I HAVE THE ANALOGUE CLASSIC SANSUI AU-101 FOR SALE!
The Sansui AU-101 (1973-5) integrated amplifier incorporates many of the state of the art features of the technically more powerful, but older AU-555A from 1970-71, including an all silicon solid state design, professional arrangement of controls and a satin black control panel. [I have owned the AU-555A before and can tell you that the power output between the two amps is THE SAME when tested with the same speakers!] Like all other AU series amplifiers, the AU-101's tonal quality has been perfected and proved not only by precision electronic measuring instruments, but also by repeated listening tests in a wide variety of environments. Although touted as a ‘budget’ model by Sansui at the time, this amplifier has proven to be an evergreen classic in reproducing a glorious analogue sound from any source fed into it! It is easily compatible with any speaker – have heard it paired with JBL, Focus Audio, ProAC, Vienna Acoustics, Pathos and Emmespeakers. Also, like most Sansui solid state amps, it adds a nice tinge of Tube-like smoothness and body to music. It has a pair of RCA outputs each for AUX (Tuner/CD player/MP3 player), PHONO, and TAPE (can be used also for Tuner/CD player/MP3 player). Note that although the stated power output is 15Watts per channel, these are 1970s SANSUI standards which when played through your speakers, they do sound like 75-95W!! The bass and treble are very refined and punchy where needed. I have rarely turned the volume above 2.5 with most music, otherwise you will definitely disturb your neighbours. And there is the usual SANSUI loudness boost switch on this amplifier.
Specifications (from www.hifiengine.com)
Power output: 15 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo)
Frequency response: 20Hz to 60kHz
Total harmonic distortion: 0.8%
Input sensitivity: 4mV (mic), 3mV (MM), 200mV (DIN), 200mV (line)
Signal to noise ratio: 65dB (MM), 75dB (line)
Channel separation: 45dB (MM), 45dB (line)
Output: 200mV (line), 30mV (DIN)
Speaker load impedance: 4Ω to 16Ω
Semiconductors: 18 x transistors, 4 x diodes
Dimensions: 407 x 115 x 278mm
Weight: 5.9kg
The unit I am selling has been partially recapped and the speaker terminals upgraded to WBT types able to accommodate the latest spade and banana terminated speaker cables. Power cable has been replaced/modified into a three pin IEC type (i.e. kettle type) receptacle capable of connecting to the most modern power cables money can buy. If you need a conventional, manufacturer standard, copper power cable, I can provide one free of charge with your purchase. Unit works perfectly, but there are some inevitable signs of slight wear on the wood panel. Nevertheless, I have polished the wood panel so it actually looks very very good, almost like it was in the 1970s!
