Shanghai Wally Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 This is a very clear and powerful sounding unique Sansui AU-9500 Clone designed and handcrafted by a unknown Japanese Audiofreak There are few modification which improve the Soundstage from the regular AU-9500 remarkable with JBLs Cheers Build like Tank Cage included 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably describe it as something other than a 'clone' (which means an exact replica). It looks to have the AU-9500 heatsinks and outputs, but the rest is quite different and it certainly looks worlds apart. An interesting amp nonetheless!

Shanghai Wally Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Hi Pete You right my discription isn't correct this is very much a handmade amp using parts from the AU-9500 unfortunately dont have any schematics so it would be pretty difficult to repair if major problems show up well luckily till now the amp works without any issue anyway sooner or later will sell cause to many goodies in the cave In the moment traveling the V-Fet road with Yamaha B-3 in BTL Modus with very good results beside the Sansui BA-150,TAC-505 and Yamaha B-2 system this Combo sounds also very good in my ears and create abit the feeling my Soundjourney could have arrive the final destination sorry about my lousy english cheers mate keep on rockin and have a nice weekend Edited July 3, 2020 by Shanghai Wally adjust layout 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cafad Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 OK, the all Sansui system has it's own room. Apologies for the lighting, I have yet to replace the crappy light bulbs that came with the place with ones that will actually shed some decent light. The sound quality is very good, far less of that brittle top end that I've heard the SP-100i speakers exhibit in the past. I will admit however that I haven't had much time to listen yet though. This weekend I'll make some time to see how the All Sansui system handles a few different styles. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cafad Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I have a few things to say about my new Sansui Room but I'm not sure this is the thread for it. I think it might be better served in a more general Sansui thread since it involves a mix of Sansui gear and technically none of them are Alpha series amps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cafad Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Just now, misternavi said: You are missing a Sansui hifi cabinet & tuner. I have two Sansui tuners, they just don't have any aerial to connect to yet so they are still in storage. As with most systems, it's a work in progress. I did have the chance to get a Sansui rack at one point but my case of Sansui fever had yet to fully set in back then and I missed out on it because I was too slow.

Cafad Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 My new Sansui Room. Sounds very nice! Also, it has something to teach me, there is something interesting going on in the combination of those speakers and the rest of the gear. I think I've worked it out but I need a few more hours to repeat a few tests. I really love it when a system teaches me something new, it always comes as a surprise. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry too much about the cabinet. I gave away my Sansui cabinet because it didn't fit my 907 - I had to take off those side metal thingies to slide them in.

And yes, all the Alphas are 100 volt. There are a few exceptions, there were some 230 volt DR series amps (made for the European market I believe) and the somewhat better known MRX versions of the MR series but these are very few and very far between. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff, we need some close ups of both the B/C combo please?? How does it compare to say the newer design NRA? Edited July 11, 2020 by Sansui77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cafad Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I can do that. The 907NRA has more of a smooth polish to its sound, it certainly doesn't seem to miss much detail when you are listening to it but compared to the C-2302/B-2302 combo I'm afraid it is. The 2302's are a little more dynamic and a bit more relaxed in their presentation as well. That comparison above is while using the conventional volume pot on the C-2302, if you use the "source direct" function (which bypasses the volume pot and utilises a stepped attenuator set up instead) then both dynamics and detail improve noticeably. In the area of hard-sung vocals the NRA is right up there with the best but when it comes to soft and delicate instruments the pre/pwr has more detail and a more natural decay. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerglide Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Baby sitting a very nice AU 7900 c/o @Phil sydney will be starting a new life in Queensland with @Zedamon lucky boy - She had a sleep over at Dr. Pete Mac's clinic last night, a few small adjustments a sponge bath and a clean bill of health was given. Suggested change of diet. Did a spot of near field listening this afternoon, excuse the cables had to traverse pass a speaker to run a turntable. I don't have any decent MM carts at the moment so the Sansui path is slightly tainted with an external phono. Ortofon Rohmann ruby cantilever - SR 525 - Exposure 26 - AU 7900 - JBL 4313b Put some flac FLAC files through also which didn't disappoint, could think of worse things to be doing on a Sunday afternoon Edited July 12, 2020 by Powerglide So Luc can sleep 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
