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?

 

Hey just tried to call you, Time to empty the mail box.

I have to be at work at 230 today so if your still going to be around at 1 then sure. I'll got to work from there.

Call Me

 

1985 called. They want their equipment back.

ps: HBD!

 

seriously old skool. Is that thing an analog turntable? The kind where there is an actual stylus that goes inside the groove on a vinyl record? I heard about those in history class!

Happy Happy!
Ya' just need some old tower speakers and your set.
Enjoy!

 

Nice find! What you really need is a TEAC reel to reel to go with it!

 

What is it?

 

Was the laundry basket included??

 

I think I've got a Quadaptor somewhere I'll sell ya

 

It was so nice to see everyone!

 

Er Richard.. you were born WELL b4 this equipment was made.. er.. wasn't it sometime when music was made with clubs?and rocks?

 

 

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.

 

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!

Oh - I was only 4 years old back then - my parents have a working 8 track for sale if anyone's interested??

 

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...
