My Birthday Present

[jabell2r]

Check out what I got for my birthday.


I have had the Denon for a while now. Just got the Sansui G-5700 On ebay.

Plugeed it in today and everything works now all I need is some speakers as
the little computer speakers won't handle 75watts each.











Cool right.
Ok some of you are thinking why.

But it's 300 watts of good old analog power with a phono input .

Happy Happy Birthday!!!! Will I see you @ Hendricks today?

Lol - I know that you probably picked 1985 because it sounds soooooo long ago to you, but the G-5700 had already been out of production for three years by the time 1985 rolled around. It could even be from as far back as *gasp* 1978!!!

(I know - dig out the carbon-dating equipment....)

Seriously, that's a nice receiver - Sansui made some good solid-state gear back in the late 70's/early 80's.

It's funny to look back at what was "new" and "cool" then. If you look at the original eight-page magazine ad for the 5700, there's an *entire page* dedicated to the fact that the 5700 would automatically "lock on" to FM radio stations to prevent drift. (This was an early version of the PLL (Phase-Locked-Loop) FM tuning system that *everyone* uses now, but it was new and exciting at the time).

The serial # indicates this one was built in 1980. Long before MP3's destroyed the world of music.

No more using a radio shack pre amp and having to decide what digitally pretend room I'm in when I want to listen to music in stereo.

Thank You all for the Happys.

Carol sorry I could hang with you all for a while, but duty calls.

I actually have some old wood grain tower speakers that would go really nicely with that setup.

Wow an actual analog dial, I haven't seen one of those in years.

[Trainman]

Suweet. My tuner from 1977 finally gave up the ghost. I'm looking at one of those new fangled digital amps to replace it. Just difficult to find one with a pre-amp. My Direct Drive turntable and reel to reel are still going strong!!
Happy Birthday!

[eager2own]

Can it plug into the MINI's aux input?
Watch out for speed bumps.

You laugh, but you could order an in-dash (under-dash, actually) turntable in a 1956 Chrysler...
