    Default Almost posted this in the "Tasteful Babe" thread:

    Name: Sansui_CA3000_Large_02.JPG Views: 231 Size: 121.2 KB


    Yes, every so often I go "googling" for Sansui vintage stuff.

    Saw this pic of the Sansui pre-amp, and have come to the firm conclusion:

    Sansui made some sweeeeeeeeeeeet looking vintage gear.

    Actually nice sonically, too.

    So .... I saw on Jerry Springer once where a guy had married a horse. I'm going to check into seeing if it's possible for me to at least have a common law marriage with some vintage Sansui gear.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but ..... did I mention the preamp was BE-YOU-TEE-FULL ?

    :(

    Usually right, but sometimes not entirely factually correct.

    true.. Sansui did indeed make some beautiful looking and sounding gear in the day. To bad they aren't around anymore in that form.

    Collectors are buying them up.... because they aren't being made like that anymore and never will again.

    What do you mean vintage, I remember when this stuff came out. Also the speakers and other Items. If they are vintage does that mean I am. Does that mahe good also Like a good wine. They made some great looking speakers back then.

    Maybe we should start a Tasteful Units thread, but that might get a little weird.
