Hello to all Sansuiers,
I recently bought a Yamaha CR 700 on Ebay and what showed up was a Sansui G4700, not at all what I was expecting. I had been advised that Yamaha was what I wanted in a receiver or amp for the type of music I liked (classical). I hooked up the Sansui, and it was love at first hearing. Wow, was I impressed! The sound was warm and powerful, even with just 50 watts per channel. Well, I persevered and still got a Yamaha CA 610II amp and was expecting something even better than my Sansui. Was I disappointed in the Yammie! It was nothing compared to the Sansui. Herein, my problem I must have loved the Sansui to death because I proceeded to blow its two channels and fried it, as my audio repairman, a Yamaha man from way back, said to me. To quote him: "These electronics hate heat. It's OK to party for several hours but you must turn them off once in a while." I went ahead anyway and bought another Sansui G 4700. My question is: is he right (sounds reasonable to me) and the other thing did I do the right thing getting another Sansui G 4700?
