Looking forward to getting it hooked up It was a pretty good deal.. That's the Made in China version, not quite up there with the locally made range, but apparently it does rock out Be interested to hear your impressions.

lemarquis Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Quite a few Sansui on the bay which is very troublesome as I have a very itchy finger for a Sansui at the moment Fully restored $420 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Fully-Restored-Sansui-AU-101-Integrated-Amplifier/164236374158?hash=item263d40308e:g:et8AAOSwjsVe3e1w Had $350 of work done.

Do these usually need a recap? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Sansui-707DR-integrated-amplifier/184219910081?hash=item2ae45cbfc1:g:BmoAAOSwA75eDxVM $850 with recent 'mínor overhaul' Bit sparse on pics https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vintage-Sansui-AU-D607-Stereo-Integrated-Amplifier-SAFE-DELIVERY-AVAIL/293517465249?hash=item44570116a1:g:muAAAOSwPeBec2C2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the Made in China version, not quite up there with the locally made range, but apparently it does rock out Be interested to hear your impressions. First impressions are that it has good drive and grip. Pleasant top end with a little more body in the lower mids (but aren’t we all a little thicker in the middle these days?) than what it replaced. I was using a Rotel RA04 which I still maintain is a great amp but the lack of remote was beginning to get annoying (actually, it’s an amazing amp. Better than perfect. Look out for it in the classifieds) The Redgum actually came without a remote but my Harmony had the codes so that will do for now. It’s an interim solution while I save for a "serious" integrated to get me through the next 5-10 years. kids are in bed now so can’t check the "rock out" factor but initial feelings are positive and I’m looking forward to getting to know it better 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the above. I haven’t seen the actual ad or photos, but for example, the cheapest old and low model working condition proac speakers is at least $1500 range. The fact that they have everything at only $350. Sounds like you are buying just the skeleton, nothing working or a scam. Just make sure you only buy locally where you can inspect the items yourself. Edit: Maybe typo, it should have been $3500, not $350. Edited June 9, 2020 by att23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I remember you need to get rear wall positioning on point as they fire backwards also but once dialed in they imaged very well. The ns1000m are much more forgiving but absolutely sing when in the sweet spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
