This Sansui 9090DB was made in September of 1977
Bought in Japan
Dimensions: 21.26" x 7.16" x 15.63"
Weight: 50 lbs.
I have had this Sansui receiver for 30 years and use it daily to play music. A year ago I decided to have it refurbished as one of the speaker channels started cutting out. To hold me over, I bought a very nice refurbished Marantz receiver and have decided to keep that and sell this. This 9090DB is a beast and sounds great playing any type of music. Feel free to reach out if you want and I can shoot video or even do a live Zoom video call.

A full electrolytic recap of all PCBs (power supply, driver boards) using high-quality capacitors:
- Main Filter Capacitors: Original filter capacitors replaced with modern, smaller equivalents.
- Audio Path Upgrade: Film capacitors used for key coupling capacitors in the audio path to improve sound quality.
- PCB Recapping: All boards recapped with low-impedance/high-temperature electrolytic caps.
- All controls cleaned and lubricated with professional quality branded products.
- All lamps replaced with LEDs
- *Dolby FM module bypassed. (Dolby FM was a noise reduction system for FM radio. FM stations no longer encode signals, so you're all set.)
