I have the Sansui 919 and it sounds wonderful

good luck

I have always loved the old (pre-'84 [pre-Alpine]) Luxman receivers. One of my daughters is still using my old R-1040 that I bought while I was in high school. Good amp, very good phono stage, so-so tuner.

I gave a Marantz 2235 to a nephew. He loves it and the tuner seems to be pretty good. While I haven't seen one in years I see to remember that folks really liked the old Tandberg receivers. Not too many of them around, but as I recall they were very high quality units.

The engineering of vintage equipment was often more sound and reliable than many current items. The only issue is worn out parts and unavailable replacements. Like Philjolet, I own a Sansui amp (AU D-11). My amp and LT-30 have both had substantial upgrades and re-caps. Considering purchase and tech work being around $1000 or less, I'd put them up against equipment far more expensive. The tech I use is Randy Young (Audiogon member "Ezekiel"). He now has more significant upgrades for the LT-30 (owners take note, this is the "next level"). So, be proud of your vintage finds and bring them back to life.
