Vintage Hi End Audio Showdown! Sansui vs Accuphase

As part of my quest for wonderful audio, these two amplifiers have ended up in my system.
The super rare and sold only in Japan Sansui AU-X11 from 1982. Many people consider this the pinnacle of Sansui integrateds;
and the Accuphase P-102 50 Watt Class A power amp, with the C-202 pre-amplifier from 1987.
You guys have been asking me to make a video comparing the two.
So here it is.
Music is Tracktribe, "A Night Alone" from the TH-cam Audio Library.

If you're an audiophile, the quest for the weak link in your system is never-ending. For me, that was my DAC, sparking a desire to upgrade. PS Audio gear has always intrigued me, although it comes with a hefty price tag. So, when I stumbled upon a PS Audio Nuwave DSD DAC at my used HiFi dealer in Japan, I couldn't resist! It was set for 100V mains, but with a little transformer magic, I reconfi...

I snagged this Dual CS505-1 turntable for just $100 on eBay ages ago. Now that the stylus has finally given out, I took the plunge and invested $400 into an Ortofon OM20.

I recently embarked on an unforgettable sailing adventure aboard the majestic 3 masted 1874 barque "James Craig". Originally launched in 1874 as the "Clan McLeod", this storied vessel has had a wild past, serving in various capacities before being left to languish in Recherce Bay, Tasmania. After years of rusting away, she was refloated in 1972 and transported to Hobart, finding her way to Sydn...
