Good Points

An abusolute brute for an amp. Exceptionally clean and quite amplifier section. One of the nicest looking receivers ever built. Sansui G9700=when money is no object. Very well designed with high quality components.

Bad Points

I had to cut a whole in the back of my wall unit to allow for the oversized heat sinks on the rear of the chassis (boohoo).

General Comments

I originally purchased my Sansui G Series G9700 receiver in June of 1980 for considerable $$$. Like a fine wine, old '97 gets better (and more valuable) with age. Unfortunaetly my '97 has suffered the same fate as mentioned by my fellow owners listed here-a blown Transistor of the 75 watt very low destortion variety-which is proving difficult to find. I have kept this receiver in as new condition cosmetically and never made the mistake of throwing away the original box/packing. If anybody knows were I might obtain parts for this classic, I would be deeply greatful.

    Supposedly, there was a whole warehouse of Sansui spare parts, accumulated by the company for all the product line over the decades, everything from power transistors to replacement speaker drivers, that were consigned to a landfill by some middle level executive idiot in 1989 during a change in ownership. The value of these parts, with all the old Sansui units around worldwide, is hard to believe. So it is difficult to find replacement parts.
