Funny, that has been my point of comparison. My main system, Sansui 5000x, Sony Pl X5, Pioneer Elite DVD/CD, Nakamichi CD4, and Acoustic Research AR-93, all cost me less than an ipod, even taking into account what I spent on parts rehabbing the ARs and the Sony. I know you don't like Sansui, but listening to it puts me in a happy place. Even you would agree that it sounds considerably better than an ipod.

I know you were funnin' and you know I was. When we can take a joke, particularly a little ribbing, it does show how we can get along. It does seem, however, that the most harmony occurs in the Off-Topic forum.

Don't like Sansui????

Since the only Sansewage equipment I own is a restored 1000A, two TU-717's, a TU-666, SC-3110, AX-7 mixer, and a few other canners and cutters you may have a point.

The 1000A is a particularly nice piece, the tuner is probably more sensitive than either of my 717's, the amp section gives up very little to my Dareds, although the phono stage kind of sucks. Nothing an external phono pre won't cure. It also has a loudness and presence control, which makes it compatible with a wide range of speakers. It will even make a set of Bose 301's sound, well, ok.

I sold my Fishers and kept the Sansui, if that tells you anything. And the tricked out X-202-C I used to own was a stunning piece.
