Sansui AU-717 Integrated Amp TOL 1978Sold

As we have all the documentation for these Sansui pieces I think it would be appropriate to quote what Sansui had to say in their sales brochure about the AU717 and TU717 Amplifier and Tuner.

“The Elegant Essentials”

“Clean dynamic performance. We’ve achieved it in the all-new AU Integrated “DC” Stereo Amplifiers thanks to a daring design concept. Economy was not our prime objective in eliminating many of the unnecessary circuitry complications found in other amps. We wanted only to concentrate on the real essentials.

Essential #1. A true “DC” direct-coupled amp design. Not even one coupling capacitor is used in the circuit path or the feedback loop. Thus those factors which determine dynamic response, namely slew rate, transient response and TIM or transient intermodulation, are greatly improved. Frequency response now extends from DC (zero Hz) to an amazing 200kHz.

Essential #2. A precision phono equalizer with eight transistors per channel. It keeps RIAA equalization inaccuracy within a nominal +-0.2db over a wide 20 to 20 000Hz range.

Essential #3. An ultra-low internal impedance left/right twin power supply. It assures clean resolute sound image localization always.The New TU717 FM/AM stereo tuner is a different story. There are no revolutionary surprises here. Only excellence. Its steady-state specifications and dynamic response factors are equally impressive. And the new TU is exceptionally versatile where it counts. Just one example is its selectable WIDE/NARROW IF bandwidth which the inside pages will explain in detail. There’s good news for the eyes too. The new AU/TU models share the same dramatic new styling in looks and performance, you benefit from the advanced design and engineering excellence pursued over thirty years at Sansui-where its all Hi-Fi.”
