Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |

A few days ago I've had the opportunity to listen to a completely restored / upgraded Sansui AU-999 integrated from the 1970's.
The French guy who does the restoration has a company called "son-passion".
I was skeptical, to be honest; but boy was I wrong! That amp made such glowing, sweet, but detailed and dynamic sounds, it was like listening to a great modern tube amp.
And the looks! to die for.
Son-passion doesn't sell the modded AU-999 for cheap (around 2500$) but once you hear it, it seems like a great bargain.
Again, we put my friend's Musical Fidelity M6i amp to compare, and it was flat, dull, uninspiring...
It's amazing what you can extract from those old amps with a little care and love!
