Yes, I thought that Lionel was kidding when apparently he wasn't.

He was half right, too. Sansui did indeed make some nice amps in the
'70s, but of course they were push-pull solid state, not SETs.

Agreed. They also had a nice preamp in the late 80s. I owned one for a
while. I don't recall the number. It was the last gasp of a decent
company, as far as I know.

Some place along the line Sansui stopped being such a decent company.
They
disemboweled themselves with a range of receivers that had very a
short-lived, critical, hard-to-replace part.



I wonder what made the change in Sansui from being a decent company? I've
still got a Model 2000 tuner/amp. Can't remember the year I bought it but
I
was impressed that it came with a very comprehensive service manual (I've
never yet needed it yet) performs faultlessly even all the original panel
lamps still work. An Ok sounding & well built unit :-)



Ultimately, the Chinese.....

The Krooger version is that Sansui suddenly "grew a brain" and decided
to stop "ripping off the public". If you ask Krooger, he'll say
anything other than this simple explanation, and we know what that
means.

Of course Middius is making this up. If you want to read what I've *really*
said about Sansui, try this retrieval:

It means that Middius has been caught lying, again. Such a common thing
these days that it hardly merits notice.
