For sale is a SANSUI AU5500 integrated amplifier recently restored in the USA to full specifications. The sound can be described as warm, realistic, almost 3D like and it can comfortably drive almost any speaker up to the 300Watt range. Do not be fooled by its 32W power output, it sounds more like 100Watts since this is classic 1970s Sansui engineering design. I am currently using it to drive 4-way floorstanders. This is part of the highly sought after HIGH DEFINITION series (Au2900-Au11000) from Sansui produced for a limited time in the mid-1970s. In addition to double TAPE deck RCA outputs, one Tuner RCA output, one PHONO RCA output, it also has two AUX outputs – all in perfect condition. All RCA outputs allow connections to CD players, Digital/Analogue tuners, MP3 players and Bluetooth adaptors so this is an all-compatible machine able to extract an analogue sound from even the most digital music sources! Of course, the PHONO outlet will match nicely with any record player!
Power output: 32 watts per channel into 8 Ohms (stereo) Frequency response: 10Hz to 35kHz Total harmonic distortion: 0.15% Damping factor: 30 Input sensitivity: 2.5mV (MM), 100mV (line) Signal to noise ratio: 70dB (MM), 85dB (line) Channel separation: 50dB (MM), 55dB (line) Output: 100mV (line), 30mV (DIN), 0.8V (Pre out) Speaker load impedance: 8 Ohms (minimum) Dimensions: 434 x 130 x 315mm Weight: 10.4kg Voltage: currently set to 240V, can be reset to 117-120V if required
This Sansui AU-5500 has been refurbished to meet / exceed the original factory specifications and provide decades of reliable use. Completely recapped; and all potentiometers and switches have been cleaned with DeoxIT cleaner and Fader lubricant applied to Potentiometers. Power protection relay replaced with a brand new relay (Honeywell SCR-MY21P-DC24V). There are however very minor scratches due to age on the front fascia – otherwise looks like it was taken straight out of the Sansui factory in the 1970s. You can treat this amplifier as first hand / almost factory new! Unless you purposely damage/drop the amp, this will last you a wonderful 30-40 years when the next recap might be due! I will even offer you a free pair of speaker cable adaptors to accommodate the latest spade and banana terminals.
Asking S$750.00, negotiable.
