Interesting buy!
It turned out to have a problem--left channel would drop out. 'Hitting' it would bring it back. Obviously a bad connection, but it took me a few days to find the cracked solder joint and fix it.

Gave me a chance to 'bond' with the unit....

Now I'm working on putting together some fitting speakers for it.

Glad to know that you have the skills.

I have a Au919 Sansui, which in my opinion is a very special Sansui, but
I have heard great things about your amp.

Over time your impression would be welcome.

Skills are rudimentary but often enough sufficient. If I like the results of the frankenspeaker project, I'll make an AK thread and share 'em....

The AU-919 is certainly well-loved, and very good-looking. I'll compare the G99X with a thing or two, in the future.

There you go Don. That reminds me, I've got a Marantz 3200 pre on the bench that I should get back to. Picked it up cheap a few years back from CL.

Onkyo P3200 pre-amp at Savers for $13.50....it sat there for three weeks today was half off...not as good as the Onkyo P3030 I have but does not have channel problems.

The P3030 will go to the powered Tannoy studio monitors in the garage for exercise bike duty.


Rudyard Kipling Selected Prose and Poetry hard back 1936 edition.....SCORE!

i have a kick ass Savers.

I'd take your word for it

Old books are becoming hard to come by here nowadays, at least affordably. I was lucky, I went on a binge in the early 90s. Still working through some of them.

Books are being landfilled by the ton.

In 20 years vintage books will be worth big bucks.

One Goodwill told me all old looking hardback donations are being sorted and sold to booksellers as well.
