Clean sound, excellent depth and clarity

none

I bought mine a month ago from e-bay.com. I got it now, It is powerful, beautiful, and BIG!...I was very astounded in the quality of sound. Forget any of the new recievers today. I once heard a Old Toshiba Reciever. It was 25% bigger than my Sansui but counded like Crap....the Sansui is 200 times better :-)

Wish it had a real walnut case like the old Pioneer's had. i.e. the Pioneer SX-1980
(anyone have one of those for sale???)

Sansui G7700 Pure Power Receiver.
Haven't seen another mention of this one, but I have owned this for 20 years. Took it out of moth balls and hooked it up in my 4 car garage...WOW! It is like a concert hall.
Does anyone else own one of these?

Hey George and Ian,
Couldn't agree with you more. Back in 1978, I was thumbing thru a copy of Stereo Review, and I came across a nearly full-size fold-out ad for the New Sansui "G" line of receivers. Gawd!, did I fall in love with the looks of the top-of-the-line G-9000. So I bought one. It's now almost 21 years old, and is still my most prized posession! It's in immaculate condition, and IMO it's still one of the best receivers made. Absolutely awesome dynamics, power to spare at 160 watts per ch.
It's a shame that nothing is made the same anymore, or at least it would cost a fortune.
If either of you, or anyone else would have a review of the G-9000 from any source, I would appreciate if you could post a summary of it here.

Thanks.

Super Clean Power, Nice Sound.

BIG! Not enough inputs, controls get dirty.

I started out as a casual listener with a Realistic reciever in the mid 80s, I was never pleased with the sound of my system and I could not find the problem, was it my speakers? Other sourses, or the reciever?. After spending money replacing almost everything I had, Speakers, Vynl to CD, EQ, I finaly replaced Realistic with a Kenwood and after all was said and done I STILL wasn't pleased. Then in 1994 I picked up a Sansui G-8000 for $50.00, After some cleaning of the controls I got it working well and I hooked everything up. Holy SH##! Satisfaction at LAST! This thing made my system jump to life, Everything sounded better up and down the spectrum. I listened to my colection of CDs for hours amazed at what I had ben missing. This Sansui of the 70s made my system and became my most prized posession.
Then in 99 disaster! The thing Blew up! (DEEP DEPRESSION):(.I tried to get it repaired locally, but no one wanted to repair it, so the search was on for a replacment.
Now understand that I like audio a lot but can't afford separate compents, so I got a $400 Sony, NOT PLEASED. Then in 2000 I got a Pioneer, What the heck was I thinking! This thing sounded worse than the Sony!
Fast Forward to 10/2001.
After reading the reviews here I decided to purchase a Sansui from ebay, One week later I got a Sansui G-7700 for $175.00 with buy it now feature.
Well let me tell you I am VERY PLEASED! I am back in audio heaven again! 2yrs is way to long to wait for the sonic clarity these old rcievers can deliver, and for $175.00 it is one of the best deals you can get.
If home theatre is not important to you and you just want a very nice audio system, save yourself some $400+ dollars and buy a 70s G series reciever. You won't regret it.

Excellent sound quality, Clarity

Controls often very dirty/wore because of age

I spent my "teen" years listening to a friends G-9000. It was one of the best purchases besides beer that was made as a bunch of us rented a house together. Often times we had parties where there were no less than 10 pair of speakers hooked up to that unit. We even would connect a string of old christmas tree lights to the outputs and have them flashing to the beat at the same time! The unit works today with of course some dirt in the controls.

I recently "returned" to the past by purchasing a G-8000 on E-bay. Sure feels good to "live" in the clarity that these recievers delivered. They are indeed the best value around if you want to listen "Loud"!

Now my wife wants one for her listening enjoyment. I will be watching E-bay for my next sansui..........

G-9000 - modern "black" trash

Here's another oldie but a goodie. My Sansui G-7500 Reciever. It's 22 years old now and still running clear and strong. When you compare alot of the recievers today to the old stuff it just doesnt come close in power and clarity. I also have a Technics home theatre reciever that i bought in January and it doesnt sound as clean as the Sansui.I know the G series recievers of this time were very popular. If any one has this model Sansui or any other G series Reciever I would like to hear from you. please post

I purchased the G-4700 in 1980. I love it.I tried to replace it with a Pioneer last year. NO good.
I tried to replace it with a Denon 3200. Didn't like how it sounded.
The worst part about my Sansui is finding a replacement for it.
I'm looking for an AC-3 receiver.

They don't make them like they use to before. Sansui amps had awesome dynamics, sound, and power. Where did they go? The Sansui now is definitely not the same

I have read the reviews on the G7500 and 9090, but can anyone tell me how thw G8000 and g9000 sound? I own a g6700 and believe me when I say it sounds very very good indeed, I own a bryston 4B-st stereo amp, a linn lp12 turntable , and a pair of mirage m1-si speakers, i also own a pioneer sx 1280 mint, The g6700 rated at 90 watts, sounds better than the sx 1280 rated at 185 watts, it's how the circuits are designed that maks them sound the ways they do, if anyone out there has any write ups on any of these receivers , or the G8000, or G9000, please let me know. thanks alan....
