Amplifier: | Front: Sansui G-9700 Rear: Sansui AU-9500 |
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | A dead Sansui AU-6900 provides the G-9700 with extra inputs. |
Speakers: | Front: 80's Vega Linear Speakers often sold with HK gear. Have the power handling for an HK670 not a G-9700. Rear: Large 12" Woofer + 12" PBR +4" x 10" Horn. 70's style JBL clone monsters made by Sound Dynamics. Beautiful cabinetry. Was purchased new (not by me) with the AU-9500. May have alnico magnets as they are very efficient. Probably 93DB/1w/1m. Haven't measured this with a meter though. |

CD Player/DAC: | Technics SL-PG300 |
Turntable/Phono Stage: | Dual CS 741Q |
Other Source(s): | Yamaha CT-1010 Tuner Sony TC-K71 Cassette Deck Sony TC-377 R2R On occasion Sansui QS-1 Quadraphonic Decoder Computer (Creative S.B. Live platinum) Since this computer is in my primary listening area it has been modified to an extent that it is almost inaudible. Mitsubishi HS-U56P VCR The multitude of inputs required for this setup was supplied by adding extra inputs via a dead yet classy looking Amplifier. |
Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |
Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | Home Depot 14 Guage |
Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.): | Power looks good on an Oscilloscope, so none required. |
Tweaks: | None beyond playing with speaker placement and doing a sweep with a signal generator to identify and eliminate resonances in Furniture etc. |
Music Preferences and Comments: | |
Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Anything excluding top40 music I enjoy classical music, old obscure LP's, Classic rock, European techno... There is very little music in this world that I don't find enjoyable. I do always appreciate a good recording as I found that the recording quality is often the primary limitation with this system. |
System Goals/Comments: | Good stereo for cheap. I am a university student and have managed to assemble this pile of vintage gear for around $350 US. Quite a bargain considering what this stuff sells for on E-bay. |
System Strengths: | Sounds far better than anything that can be purchased new for far more money. I am not impartial to Sansui. I have simply come across quite a bit of Sansui gear at excellent prices. Speakers hold a good stereo image and system has good frequency balance with Amplifiers EQ'd Flat. |
System Weaknesses: | Front speakers are a little bright for my taste. It's not tube gear which I'd like to try but can't afford without selling my SS gear. |
Video/HT System: None |
