MicroMara Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Last week I was quiet busy to built and deliver some audiocables before new year, job is done so far. Than I ordered the second Micro Seiki Tonearm MA 505 MK II as well as the sec. Micro Seiki Arm Board AX 1 . The Tonearm comes from france in first class condition , the arm board is an original , unpacked NoS , get it here from a german Micro Seiki Lover. Wasn´t cheap ..close to 1,5 K$ and I´ll need more headshells and have to build three new set TT cables as well. Think that I have finished the upgrate till end of january ..maybe a bit earlier. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroMara Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 @Full Range a friend of mine bought the Sansui AU 717 ...he had him revised , cost were close to 500 € . He told me that he can now really hear the Sansui AU 717 for the first time, the difference between not revised and general revised is so big, he really did not expect. He said , that´s the best SS he ever owned and had listen to. Think it´s a must to do ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think I have read a bad review of the Sansui AU717 And I’m happy for your friend - both he and I are lucky audiophiles The most important thing in any amp upgrade is component choice When the technician is ready to start with my amplifier upgrade, I have chosen and will go with ELNA Silmic II The power supply already has the caps replaced with Panasonic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I´ll agree ...they´re State of the Art SS Amps .

Hi @MicroMara There is a great French specialist who restores and refurbishes Sansui, his reputation is very high and the packages are very solid. You may be able to contact him if you would like to purchase one of his beautiful restoration, in my opinion he will ship to Germany with no problem. It doesn't have to be in stock, but if you reserve it can give you a superb Sansui SSP that looks like new for many, many years to come. Or you send him a used Sansui bought in Germany and he reassembles it like new. https://son-passion.com/4-sansui https://www.facebook.com/son.passion/posts/1712935438870796/ https://www.homecinema-fr.com/son-passion-sansui-cest-sa-passion/5/ Hapy New Year ✌️ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Good evening one and all, and Happy New Year. Sorry Pezz, could not do a night of old recorded waltzes and yet another B'oven 9th. So, with that I am going to do some alternate fresh listening right here in LFMH. Enjoy the evening everyone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for responding just the same. Hope you've all had a lovely New Years celebration with family and friends if at all possible. I'll stop in again with some vinyl soon. 🍷 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was professionally many years in this dream city on the road, mainly in tsim sha tsui, was several times on Victoria Peak ( what a fantastic view at night over Hong-Kong, or traveled to Shenzhen or Guangzhou. However, this was still at a time when the Chinese had little political control over the city after the handover of the previouse british colony. Oh... how I loved the food ,the people and the city. I am shocked at what has changed in the last few years. I think the quality of life is still very high, but democracy and freedom in the sense of our ideas can hardly be said. I like to think back to that time. All the best 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The location in my profile is a reference to one of the franchised burbclaves in the book Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. I’ve watched a number of street photographer videos from Hong Kong over the years and it seems like a magnificent city to visit if only the mainland govt wasn’t so heavy handed nowadays. cheers, Josh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
