It's a shame that Sansui never came out of the other side of when they went downmarket. Although they went *seriously* downmarket from what I've seen: latter-era Sansui stuff looks like the archetypal 80s cheap BPC which is tragic considering how they were originally a cut above the rest of the mass-market brands like Pioneer, Yamaha, Onkyo etc.
It seems like Sansui had an attempt at a comeback at some point:
It looks a lot like a modern Accuphase/Denon inside. Symmetrical amp section and preamp/phono squeezed into a compartment on the right. These are quite valuable, but at the time they must have not been successful enough.
