@@RUfromthe40s You just confused a simple issue here. The Sansui two pieces include a separate power amplifier rigged to a control pre-amp with/& tuner in one other separate piece. The tuner & pre together is not a "reciever" without amplification to drive speakers. Radio tuners & pre-amps can be purchased separately. That does not make it a Reciever rigged together. That makes it "Seperates". Neither one can function independently without the other. The two-piece Sansui receiver setup qualifies it as a unit. I'm not aware of any other stereo reciever manufacturer building a two-piece Reciever? Pioneer did not do it. Nor did Kenwood or Yamaha. Mitsubishi had a simular setup to the Sansui giants, but Mitsubishi called it separates. Rightly so. It was a quite nice rack configuration with very attractive matching speakers! Even integrated amps lack tuners. That makes that arrangement classified as "Seperates", not a Reciever minus a radio. Now McIntosh currently or always had an integrated amplifier with a built in tuner, Mcintosh, themselves call it a Reciever. Technically, it qualifies as a Reciever. Three separate functions in one box. I fail to see your point with the interchangeable "and" or "with"?

10:25 Nasty way to treat that receiver...

Receiver!!!. My buddy Dennis brought a G22000 amp/receiver set home from the Navy in 1979. Paired it with a technics (sp) turntable, reel to reel, and 4 matched Sansuii speakers. To this day, it remains the loudest, purest stereo I have ever heard. We got in soooo much neighbor trouble with that set. UFO lights out album was ON FIRE when cranked to 40% volume. Cops knocking on the door could not be heard. They were so pissed!! Unfortunately, a heroin addict and a baseball bat ended the set a few years in. I have been looking to buy one ever since, but now that their prices have sky rocketed....doubtful I'll ever pull the trigger on one....

The G-33k & 22K are receivers, simply because they have tuner sections, just like any other receiver. But due to its massive size and wattage, Sansui designed it as two modules interconnected. Look at the front panel with its elegant styling and notice what is illuminated: DC Pure Power Stereo Receiver- there is the proof of the correct answer. What should be noted is that the both models were only made for a short duration in 1978. This can be verified by the serial # in the back which has a code for its manufacturing date, as all Sansui units have, the third digit will be an '8' to indicate 1978. Perhaps a few made it into '79, but for those who purchased them that year, its likely to have been made in '78 and remained in a store's inventory until it was sold in '79. $1,300 plus was alot of money in those days, so thats probably a reason why not many were made, as it was not cost-effective to do so. Even a G-9000 itself, at 160 watts, is a "super receiver" and is more than enough for most vintage audio enthusiasts, such as myself, and that model was not too affordable either based on the average person's $ income back then. I also find it interesting that when I look thru my vast collection of vintage audio magazines & buyer's guides, I barely see any ads or reviews of these two "beasts", unlike say.... the Pioneer SX-1980 in comparison. Sansui did advertise every month, with many ads on the G's, up to the G-9000, but there is not much I know of on the top two 33 & 22,000, which further supports my belief that they were made for a short duration, or maybe the mag reviewers were not able to procure either model for a lab test/report. The G-22000 did come out a few months earlier than the G-33000, they did not come out simultaneously- this comes from what I have observed in my Sansui brochures, some of which look like foldout highway roadmaps, published by Sansui in the winter and summer months of the year. The first '78 brochure I have only shows the 22K, the next one that came out had the 33K. As most of us know, these huge models peaked in 1978-79, and it was not longer after, as soon as the 80's started, that the quality cost-cutting became more noticeable. Its sad to look at the follow-up Sansui Z series of 1980-82, when the G 9700-4700 series was being discontinued, and see those elegant deluxe size volume and tuning knobs lopped off and amputated on the Z's, replaced with cheap flimsy pushbuttons. But when it comes to needing 300 Watts or handling demanding speakers, the all time King of Sansui amps is the 1975-77 "monster", the BA-5000, weighing in at almost 110 pounds, picking one up is like asking to give yourself a hernia. ps: I am the Admin of the 'Sansui Lounge' facebook group for anyone online who wants to join.

For the Sansui G22K & G33K, the tuner section and the amplifier section DO connect via bolts that come from the factory. Aside from the power, the G22K & G33K have minor trim differences with the G33K having more metal trim and the G22K having plastic trim. For example, you can see in this video that there is silver metal trim along the bottom of the G33K amplifier whereas the G22K amplifier has grey plastic trim along the bottom. Both are amazing units!

Now all three guys are knob obsessed. Hilarious!

SAE Impulse noise reduce-get rid of clicks and pops on vinyl (noises). I have a G 900db and a G-33k. Bought the 9000 in 80 and the 33000 a year later while stationed in Korea. I also bought the Pioneer PL 560 with the meter. I have some SAE stuff and a bunch of DBX equipment

Great video! I own a G33 and you can connect the two pieces. They came new with 4 button head allen bolts that attach the two pieces permanently together if desired. Also, some of the trim is different between the G22 and G33. I've viewed them side by side.

