As young, fresh educated, Radio-officer -
I sailed to New York - U.S.A several times on my first ship "Dyvi Oceanic".
I always took a trip into the Big City, and was of
course highly amazed
over what The Electronic Shops had to offer in this great town!
Walls up and down
filled with great stereo - amplifiers!
My dream was to buy a Sansui - and after some months sailing I bought:
"My First Sansui - The Great AU - 555 A"
Ref. http://www.sansui.us/Amplifiers.htm
From 1967 to 1970,
Sansui introduced the array of
the single number three digits
integrated amplifiers .
They were AU-222, AU-333, AU-555, AU-666, AU-777, AU-888, and AU-999
followed by improved versions;
AU-555A and AU-777D.
The sound of this series was very close to that of tube amps!
Even mixing with tube amplifierswith frequency divided
multi-power amps system,
"It sounded natural" - Great Sansui Sound!
