It is two very nice vintage preamps, but I love the Sansui, one hell of cool looking and good sounding preamp. Your recording to TH-cam it is absolutely amazing.
Sansui an audiophile's dream still today. The BA 3000 amp @ 50lbs was a true powerhouse, when Japan overbuilt all of their electronics, and products always out performed their specs. 170 wpc @ .05%THD, 5Hz to 100kHz- absolutely sick and almost unattainable. The preamp was second to none as well. The Akai is cute, but not in the same league.
How can you compare the sound when your playing the record on a different turntable, and cartridge, and your playing around with the nobs The Sansui was probably double the price of the Akai when it was released.
both are awesome, I wish I could have one of these but they are so hard to find in good shape and they are so expensive here in Argentina, thanks for a great video!♥
Hi! If using a Dynavector 20x2 MC requiring 1000ohm load work with the Sansui preamp settings? It's an odd load as usually with cartridges they need 47k. Thanks in advance if you can answer the question.
Akai sounds like a perfect amplifier.

Sansui amplifiers i think is the best name ever. until now have the most amazing sound from all the brands.
The Sansui sound so good I wish I can find one to buy. That is the sound I have been
insane comparison, integrated vs separated plus the arm and cartridge, thousands vs hundreds.
The Sansui is really impressive.
The Sansui is much clearer sounding, but I think the Akai sound has more soul.
The big Sansui sounds so sweet . Lots of detail . I love this series of Sansui ( Definition Series) it’s the TOTL .

Sansui blows it away in a second.

The sansui sounds sweeter and the midrange is outstanding. The Akai sounds good too, but the Sansui takes the prize in my modest opinion.
sansui is the best ... the sound is fantastic
BTW thanks for posting this vid , it was verry interesting ! in fact they both beauties from long time ago.

Sansui is more realistic sound, but the Akai sound is clearly balance Mid, High and Low range is Good.. 👍👍👍
They both sound fantastic
Nothing against Akai Sansui sweeps your wildest dreams!
