: As far as I am aware of, there arent any signs of cost-cutting in the AU-D11 II. The use of cheap plastic was seen more on their 80's receivers rather than their integrated amps- the integrateds utilized some rather sophisticated designs.
: The AU-D11 that came before was very highly regarded in the reviews (Stereo Review magazine 6/81 & Audio 2/82), I have no reason to think the D11 II would be any different if not even better. The three other people that I know of who own D11 II's are very impressed and pleased with the amp.
: If I didnt have as much Sansui hi fi gear as I already do (and no space left where its all set up- my basement) I would like to have an AU-D11 II also.
: B/F.
thanks for the info fred. i just looked at the d11 and it appears to have more inside along with more heat sink though the II has more gold rca's. being that a mark 2 should usually mean improvements..but this might have been a slight decline...what im trying to find is some specs somewhere... ill try the review on the d11 first. though maybe no reviews available on mark II-- any suggestions?
