hi gurus,
among all the versions of the sansui integrated amps that you've listened/owned, which one is the best sounding in your opinion and why?...(let's exclude the tube version for now)
-
The best sounding is my Sansui >:D
No matter what the model mine are THE BEST!!! haha! Love you own... O0
-
i think its the sansui alpha 607 extra or the sansui alpha607 nra2 paired with bnw 602 ;D

among all the versions of the sansui integrated amps that you've listened/owned, which one is the best sounding in your opinion and why?...(let's exclude the tube version for now)
the G-series, the 9090DB
-
First, just a brief backgounder on my personal sonic preferences.
If given the choice on all Sansui integrateds, the AU111 (first incarnation twin-colored knobs) would be top of the list without batting an eyelash. But since the Sui tube units are not included in the choices, let’s put the 111 aside for a while.
Yes the 9090db would definitely make it to my shortlist. Technically, this is a receiver though- but for the sake of discussion, isama na rin natin. The 9090db packs the power to drive most speakers. It has that vintage warmth that suits my preference. Often compared to the Marantz 2325, It lacks the midbass bloat of the 2325 that I usually look for in an amp - but nonetheless a stellar performer.
http://bb3blog.wordpress.com/2012/12/10/marantz-vs-sansui/
I had the privilege of living with the G9000 for a few months when it was one of the candidates to power the speakers we were going to exhibit for the 2010 Nov HiFi Show. The other contenders were the Sansui 9090db and the Marantz 2325. I had the chance to amp-roll these three during that period. My personal pick was the Marantz, with the 9090db a close second. I’m sure a lot of fans of the G series would want to hang me upside down for this, but I found the G9000 a bit “hard” for my tastes – more solid-statey, if I may use the term. Anyway, I was outvoted by my other partners so we chose the G9000 for the show.
The Sansui triple digit series – The AU555 and 666 was truly a revelation for me. Don’t be fooled by its small footprint. These are very open sounding amps presenting a wide and deep soundstage. I have not heard the AU999 yet, but if the sonic signature is similar to the lesser-powered units, it would definitely be worth considering.
The AU9500 is one of my favorites. It has both the punch and midbass bloom that suits these ears. Not as open sounding as the triple digit series but still presents a very good soundstage. Unfortunately, I had to let go of this when I was offered a price I couldn’t refuse. Would love to have one back again.
The Sansui X1 is a lean but very clean sounding amp. Maybe a little too lean for my tastes though. I don’t know why but it somehow reminds me of the Cello in its sonic presentation. My good friend Sandawa has the X11. In fact, I think he has two of those. So I’m just concluding a marked improvement in the X11 as compared to the older X1.
The Sansui alpha series is a different class in itself. Just take a look at the insides of one of these and you can see why these units are so special. Even for someone, who is “technically challenged’ like me, gazing at the innards is jaw-dropping. I only have the alpha707 so I’m sure those in possession of the alpha907 are definitely happy campers. Yes, they do sound great!
http://bb3blog.wordpress.com/2013/01/30/the-sansui-alpha-series/
The AU20000 for me, is the best compromise. It has the openness of the triple digit series while retaining the bloat of the AU9500. It is as clean-sounding as the X1 and alpha series with a dash of musicality for good measure. And yes, at 170 watts per ch, it has the power like a ’73 Camaro on an empty freeway.

Nice post BB3, always a pleasure reading your post..........
except when you post sa buy and sell section, tumatalon puso ko, kasi baka may malagpasan ako na for sale mo bwahahahahaha
-
thanks q,
don't worry 1250 still safely tucked with me. ;)
-
Yes bb3, magaling ka magsulat... na aalala ko si Ambet Ocampo sayo... makulit, may sense at higit sa lahat malaman... OT...
-
Parang gusto ko mag own ng Sansui ah... any comparison nito sa Rotel (entry) at Nad (entry)? at pwede din ba ito sa PSB speakers? also ano best match nya na speakers?
thanks!
-
Yes bb3, magaling ka magsulat... na aalala ko si Ambet Ocampo sayo... makulit, may sense at higit sa lahat malaman... OT...
Thanks hshaun!
Pero hindi naman tayo sa liga ni Ambet... matindi yun!
Nagabot pa ata kami nung high school sa Ateneo. I believe he was a freshman when I was a graduating senior.
Sorry for the OT.
Back to topic.
Hard for me to comment on the difference between the Sansui, Nad and Rotel.
I only had a brief experience with a Rotel receiver and It's been ages since I let go of my NAD3020.
I'm sure the newer models now from NAD/Rotel have markedly diffrent sound from the vintage gear i used to hear from these two companies.
It's all in the matching. That's our regular chant here and in other audio forums as well.
Parang walang katapusang pabasa sa mahal na araw ang advice na ito.
Rightly so, because there are a multitude of speaker brands/models all presenting their own sonic signatures. . .
. . .but I'm sure there's a vintage Sui out there just waiting in the sidelines to be properly mated with your speaker of choice.
Happy hunting! :)

Very nice insight sir bb3...if the Sansui AU111 is considered the best or one of the best sounding amps of all Sansui tube amp...does it follow that the Sansui Alpha MR series is considered the best/one of the best sounding integrated amp since it described as very near the sound of the AU111.
http://www.sansui.us/issues_AU111vsAL907MR.htm
First, just a brief backgounder on my personal sonic preferences.

