Hi all. Hello BeatleFred, I am am Fab4 fan too.
I use the 919 with a pair of Yamaha NS1000M studio monitors. I use the system mainly for Vinyl, CD´s and my Roland RD500 Digital Piano. The sopund is stunning. I used to sell Sansui Amps in a Hi-Fi shop back in 1978/79. Got a better job before I could afford to buy one though! I bought the amp and speakers back in 1980 and they have been immense. The only other amp I ever considered was the Yamaha CA1010, which was gorgeous, and solidly built. Its sound quality was/is comparable to the AU919, but the Sansui was a lot cheaper and represented fantastic value for money. Anyway, I haven´t seen any of the AU series for years. Although I live in England, I am currently on holiday at my in-laws in Brazil. Why is this relevant? Well, I took a trip to the local music store, and there, powering there speaker set-up was an AU517. I am going to return and ask if they will sell it, or swap it for a new amp, which I will buy to replace it. My other half thinks I am nuts, but that´s nothing new. Anyway, other amps in my collection include Technics, Leak, Yamaha, NAD, Akai, Hitachi and Eagle. My loudspeaker collection includes, Celestion Ditton 22´s and 44´s, Monitor Audio, Sony, Acoustic Research, JVC and Pioneer.
My main turntable is an Ariston RD 11S with a Shure Series III arm with detachable head shell. Other turntables include a Technics and a Pioneer.
I love the old stuff! Regards to you all.
