Wow! Am I the first person to write a review of this product online? Where do I start? After the bitter loss of my beloved Sansui G-7700 due to lack of AC voltage in my old rented house, I was looking for another vintage Sansui with similar power and performance (rarity notwithstanding), and not so vulnerable to incineration. From what I gather online, these units are exceptionally rare. The massive internal heat sinks suggest that this one was built to perform all day long without breaking a sweat. The precision calibrated solid machined aluminum master volume control knob ensures that it will never be too loud for it's own good. The solid machined aluminum control knobs set against the black face really make this one stand out cosmetically. Gorgeous! This one retains it's professional crystal clear studio quality sound even when cranked! This is not your average vintage receiver, folks. While it's definitely true that you could get more bang for your buck, this baby packs the punch, the professional sound quality, the extreme efficiency (240 watt power consumption) and special cosmetic touches to make it one of the most desirable collector's items currently on the market. I won't say here what I paid for mine and to have it professionally repaired, but the ones I've seen for sale on Ebay the prices are well, jaw-dropping. All I can say is that if you want one of these things in good condition, be prepared to dig a little deeper in your pockets than you expected to for a vintage receiver of this caliber.
