I certainly is a gorgeous amp!!!
Some more photos - removed one of the amp module to check condition, everything looks almost new apart from a slight film of dust............ and a little bit of the dreaded Sansui glue - and although this is sparsely used there are stil a couple of components that have slight lad corrosion evident where the glue has touched them
Note the copper plates on either side of the output transistors
Nice Caps!!!
Note that the whole amp module is isolated from the chassis - these bushes are present on both ends of the module securing screws (they are visible on some of the other photos)
Two strips of vibration deadening material on the heat sink fins
The bottom plate removed
Copper Bottom plate - note the feet insulating/isolation material
The feet - i think that are solid copper - no wonder this amp weighs in at around 34kg
Had a brief listen tonight, a totally engaging sound, and just a fantastic example of Sansu's engineering/design skills that were exemplified in these later japanese domestic models
