If you have always wanted an affordable Golden Era Sansui, you have come to the right place. Anyone who knows Sansui knows that especially in the early years (the late 1960s to mid-1970s) the concentrated knowledge of power supply, transformer construction, winding technology, and amplifier layout led to several musical (amplifier) ​​highlights that are still to come and are sought after today. Sansui, which only entered the hi-fi industry after decades of transformer production, was able to realize its own, very demanding ideas for playback quality after the takeover of its competitor Hashimoto. It was during this time, more specifically in 1968, that the introduction of a small but even finer power amplifier, the BA-60, took place. As a pioneer of a famous production series, the BA power amplifiers, the BA-60 proves what is possible with well-thought-out concepts based on decades of experience. A well-thought-out concept, puristic design, excellent quality, superb production, and a timeless appearance turn a small, stone-like amplifier into something huge in purely acoustic terms: the musicality, the flow of the music, the textures and vibrations that characterize acoustic instruments or voices in particular. You can find out more about them here. Last but not least, many years of experience producing excellent tube amplifiers greet - an excellent reference. It is not without reason that this model is rare and sought-after, because this peculiarity of reproduction, the ability to 'think' musically like an amplifier, seems to have been lost somehow many years ago in most of the equipment offered today. The 60 shows what is possible and above all how effortlessly listening for hours makes you hungry for more and more. This BA is in very good 100% original condition for its age, the front panel is like new. The cosmetic condition is excellent. Revisioned, three biggest Capacitors were recapped with high-quality MUNDORF. Works on 110/220/240 volts with a power input selector, and does exactly what it is supposed to do. RARE FIND! Uncomplicated, visually classic but unobtrusive, and equipped with adjustable inputs, it is more of a workhorse than a poser. Until the music plays... High audio quality with very warm and detailed sound at the highest levels of audiophile listening. Characteristics are the black front, the beige body, and the surrounding frame. To call it audiophile: already then the frontal possible phase switching per channel and the typical channel balance test of the manufacturer. Both channel-separated fuses can be reactivated on the back - simply practical. SPECS: Power output: 20 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo) Frequency response: 20Hz to 60kHz Total harmonic distortion: 0.3% Damping factor: 46 Input sensitivity: 0.7V Signal to noise ratio: 80dB Speaker load impedance: 4Ω to 16Ω Semiconductors: 13 x transistors, 1 x diode, 4 x varistors Dimensions: 6 x 4-3/8 x 10-3/8 inches Weight: 9.2lbs