Those big Sansui's are separates, two units that work together tuner/pre and amp. McIntosh still has them. I do like the 80 series Pioneers and the Yamaha 20 series. I have a Yamaha CR-820. I did have a Kenwood 8010 125WPC and it was a beast, just not the top of the line so doesn't get much love. I like the style and quality of late 70's Marantz. I owned a Marantz 5020 cassette deck. Fun to see some of the big stuff I couldn't afford back then...

The SAE noise reduction system was analogous to the DBX 222 or 224. Love these collection vids!

My Marantz 2216B purchased when I was 16, is still in operation. I had a Pioneer SX 780 45 watts per channel. Honestly, the 2216B with 16 watts per channel out performed it. Had them both at the same time. Pioneer was sold in 1985. My personal opinion is Marantz is better. Still have my Marantz 6300 with an AT100 cartridge. Unbelievable sound. About the same as my Denon 103R

On the way home my buddy and I took turns wearing the pair of Groucho marx glasses, matching the speed of random cars on the freeway and staring at the driver until they looked over at us and laughed.

If they were at war with each other it was best illustrated by the HI FI audio advertising we saw in magazines. Remember no internet and no personal computers to distract us.

The G-22000 and G-33000 are receivers. Receivers just need speakers to produce music. Receivers are typically in one chassis, but those 2 were so big, Sansui has to make them in 2 halves.

Yes it is a receiver and you can hook them together, the first time I saw one and the G9000 which I still have today in perfect shape was 1978-79 Audio Show At SanFran Auditorium the ran about 8 or 10 Large I think the electro voice speakers off one receiver proving they run fine at 2 ohms it was Amazing Sound coming from a receiver it’s like a commercial amp just fantastic.I run my 9000 off of double stack jbl pa speakers that are rated up to 2000 watts as well as 4 Yamaha pa speakers it’s like a concert hall you can also hear it all the way down the block , Sorry for the neighbors needless to say it doesn’t get to do that but once or twice a year, I really like your videos

That Sony Receiver in a 6060 from 1968-69. Wonderful unit.

I think they were sold together as one even though it was two pieces. Also i dont remember any preamps with tuners built in from that era. So i would say they are the monsters of monster receivers.

Sansui G-22000 and G-33000 are both separates and receivers. They fall in between, kind of like cassette tape type III FerroChrom and just as rare.

I remember when the 22k/33k came out: the Sansui rep at the audio show they made their debut at in NYC referred to them as receivers. The rest of us shook our heads..."good thing they don't sell these by the pound", I think I've if used remarked.

While receivers are great, separates won me over early in the game. The only problem with separates is making sure you have enough breakers in that main panel!

Most homes have two legs but seldom will you find receptacles of different legs close together unless it's in the plan. My Outlaw 7 channel 300W per channel has two power cords.

Technically, the G33000 and G22000 are separates, because the chassis are separate. However, I believe the 2 pieces had to be purchased together, and there was a special cable, with unique connector, used to electrically join the two pieces, so you could not easily use the amp portion with other equipment. In that sense, they were receivers. Kind of a wave/particle sort of debate here.

It’s great that you guys get to see such cool stuff, but it sure would be cool if you educated yourselves on some of it. Loudness on a stereo is not compression. The loudness button/switch/knob is a simple EQ boost of high and low frequencies to be used lower volumes in order to compensate for the human ear’s inadequacies at deciphering those frequencies, when the volume is low. Compressors work in a completely different way, squishing down the dynamic range subsequently making quiet sounds louder and loud sounds quieter. I, as many others do, appreciate the aesthetics of this old equipment, but it seems like you guys are experts on the look and not the sounds and features.

@@LennyFlorentine I recently restored one of those units. No G-22000 but a very interesting piece nonetheless.

it's not separates,c because there is a tuner, amp, and Preamp in one box, the McIntosh you didn't recognize is a C 20 pre amp, a famous piece. pair that with a period Mc amp and it will best the big sansui's easily. all Receivers are the result of compromises.

Thanks for voting! 2-1 Seperates!

Hybrid because if you turn them back to back they do bolt together and become 1 piece receiver and they can be used with other componets but they will not work with out each other the tuner/preamp has all the controls to even turn it on. I bought my G22000 new when I was 16 and still have it today at 62. not in use and probably needs to be re-capped but?

Wow a G-22000 at 16! Gotta get it into us for repair

Its a receiver do to the way it interconnect with the six pens and not RCA

Where are all the german Grundig, Dual, Sabas ?

If you can play AM FM radio, it's a receiver.

I consider them to be receivers as you cannot use one without the other.

One part is a tuner preamp the other is a power amp.. Separates..

i had a g-22 two shops i sent it to couldn’t repair it

Those are two-piece receivers, purchased as a single unit. One piece without the other makes them “incomplete”.
