lebowski Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Stop posting ebay links!!!Now it's on my watch list! I have the AU-20000's 'baby' brother (if you could call it that). They are an excellent Amp, smooth, fast and detailed. Lots of balls when you need it. It will go over $1500 but how far over I don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete_mac Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) A visit to their ship is a decent way of seeing a lot of vintage eye-candy in the one place. However, their prices are high. Quite a few of my recent Sansui ebay sales have ended up there, with a sizeable mark-up in the price eg. http://www.classic-hifi.net/product.php?id=971 They are not listing prices on their website any longer - I'd love to know exactly what price they have put on my old EQ!

Hifiplus Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Fair enough though, if they are buying at auction (eBay) then selling in a shop its not much different to a car dealer is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prana69 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Fair enough though, if they are buying at auction (eBay) then selling in a shop its not much different to a car dealer is it? Yes, and we all know the reputation that used car salesman have. .............ruh-roh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't respond to my emails any longer. :nana A few months ago I sent them an email in regards to the listing description of a Luxman turntable they had listed. They wanted biiiiig money, described it as Luxmans flagship turntable, and generally told lots of porkies and didn't like hearing some home truths about the spin they put on their description. I have no problem with retailers asking whatever they want, but do need accuracy and no bullshit. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippy124 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) For those who might be interested in Luxman vintage gear, I recently worked on a very nice L100, 110W per channel and the biggest power supply caps I have seen in an amp of this size..... 6 output transistors per channel And those caps - 15,000 uf 80V ..... and TO3 transistor sitting on top for a comparison Needless to say it sounded as good as it looks!!!!! There is a great write up here if anyone wants to know more.... http://www.eins83.de/ebay/shop/05.02.2008/Beschreibung%20L%20100%20-%20Luxman.pdf Cheers John Edited May 17, 2011 by skippy124 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicprObe Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Wow! They'd be expensive to replace! What transistors are they running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy124 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Wow!They'd be expensive to replace! What transistors are they running? Each channel has a 2SC1079/2SA679 pair running in class A (if I am reading the circuit right), and two sets of 2SD278B/2SB539B running in class B. All of these are 100W transistors. None of these are readily available, but there are suitable "modern" replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippy124 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 And the caps?100,000 uF? They aer only 15,000 uf 80 volt, but they apparently were especially made for Luxman and would be impossible to get hold of these days in a matching size (I bet they were very low ESR and had very large ripple current capability).

firefly0071 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I have a pair of McIntosh power amps MC50 circa 30 years old. That's great via Ebay but there are no manuals - instruction and service manual. There are scanned versions available (courtesy of a website community forum) but I purchased oroiginals to make it a complete purchase. Thanks to McIntosh fanatics...

Let us know how it sounds. It appears the VU backlights are not stock however I believe Skippy has sourced a replacement that matches OEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebowski Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Pete/ Martin, here's a MA-7 monitor with rack handles. These rarely come up for sale and look great in an AU series stack. Can be configured to display Amp power output and/or monitor signal output. Can also be used as a standalone headphone Amp. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vintage-Sansui-MA-7-Monitor-Consolette-/180668427758?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item2a10ad6dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
