Hi Sansui Fans, I just picked up an Au-7900 and absolutely love it. I was just wondering if anyone out there has a spare TU-7900 or TU-5900 they are willing to part with? Cheers Stew

Luc i recently landed an AU-7900 and am very happy with it. Given the above photo and your previous collection, I was wondering if you still have a spare matched tuner (tu-7900) you would be willing to part with? Cheer stew

Thanks all, I'll have to go and do some more research. Cheers Stewart

Hi I'm starting to think about buying a Sansui AU-717 . I have read all the comparisons between the 717 and 719 ( build quality, pre-output , 717 sounds warmer etc) so I think I'll aim for the AU -717. My question is what's a realistic price for : A restored AU-717 Unrestored AU -717. Do most people look to overseas to source one or do they show up in Australia? Does anyone have any experience with Japanese versions like the AU-707? Should avoid amps with step-down transformers ? Thanks in advance for any advice. Cheers Stew

If they were closer to Newcastle I would snap these up! I have CL-144's and CL-60's. Would pair perfectly with my Dual stereo (CS-1219, TG-29,CT-16, CV40 and MV061)..... GLWTS

I have a pair CL 144's and CL40's and they are surprisingly good. If I was closer (Newcastle) I would definitely pick them up! GLWTS

Looks very nice do you have the matched pre-amp?

G’day all , I’m looking for some original k3128 or k3149 crossovers, would appreciate any leads or advice. Cheers Stewart

Red its definitely a pepper pot, and based on the net search I have completed, the crossover i pictured was a tannoy 1012 network for the k3128. I admit they look the same as the HPD's. I'll definitely look at the glenair crossovers. Thanks for the lead.

Thanks for the words of wisdom. So I can fine tune my search, what would be a reasonable price for 15' Golds?..... and what would be your upper limit on 12s?

Hi I have an opportunity to pick up some mint 12" Golds, I was wondering what's people's views on them and what they are worth?

I will be listening to jazz, latin and other world music on them and have other speakers for the gritty heavy music ( Wharfedale e 70's). Thanks in advance for your wisdom. Cheers Stew

Scotty I can't wait to hear your review on the StereoCoffee Preamp, once when you have received it and had a chance to test it! I have been searching for a similar preamp/phono stage for an old Onkyo Model 931 power amp I have. Cheers Stew
