Description from the seller

Sansui G-5500 stereo receiver, like new and totally original in every part. It has no scratches or damage. Perfectly functioning and still with its original box.

A rare item and highly prized throughout the world of collecting.

The Sansui G-5500 stereo receiver is a high-fidelity audio device of excellent quality, highly appreciated by vintage hi-fi enthusiasts.

The build and sonic quality stand out for the following technical aspects:

Pure Power DC Technology: This direct-current (DC) configuration eliminates capacitors in the signal path of the final amplifier. The result is a clean, dynamic sound with no artificial coloration.

Extremely low distortion: It has a total harmonic distortion (THD) of only 0.03% at full power, an exceptional value for the era (late 1970s) that guarantees faithful audio even at high volumes.

Extended frequency response: It ranges from 5 Hz to 50 kHz, broadly covering the human audible spectrum and preserving the finest details of the high and low frequencies.

Premium tuner section: FM/AM reception has historically been considered one of the strengths of the Sansui G series, thanks to excellent selectivity and the ability to lock onto weak signals stably.

Build quality: The heavy metal chassis, the solid aluminum front panel, and the knurled knobs machined from solid convey the typical mechanical robustness of “tanked-built” devices from that era.
