Sansui - G-8000 Pure Power DC Solid state stereo receiver

Sansui G-8000 — a unique collectible exemplar

For sale I offer a exceptional Sansui G-8000 receiver, preserved in practically factory condition. Visually it looks like it just came out of the box – without scratches.

This is my personal unit, which I have been seeking for many years. The reason for selling is solely that I managed to acquire a Sansui G-9000 in an equally beautiful condition.

The receiver has undergone a comprehensive service at Proton Audio. I have an invoice for the work performed and a detailed service document. About 80 components were replaced, including electrolytics, faulty transistors, resistors and double diodes. Low-noise transistors from OnSemi and Nichicon PW, MUSE ES and FG Fine Gold capacitors were used. The old adhesive causing corrosion was also removed, relays and switches were cleaned, solder joints refreshed, PCB cleaned, pastes under the transistors replaced, and bias currents as well as 0 VDC adjusted.

I also have an exceptionally rich set of documentation for the receiver: user manual, Sansui International Limited Warranty card, the original service diagram, and additional Sansui documentation. This is complemented by Proton Audio’s service documentation, an invoice, and the original parts removed during the service.

The G-8000 in this condition is practically unattainable. It is a unit for a collector who seeks not only a well-preserved device but also complete documentation and confirmed service.

The amplifier presents itself phenomenally and sounds phenomenally as well. The minimum price is high, but it reflects the uniqueness of this particular unit.

Highly recommended.