Thanks butchoy,
Sorry if my post may seem misleading in stating that the AU111 is the best sounding Sui amp.
I mentioned the AU111 only as reference to my personal preference so readers will better understand where I’m coming from when I described the other models.
I have always stated in neighboring threads my bias towards a colored, bloated midbass sound that, for me, translates into musicality.
Others may surely disagree.
No, I have not yet had the chance to listen to an a907MR.
But based on the article, it must be one heck of an amp.
Except for my alpha 607KX and alpha707extra, I have limited experience with the alpha series.
One thing I can say though is that although the a607 is a good amp, the a707extra is such a totally different animal so much so that I have been lusting for an a907 ever since that first listen to the 707.
So how does the a707 compare to the AU111?
Let’s put it this way. –
If pitted against each other in a “critical listening” competition, the a707 would garner more points when both amps reach the finish line.
Points in soundstage, focus, pace, and maybe accuracy would surely rack up on the side of the 707’s tally sheet.
. . . But I have long ago abandoned counting points in audio.
I broke off from "hearing" and instead opted to "listen and feel".
I have trusted that “magical feeling” to allow me to listen to an amp for hours on end.
The AU111 gives me that feeling.

Buhayin natin this thread!
For my personal experience, I'll bet for AU 9500 as one of the best I've heard and owned so far. Secondly, I'll go for my AU 111. IMHO

Very informative thread. Make me curious and want to audition Sansui amps.

He he....meron ba ako nyan... ;) ;) ;)

Pakita mo na Ka Ernie! Ha ha
-
For me it's also SANSUI ALPHA 907 :) ;) :) It's because.......Very well refined....Yung bass eksakto lang, di malakas at di mahina pero madiin at malalim at firm na firm. Very detailed ang mid at highs, pulidong
pulido ika nga at most important is very powerful. :) ;) :)
-
Hi Sir Banesto. Sansui AU-ALpha 907 vs AU9500. Ano ang impression mo sir? :)

Hi Sir Banesto. Sansui AU-ALpha 907 vs AU9500. Ano ang impression mo sir? :)
May kakaibang character na gusto ko sa AU9500 at talagang maganda rin sya. Syempre AU9500 was very much
well designed & engineered during that time [early 70's].....And take note during that time wala pa naman
Sansui Alpha 907 noon.
Kaya IMHO Alpha 907 is My Top choice and 2nd is au9500. For me lang yun.

Order of hierarchy-
AU111 – Hard to put into words. You just have to listen to it.
Also, if all the other succeeding Sansui designs were using this as their benchmark, I guess this is just a testament to the greatness of the amp.
AU 20000 and AU9500 – this is really a toss-up. While the 9500 may have a slight edge in warmth, the AU20000 has that delicacy that even the AU111 can’t capture.
But I’m hedging my bets between these two for the meantime. Am having the AU20000 rechecked and when it’s done, it just might slip to solo slot number 2.
Alpha907 - I have listened to the alpha907 numerous times and it does have that ‘hi end’ sonic character. Great highs, beautiful mids, and awesome lows. Personally, I find the midbass a tad lean for my tastes. But this is an unfair comment since I don’t personally own an Alpha907 to directly compare it with the rest here at home.
Too many variables when listening to the 907in other set ups.
But wait!. . . I just got a Sansui Eight a few months ago. Pucha! Ang ganda!
Am too busy lang now to make a serious review but I wont be surprised if this baby shoots up to number two just breathing down the neck of the 111.

But I’m hedging my bets between these two for the meantime. Am having the AU20000 rechecked and when it’s done, it might just slip to solo slot number 2.
Alpha907 - I have listened to an alpha907 numerous times and it does have that ‘hi end’ sonic character. Great highs, beautiful mids, and awesome lows. Personally, I find the midbass a tad lean for my tastes. But this is an unfair comment since I don’t personally own an Alpha907 and directly compare it with the rest here at home.
Too many variables when listening to the 907in other set ups.
But wait!. . . I just got a Sansui Eight a few months ago. Pucha! Ang ganda!
Am too busy lang now to make a serious review but I wont be surprised if this baby shoots up to number two just breathing down the neck of the 111.
I agree so much to the hierarchy mentioned.
Wow! Congrats Boy sa Sansui Eight!

Thanks Lawrence,
Btw, I left out the AUX 1, 11, and 111.
I have not had the opportunity to seriously listen to these three - only the X1 but briefly lang.
Am sure these are rightful contenders too.

I'm pretty sure those series will emerge as great contenders.

Order of hierarchy-
AU111 – Hard to put into words. You just have to listen to it.

I'm saving for my first ever sansui amp. I'd like to know what would be a fair price for an alpha au907amp? Is this amp any good? Any suggestions for a good price to performance sansui amp?

ok yan maganda din tumunog at mataas wattage. but be sure to check the components. amps that old most probably end of life na nung mga capacitors at bulging na. I have a 707 and 607 na candidate na for re-cap dahil karamihan ng electrolytic caps ay lobo na.

This Sansui AU series was for many, the best sounding amplifiers of their time.

The AU series was the Gold era of Sansui.
After this, it was downhill for the manufacturer. ::)

Had both the 8 and 8 deluxe. Didn't listen to them A/B. Listened to one after the other for weeks. Pretty much the same system and same music. Preferred the 8 over the 8 deluxe.

@sir Tony, powered by quad 6L6gb, with very nice Power Trafo, Choke & OPT made by Hashimoto for Sansui. Sobrang bigat nyan.
