The information on here is second to none! caveman approves of the vintage vibe all day everyday!

Great collection, sound really great. I'm a fan of Sansui products. Still own the old Au-d707G extra amplifier since 1984. Can't afford the 909 at that time. And Sansui speaker Sp-G300ll. Good enough to produce some good Rock numbers Unfortunately the company closed years ago. Love Sansui! Thanks for your sharing 🙏

Same here!

I’m proud owner of Sansui SR-838. Beautiful and great sound. Would love to own an all Sansui system oh well.

I had one of those 838's...that is a well built and great performing unit!

Sorry - the specs should have read 40 watts x2 @ 0.8 THD - not sure how my fat fingers messed that up!

Looks familiar JG!😊

lol. Yes it sure does. I've already booked the TU-X1 in with the doctor ;)

Hows the phono stage preamp in these units? I assume they had it integrated..... Getting me hooked!

Phono has a solid state transistor front end which eventually drives a 12ax7 If my memory is correct. overhyped

What input tubes are your favourite in your AU-111 ?

I'd love some Telefunkens or Mullards; However, I am a big fan on the "Preferred Line" of tubes by The Tubestore. You can find them here: www.thetubestore.com/tube-brands/preferred-series

I have a recapped retubed AU-111 as well as it’s little brother the AU-70, and my Modern Class-D ICEPower modules, as well as my other Hypex NCORE Class-D amp , are smoother, more detailed and are simply better than this overhyped dinosaur that was best tech in that day. It’s place is as a museum piece. It has a custom cathode feedback winding in the OPT for lower distortion, I think only mackintosh have something similar, just makes it sound more like a SS amp only it’s tubes. The power supply is a unique voltage doubler approach. I have a 2nd AU-70, that the original OPTs fried by previous owner, rather than dump the thing, I replaced both OPTs with Hammond OPT, while this unique amp lost its feedback winding VS the original, it sounds very relaxed, less details more tuby distortion, but can have it on for hours without fatigue.

Overpriced dinosaur 🦕 . A true collectors piece 🧩 YES! but for those seeking audio quality SKIP this alltogerher these sell for 2000.00$ plus and the 1999 reissue model also sells for around the same or a little higher . But for that money there is without a doubt a lot of options that will serve you much better audio-wise

I tend to agree, to a point. The tone that the Sansui recreates is unmistakable and hard to duplicate today. Is it audiophile? No. However, it is sure enjoyable. I only wish I could find the reissue model (lol).
