VINTAGE SANSUI BA-F1 STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER
INCREDIBLY RARE. MONSTROUS BEAST
MANUALS / SCHEMATICS INCLUDED.

You are looking at an incredibly rare monster power amplifier from Sansui - The Sansui BA-F1, I don't even know where to begin with this machine but I will try my best to describe just exactly how perfect this unit is.
The sound quality would be best described as outstanding: powerful, smooth, very natural and slightly warm while still providing plenty ...of punch and detail. The moving magnet and moving coil phono stages are incredibly good. It sounds very musical and is so so easy to listen to for long periods.
Like all Sansui's amplifiers and tuners manufactured in the late 1970's the BA-F1 has a thick aluminium front panel painted in matt black. When new, the AU-919 was supplied with professional style rack mounting handles to allow mounting into a 19" equipment rack. The rack handles are attached to the sides of the unit by two screws and are of course detachable.
It's an absolute true classic! The Sansui BA-F1 was Sansui's top power amplifier of 1979. It had world beating sound quality and achieved a "Recommended" rating in Hi-Fi Choice (a once well respected British Hi-Fi buying guide). The new price in 1979 was a hefty £480 in the UK - this was true high-end. For a stereo amplifier engineered to the same standards with a similar level of performance today you would have to pay in the region of £2500+.
All in all, I can not stress how much this will improve your days and nights listening to music.. It has been the conversation piece to many visitors at my home when they have heard the noise this makes. You get an absolute pure clarity output, and no matter what you throw at it, you can guarantee this can handle it. Bass is handled with ease and it genuinely puts a meaning to the phrase " sound is imagined ".
The condition of the amplifier is a solid 9/10. The cabinet is nice and shiny. The outside is free from damage, and all inputs / terminals work perfectly. Inside is also clean and free from any damage, The rack handles are also included in the sale of this amplifier.
Please take 10-15 minutes to google the reviews of this incredible amplifier. You will find nothing but the highest of praise for what is a phenomenal machine. This is your chance to grab a real bargain.
Please note : I am also selling the CA-F1 Pre-Amp, SC-5330 Cassette Deck, SE-7 Equalizer and TU-919 Tuner that goes with this :)
