Review 1 of 8

Price Paid:  $80.00 from Flea market

Summary:
All I have to say about the G-5700 is wow! I have been running a KA7100 Kenwood and this thing just eats it up. I have a Sony GA7es surround reciever which supposidly has more power and again the 5700 just blows it away.

Strengths:
Great sound, plenty of power, good FM reception. Excellent build quality.

Weaknesses:
AM a little weak.

Similar Products Used:
Various audio componants from the 70s.

Review 2 of 8

Price Paid:  $0.00 from American TV

Summary:
This Sansui G-5700 rocks! I have had it since 1979 with no problems! It belts out music better than some of the current models out their! Like they say "They dont build them like they use to". If you can get your hands on one, I would recommend buying it! Right now I have it hooked up to a pair of JBL'S and it does not miss a beat. Yes, AM reception is terrible, but who listens to talk radio anymore? I am hoping this lasts me 25 more years! I have moved to three cities with it, belted 70's,80's,90's and now millenium music and this stereo keeps rocking!

Strengths:
Everything, it is the best build receiver ever!

Weaknesses:
porr AM, needle dial starting to wear out/not move as well

Review 5 of 8

Price Paid:  $225.00 from ebay

Summary:
I''ve been around when it comes to good audio receivers,i''ve never owned a G-5700 but compared to my Sony Surround Receiver there''s no matching the quality sound the G-5700 puts out,as far as i''m concerned the surround receivers should be for movies only,i don''t plan on getting rid of my Sansui as a matter of fact i plan on buying a 9090DB and a G-9000,(Good listening to all.)

Strengths:
Sound Quality,Ease of Operation,Looks

Weaknesses:
NONE

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
