sansui or yamaha

I'm late but I've owned an A-S2000 for about two years and it is an amazing integrated amplifier. I use it to drive my ATC SCM40's and the sound is amazingly revealing and clean with no signs of brightness. I would caution against using it with the 2m black, however; as that is simply more cartridge than you'll need if you are using the built-in phono stage. I had that cartridge and it worked well with a separate phono stage (Pro-Ject Tube Box SE II/Rega P5) but the built-in stage was not up to the job. I would say that the built-in phono stage was very nice with the 2M Blue I tried but the Black just embarrasses the built-in stage.

Another vote for the Yammy, how irrelevent this comment by Yogiboy, completely unfounded.

The Yamaha MX-1(production 92-97) is one of the best budget power amps i've heard! One just sold here a few days ago.

Keep the Sansui amps. I used to own them and could kick myself for selling them. Get a new amp is you want, but the build quailty of vintage stuff is hard to find these days. I now keep all my old stuff for my audio museum. Nice thinhgs to have on the walls under glass in your listening room.
They may now be outclassed performance wise, but they sure look good.
Cheers

Wow
I have the Yamaha C1,UC1 and 2 B1's(being fully rebuilt as we speak)and a CR2040 and they sound great.I am not sure what those other guys are saying but alot of gear has its own house sound.
I had the Pioneer SX1280 and found the bass to be very boomy,not tight.
Speakers are a big part also,although the house sound is what it is.
So to each is there own.
