Sansui AU-999 Integrated Stereo Amplifier Black Wood Veneer

Very nice integrated amp with pre-outs that alllow it to be used as a preamp as well. Just had it serviced and a lever replaced. The previous owner had it restored, and recapped (this is what he told me, anyway). This piece is the envy of every hifi enthusiast passing through my shop. It sounds as good as it is pretty. Below are some specs from Hi Fi Engine.
DESCRIPTION

The AU-999 is the most advanced professional control amplifier ever manufactured by Sansui.

Designed specifically for the ardent audiophile, it features the refined dull black panels common to all AU series professional control amplifiers from Sansui.

The pre-amplifier section is constructed of carefully selected low-noise PNP silicon transistors, while the power amplifier section features direct-coupled circuits specially developed with the improvement of tonal quality in mind.

Together, they permit the AU-999 to deliver a full 180 watts (4 ohms) in music power output with unprecedented tone quality.

The AU-999 is lavishly endowed with accessory circuits.

These include a tone selector circuit, an improved form of the triple tone control circuit that offers a choice in selecting the critical frequencies of tone control; a speaker selector which permits connecting three sets of speaker systems; a balance check switch which simplifies the job of adjusting for optimum balance of the right and left channel sound volumes; facilities to connect two phonographs and two tape decks, and a tape reprint circuit.

Special provisions have also been made to permit the amplifier to be built up into an electronic crossover stereo system and permit comparing such a system with a standard stereo set-up

I double and triple box all of my shipments, with an absurd amount of bubble wrap, and plenty of extra packing. I also add Reverb shipping insurance. So rest assured, that even if the package arrives damaged or broken, you will not be out your investment in the gear I just sold you. Reverb has always treated my customers and myself very fairly, and they are the best marketplace out there.
