Sansui G-5000 Receiver

This unit has been fully serviced, deep cleaned and is ready for another 50 years of tunes.

Unit had all controls and pots cleaned and lubed with De-oxit, any suspect caps changed out with new high end caps and checked to spec. Ready to go.

The Sansui G-5000 is a highly regarded vintage AM/FM stereo receiver manufactured in Japan between 1978 and 1980. Part of Sansui's renowned "Pure Power" G-series, it delivers a conservative 45 watts per channel into 8 ohms and is celebrated for its exceptional build quality, punchy sound, and iconic 1970s aesthetic. 

Key Specifications

  • Power Output: 45 watts RMS per channel into 8
  • Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): Just 0.03%
  • Frequency Response: 5Hz to 50kHz
  • Tuner: Highly accurate analog AM/FM tuner with signal and tuning meters
  • Inputs/Outputs: Phono (turntable), AUX, Tape (Play/Rec), and connections for up to two pairs of speakers
  • Dimensions & Weight:  mm; 14 kg (approx. 31 lbs) 

Highlights & Sound Profile

  • Sound Quality: The G-Series is prized for its "pure power DC" technology. It offers an accurate, highly detailed, and punchy sound signature, making it a fantastic choice for rock, jazz, and vinyl listening. 
  • Aesthetics: It features a striking brushed aluminum faceplate, large weighted knobs, square push-buttons, and a wide backlit glass dial that gives it a classic "monster receiver" look. 

Important Considerations

  • Market Value: Because these receivers are highly sought-after by vintage audio enthusiasts, fully functioning units in good cosmetic condition commonly sell on the secondhand market for anywhere from $700 to $1,100, depending on the seller and condition.
