SANSUI AU-α607XR:A high-end vintage Japanese integrated amplifier!DescriptionThe Sansui AU-α607XR, released in Japan in 1994 during the “Golden Era” of high-fidelity Japanese audio equipment, is a vintage integrated amplifier of exceptional quality. The AU-α607XR offers a power rating of 90W+90W at 8 ohms, with a total harmonic distortion (THD) of < 0.003%. The amp circuitry is of the highest quality, with Sansui’s highly advanced α-X circuit, where amplification of the positive and negative components of the signal are carried out by independent amplifiers, which further reduces noise and distortion. Transmission and amplification of the signal are performed simultaneously, and the circuit has a balanced configuration absent of external noise or common-mode distortion. This model features an updated version of the α-X power supply, which has a closed loop configuration and extremely high-end electric components, such as custom capacitors and transformers. Advanced chassis design, internal damping technology, and twin-mono construction ensures signal isolation from vibrational interference. Everything about this amp spells quality, with its precise, thoughtful construction and beautiful appearance.
