As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This?

Sansui was great in audio in the S.Q. /price ratio scale...

Now i am on headphone only , and the Sansui alpha drive them very well...

but the AKG K340 is near the top of high end not the bottom in the headphone realm...

It is very sensible to the electrical noise floor of the house  and component...

then even if Sansui is more than great, i must think about a dedicated headphone amplifier if not out of the electrical grid as my dac , dead quiet,... more quiet than even the quiet Sansui...

I am on vthe fence to upgrade...

Even if the Sansui AU 7700 were extremely good so muck i never change it when i had speakers... So much more quiet than the 7700 the alpha is, a top headphone is so sensible to the electrical noise floor i must consider  an upgrade...

Probably the Berning microzotl...

I would had never change my Sansui with any speakers upgrade...So good they are...

But refined  headphone need dedicated amplification ... My headphone system now is moere resolving than my speakers/acoustic room... So different they are the K340 is my favorite...

Mahgister, I bought that 9900 used for $250 , enjoyed it for about 8 years and ended up giving it to my brother. Unfortunately it got stolen from his apartment

Wish I still had it 

As a wee tot, I was playing with my sisters record player and received a shock. The rest is history. True story. Shock therapy?

Growing up my sister had an all in one compact Panasonic stereo. When she got married her husband had a Dual turntable, HH Scott Receiver, Tandberg reel to reel and Rectilinear speakers. Hearing that made me appreciate that the Panasonic system left much to be desired.

My second system beyond the one with home made speakers:

Dynaco PAT4 preamp

McIntosh MC225 tube power amp

Dual 1219 turntable with a Shure V15 type 2 cartridge

Wollensak reel to reel

Large Advent speakers
