AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Legendary Sansui CA-2000 from 1976, epitomizing Japan's golden age of high-fidelity audio with sophisticated dual-monaural construction, comprehensive tone controls, and the warm, musical sound signature that made Sansui a global audiophile favorite.

Features extensive connectivity including dual phono inputs, multiple tape monitoring functions, and precision tone bypass capabilities, delivering transparent sound reproduction with the robust build quality characteristic of 1970s Japanese engineering excellence.

A distinguished vintage component that combines timeless brushed aluminum aesthetics with exceptional sonic performance, representing the pinnacle of analog audio craftsmanship from the era when music reproduction was elevated to an art form.

Operation was tested using the AUX-1 input.
There is slight scratchy noise (potentiometer noise) around volume position 22.
The filter switches also produce slight noise when toggled.
The right channel output has a faint intermittent noise, and the balance control on the right side also shows slight noise.
Changing other levers/switches also caused audible changes/noise.

Please note that the unit has not been fully tested beyond the points mentioned above, so bid with the understanding that other functions may not have been checked.

As this is a vintage item that was manufactured several decades ago, it shows age-appropriate signs of use, but it is in very beautiful condition considering its age.

Please refer to the photos for more details regarding the condition and included accessories.

Shipping will be provided with a tracking number.
Import duties and taxes are the responsibility of the buyer,
so please bid with this understanding.
