This is a very hard to find Sansui X 701 full function integrated [pre-amp and amplifier] with phono section.Along with the X901, this is considered by many Sansui fans to be one of the last of the GREAT Sansui builds from Japan. Yes, considered better than some of the early vintage models--I did a lot of research. This was Sansui's brief Renaissance period and they went all out on the build. This unit is in great condition. I'd rate it an 8 for age, but it looks absolutely wonderful. I bought it a few years ago from a guy who had owned it since new. He had replaced the main caps and serviced the unit fully since he is a capable audio tech. I even opened it up when I received it and it looked almost like brand new. These are very reliable builds. Everything works--at least everything I've tried--I don't have a tape deck to check the tape monitor. Strong amp, will play very loud, but it's very quiet and refined.I've used it weekly for about 3 years and it's performance is flawless. Unit is black/gloss black. Includes: phono section, headphone output, tone controls, tone defeat, source direct feature, two sets of speaker outputs and other full function features. Smooth as silk volume control. It's a moderately heavy amp, but I will double box for shipment. I know these are rather collectible in Europe. SEE shipping notes. BTW, one recently sold for 790 Euros. You read that right. See picture. I have perfect feedback on 3 other audio sites and will provide details on request. $499 check or money order preferred. Paypal is an option for buyers with feedback.
