RARE Sansui AU-20000 Integrated Amplifier w/ Manuals, Audiophile, One-Owner!55 pics, Excellent Condition, All Original Paperwork! Up for sale is a rare Sansui AU-20000integrated amplifier. This amplifier is legendary. We obtained this amp from the original owner who purchased it new in 1977 from Stereo Warehouse in NYC. It has been babied from day one and is in truly pristine condition. The black faceplate shows virtually no wear as does the trademark eggplant case. There is one small scratch towards the rear of the case on one side. This amp sounds phenomenal. Exactly as you would expect. The trademark meters function as they should and all knobs and switches are smooth. The amp has seen little use over the past decade and a good cleaning would help relieve some noise in some of the knobs/switches. A truly powerful amp from Sansui’s heyday. Included with the sale is various original paperwork, THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT, spec sheets, warranty cards, and operation instructions. You will be hard pressed to find a nice AU-20000 anywhere.
