Der Sansui Thread

[Jolle007]

...Aber das Beste zum Schluss, den Tuner gab es geschenkt..........

....Ja nee - is' klar jetz' , Joscha....

.... wir leben ja auch in Zeiten , wo jedermann seine wertlosen Sansui's verschenkt...

Also die Geschichte dazu ist, als ich mit dem VK den Preis für den CD Alpha 717 DR ausgehandelt hatte, fragte er mich ob ich noch weitere Geräte von ihm kaufen wollte.

Doch schon der Preis für den CD Player hatte meine ganzen Barschaften aufgebraucht, so das nix mehr an Geld für weitere Geräte da war.

Der TU X 711 reizte mich aber schon, also ging ich in die Offensive.

Gemäß dem Motto Radio hört doch eh keiner mehr, DAB kommt und Radio wird in Kürze abgeschaltet........

Ach so da habe noch gar nicht drüber nachgedacht......., na dann bekommen Sie den
Tuner noch so dabei .

Gewonnen dachte und freute mir ein Loch in den Bauch

Folglich habe ich nichts für den Tuner bezahlt.

Aber das Schicksal meint es im Moment nicht gut mit mir.......

Der Thomas in Berlin hatte mir freundlicherweise geholfen und die Geräte in Berlin für mich entgegengenommen und da sich keiner fand einen Geraffeltransport in meine Richtung zu machen hat er die Geräte in zwei Paketen per Post verschickt.
Das eine Paket ist gelandet, das zweite hängt seit Dienstag auf dem Transportweg und bewegt sich laut Onlinetracking nicht weiter
Da der Thomas aber ein Verpackungsguru ist, bin ich sehr zuversichtlich, dass der CD Player heile hier landen wird......

tja Joscha - "den seinen gibts der Herr im Schlafe" viel Freude an dem schönen Tuner

[Jomark911]

Congrats Joscha , beautiful tuner. Enjoy it. The two antenna inputs will help you orient each antenna where it needs to be oriented.
Good tuner with good reception , noise rejection etc. Although the one I had back in 1991 , had a bit super flat sound , compared to my sony ta-e5es, which I ended up keeping.
I've seen a beautiful TU-X1 on ebay.de but the price is stellar , like 2500e or 3000e?

Anyway enjoy it, FM is still on of my favorites , and I suspect , your's too.

The one I'm talking about.

....very , ahem - ambitious.....

[contenance]

I've seen them selling between 650,- € an 1200,- € (depending on condition/etc. of course) - some were cheaper - but then it was just luck or there were parts missing or they were in serious need for some tender love & care.

Prices are a little crazy for TOTL-gear from Sansui - but to quote Deubi on that particular X1: "..very , ahem - ambitious...."

[nice2hear]

X1? maybe not all have seen Holgers TU-X1 report Klick hier zur story

[Jomark911]

I can't really make a sense out of it , since Google translation from German to English is horrible. The only idea that I get , is that this big boy requires alignment. Naturally after 30 years , most tuners do need alignment. That's not a problem. Same thing happens to amplifiers.
BUT apart from the alignment procedure , TU-X1 is the best tuner ever built , by every manufacturer known . Of course there is a matter of what you want to do with it , and where and how to use it. So sound wise and reception wise , it is still NO 1 . There are other good tuners too. Yes , no objection. But none superior to TU-X1. Don't forget that the tuners guru in usa , modify them to excellence , with todays parts.
Still as is with the know how and parts of the 80's , is still performing excellently. I would grab one in a heartbeat if I had the money. Unfortunately all units that are for sale are truly expensive. So I stand and admire them.

Have a look into the Lab Zero, B760, FM 2002 and you can see what is meant by the term build quality.
TU-X1 does not even have internal shielding...
Of course TU-X1 is not the best tuner ever built. You seem to have forgotten about all of the professional units.

TU-X1, however, is no no doubt the most bling bling tuner for the hi-fi-enthusiast, sure I'll give him that.
But at the same time the tuner with the most wasted effort and expense towards a totally useless AM circuit. A proof of concept, granted.

It may still be a legendary and highly sought after collectible item, but that's about all.
I'd personally rate a TU-919 the better unit. Which makes much more sense anyway and comes with way better looks.

[Jomark911]

Well, as I said earlier , it depends on the point of view .
As far as shielding goes , I believe it has shielding where it's needed .
I recall some so called battles for the best tuner , back in the 90's , from some magazines of the era. Eventually there were winners in both sides of Atlantic.
TU-X1 was the one in the west side. Now as far the 919 , take a look on the link above and see for your self how they rate it .

P.S. - ähem , deine neuen Poster passen nicht etwa rein zufällig auf Deinen Scanner...?

Na, ja, nee, aber wie isses hiermit ...

...You should'nt worry about Spoc's opinion - He do'nt give a damn on anybody's Equipment , except of his own....

...and He do'nt give a damn on any Sansui - We know about that...

[nice2hear]

nee Christian, das kannst du so nicht sagen. Ich sage mal dazu "it depends on". nur seine eher seltenen "die/der/das Sansui(s) können/kann was" Postings sind halt hier und da versteckt.

[sansui78]

Je weniger, desto besser, schlimm genug, wie die Preise hochgetrieben werden...

[Deubi]

.... seine eher seltenen "die/der/das Sansui(s) können/kann was" Postings sind halt hier und da versteckt.

...Donnerwetter , Peter - uns Spoc hat tatsächlich irgendwann mal an irgendeinem Sansui irgendein gutes Haar gelassen...??

...Sorry , Mann - habbich wohl glatt überlesen....

[monoethylene]

Wenn irgendwas verglichen werden sollte, ist es doch einfach nur notwendig, sich die technischen Daten anzuschauen. Noch besser waere es natuerlich, diese messtechnisch zu ueberpruefen..Das hat jedoch zur Folge, dass so manches Geraet auf einmal garnichtmehr so toll ist

[Jomark911]

Sorry guys , I can't follow , even with bing translator.

Ti kaneis

I can write it in greek . Nevertheless I wrote that it will be useful to compare the technical specs of above mentioned tuners to get the truth

[peugeot.505]

It always depends on the person itself. Some regard technical data and measurements as the only proof, others justify devices by listening to them.
So it is almost impossible to get two persons to have one opinion.
It is the same with geologists: Some regard a soil sample as sandy loam, some as loamy sand. Ask three geologists and you get 4 opinions

Ok Philip it's understandable now.

Hehe you're right Christian.
We say the same thing in Greece. Ask three greeks and you'll get 4 opinions.
