).
Are they likely to be the next " big thing" or?

Thoughts?

If you want to say that Sansui power supply are cheap you are wrong.... If you say now that some power supply from other amp are bigger...This is a truism...
Actaman, “If it sounds great to you, then it’s s great. Don’t let any “expert” opinions convince you otherwise. You have achieved your own personal audio Nirvana. Enjoy it! If it fails, get it fixed, then enjoy it some more. “

I could not agree more...

It appears that a lot of people do indeed like the Sansui sound.

I am not sure I could/would go with a vintage integrated for my main system but duties I have them pressed into works very well so far.

I may hook one up to my Maggie's and feed my Notts table into an sux input just to see how it sounds.

Tbh the Sanyo receiver is built like the proverbial tank, weighs close to 40lb.

Interesting and cheap experience.
