Check out my 801 Sansui
« on: April 01, 2010, 04:53:24 PM »
Finally repaired, thanks to Don at Phils TV! 4 resistors and ten hours later and I now have this 120wt/ch monster playing some old GENESIS and EPI speakers.  Measured at 120 into 8 and 200 into 4 ohms.

Not perfect, but nice!  Needs a new veneer cover, couple small scratches if you look close.  A true powerhouse, seems to blow away my cr-2020 (105/ch Yamaha).

Sweet piece - I love Sansui receivers.  I'll bet it sounds great too.

What a beast!!
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.
