Sansui G-7700 Pure Power DC 120WPC Receiver from 1979/1980

Описание: Sansui G-7700 120WPC receiver from 1979/1980. This has the “Pure Power DC” branded amplifier circuit, presumably the same engineering as the G-9000 (and other G- models). I kind of forgot about this receiver and it’s been 9 months since last powering it up. Tonight, it’s really pushing my HPM-100’s after a 1 hour quiet idle to “warm up” after sitting and for its age (this is how I fire up my electronics that have been sitting for months prior to a workout, and it it may not be necessary).

Picked this up from a DJ who posted a Facebook Marketplace ad in Oak Lawn, IL on a rainy night in Spring 2022. I’m apparently the third owner and I won’t even open it as it’s so clean to begin with. Display lights don’t dim much at all at high volume so I think it’s strong and far from needing a recap.

Akai EA-A7 resident EQ off to the side which I use with most of my receivers (minimal db increase setting on bass and treble but I like a little boost). I’m playing music with flat bass and treble + loudness button on the Sansui itself and it sounds so great.

I‘m not sure if my G-9000 or G-7700 sounds better. These are pieces of art, and this was the beginning of the transition from analog to digital (thus, both analog and digital tuner displays) and the beginning of end of the silver monster receiver era.

Finally, we installed 2 sets of whimsical RGB-IC strip lights in our basement along the ceiling. What’s different about the “IC” is that they have sections of light which operate independent of each other. Many of these stick on strip lights can only be controlled in their entirety end to end - one color, they all flash, blink or fade, that sort of thing.

RGB-IC is more expensive, but the light modes are really really cool as you’ll see here. I think there’s over 50 different patterns colors rainbows that sort of thing. Tonight’s mode is called Carnival - It’s pretty cool.
