Sansui AU-719

[Monishankar]

Hi, I am a very new entrant into the vinyl world along with a strong wish to possess a great amp and set of speakers. I also saw a Sansui AU 719 today in Delhi and was impressed with the performance. Need some suggestion on what kind of speakers are suggested for this... and how much should a pair cost in Delhi. Is it possible to get a pair within Rs. 10K?

Hi All,

... DC offset & bias current adjusted as per service manual. Runs much cooler than my previous amp.

Bhaskar

How do one go about it? I have a vintage kenwood Ka2200 amp. How do I adjust DC offset & bias current? what will be the outcome?

Congrats, just a few months ago I saw an Au 20000 listed in Kolkata, the city never ceases to amaze me. I wonder which lucky guy bought it.

had this amp 2 yrs back - sold it & moved on as it couldn't keep up with my spks.

Its a great Integrated amp otherwise on its own

Sorry, I got the amp frm a thrift store, so no user manual. Downloaded service manual frm the source mentioned by Sachin(Required for adjusting Bias). BTW it's a very straight forward amp, may I know why do you need the user manual so badly(am I missing something)?

Thanks & best regards,

Bhaskar

I always like to keep the documentation of my hifi gadjets,i have 3 sansui amps and have all the schematics n user manual with me.It just my personal preference.

Hi, I would be soon auditioning the Sansui AU-919. I already have a AU-317 and looking to explore the other models.
Has anybody heard AU-919. I see a lot being said about AU719 and I am assuming this should be in the same league or better.

 

[avidyarthy]

AU919 ....... :licklips: ....... it was Sansui's best! Late 1970s and early 80s manufacture. Some say, AU-X1 was the best, but very few were manufactured, for it to come anywhere near the 919s.

From where are you procuring this legend ... and at what price? Pick it up eyes closed .... even if it is not in working order. One can easily replace the only thing that goes wrong ... the capacitors.

 

[AVM]

Thanks for the headsup. I got to know of this through an acquiantence. No info yet on the condition & price. Hopefully tomorrow.

Are you a collector?

[AVM]

Not looking to have a collection but just to get a flavor. If all goes well, I would keep only one of them. Also on the wish list is the Lyrita tube amp which I am hopeful of acquiring one soon. BTW my speakers are sansui. I have pic posted on this forum

@AVM

If you don't mind please pm me the kind of prices it is available at. I keep coming across such deals but never bothered to find out if the prices are better here or in India. Would love to compare.

 

[AVM]

Apologies ranjeetrain. I have been off for sometime now. Unable to PM you(not sure if I know the right way to do it.) Could you PM me and I will try to follow that.

How do you compare AU-719 with AU-D9?

 

[ynotbubba]

bhaskaran, your au-719 reminds me of my au-a907 nra. These are great stereos and I regret to have sold it. In US we use to know some key people who knows how to restore and refurbish these amps.

Hi ynotbubba,

Yes the AU-719 is absolutely fantastic. I've heard/used a lots of modern era amps including some very famous DIY amps, but nothing is so musical like this vintage Sansui one.

Brgds,
