READ MORE ON OUR "HIFI REVIEWS" PAGE

A QUALITY RECEIVER WITH EARLIER STYLED LOOKS FROM AS LATE AS 1976. DESPITE CONFUSING RATINGS GIVEN AT THE TIME IN THE PRESS & MANUALS, THIS IS A 40W RECEIVER GIVING 26v CLEAN SINE OUTPUT, AS OUR 'POWER RATINGS' PAGE TELLS.

THE xx1 SANSUI RANGE WAS CONFUSINGLY LISTED AS 'MUSIC POWER' ON MOSTLY LOW POWERED RECEIVERS, THE 771 FOR SOME REASON RATED 32W 20Hz-20kHz AS IT WAS RATHER LIMITED ON BASS & TREBLE. UPGRADED IT'S SOUNDING LIKE IT SHOULD, SURPRISING THAT 1976 HIFI IS STILL LIMITED, BUT SO IS SOME 1980s GEAR.

SMART LOOKER FOR 1976, INTO THE VINYL WRAP TOP WOODEN LID ERA, WOULD LOOK MUCH BETTER IN AMERICAN REAL WOOD VENEER. BIGGER AMP THAN THE LOWER POWERED ONES IN THE RANGE. A SLEEPER AMP IF HAVE SEEN BETTER PRICES IN USA BEING SOLD. VINYL WRAP BY THE GRILLE SLIGHTLY SHRUNK. WE'VE NOT COLOURED IT IN, YOU CAN USE WOOR STAIN ETC TO HIDE IT IF IT SHOWS

ALL WORKING WELL, PHONO, FM PLAYS IN STEREO, 'STEREO' LIGHT NOW WORKS WITH A LED FITTED, NOT AS FULLY LIT AS A BULB, IF IT DOES WORK, AS ON THE LAST PHOTO. LEDs FITTED IN THE MAIN TUNER WINDOW, NOT FULLY EVEN IN LIGHTING FOR SPACING AS OFTEN WITH LEDs. YOU COULD PUT THE GLASS 30MM FUSE BULBS BACK. HAS 3 CORE MAINS CABLE. REAR AM ANTENNA PULLS OUT BUT NOT TO ROTATE OR HINGE AS MADE.

SOUNDS GREAT ON OUR TANNOY GOLDS, A 1976 AMP THAT SUITS MORE SPEAKERS ISN'T SO USUAL, YAMAHA DON'T MATCH AS WELL. UPGRADES SORT OUT IT'S LIMITS SO BASS CORRECT NOW & CRISP TREBLE.

RECAPPED ON ALL BUT TUNER. A DECENT SOUNDING AMP THAT'S QUIET IN USE ON TURN-ON & TURN OFF. IN HIGH GRADE, JUST A THIN LIGHT SCRATCH TO THE LOWER RIGHT OF THE 'SELECTOR' AREA UNDER THE 'AUX 2' WORDING & ONTO THE FM MUTING-MIC SOCKET AREA, HARD TO SEE. HAVING 2x AUX INPUT GOOD FOR TV & A DVD.


A larger sized amp 480mm wide x 150mm high x 298mm deep if 340mm Max Depth inc fittings.

THE AMP ITSELF WEIGHS ABOUT 12KG
