The early Sansui's were some of the richest sounding SS gear available. I have had a model 3000 and I currently have a 4000 and a 5000x. All are warm sounding amps that can really cook. The 5000x can have the pre detached (unstrapped) so it is easy to try tube front ends. This can be a big plus as the power can be nice but the added sound stage and warmth of the tubes really make for a wonderful combination. I now have made a complete transition to tubes and flea power. Once you let a tube into the system I think your destiny will be to go all the way. I often wonder if those great old systems , the Pioneers, Sansui's, Fishers, weren't the reason we're audiophiles today. Please don't be offended as I know I have missed some other very nice sounding systems, there are just to many to list!
