Recently, I've become very interested in the amps put out by Sansui in the 70's, mostly because I think there's some of the prettiest amps made. I've read that Japan put out some of the best sounding solid state amps in the late 70's, during a time when product wars were based on performance, not price.

I've never had a chance to spend a lot of time with any of these vintage amps and would like some comments on how they sound compared to today's offerings. Also interested in comparisons to today's tube amps.

thanks,
gar.
