But it adds sooo much more bass rumble.
It transforms my Sennheiser into a Fostex in terms of lower bass.

 
 

If you enjoy it, use it. Most of us want a more neutral sound and don't like to touch the tone controls or loudness, but do what works for you...

I like it for DSOTM to get all 70 heartbeats before the music starts. And if I want to impress people with the dishes rattling...

One of my favorite things about the SX-1980 are the incredibly flexible tone controls. GOOD tone controls are a godsend.

i had bought a Sansui AU 7700 and the tech said to me that the tone controls are very good ....If you said so also it is a +

Yes - I use those exclusively on the 1250.  Loudness stays off.
 
Plus I recapped most of the tone control board with film caps - a little crowded but sure sounds nice!

Mostly unkown for those living outside Germany or parts of Europe, Dual CV 6020.  Bought it on a bargain sale at Ebay and didn`t expect that much. Connected this little piece of metal with my Denon DCD 890 and the AKG K 612. Weird combination? Maybe! If it comes to the quality of listening it`s perfect. Not High End, whatever this means, but very pleasant and nothing that makes your ears bleed. Mids and highs are  clear and bass is very low. Didn`t listen to my newer Denon stuff for the last couple of weeks.

I brought this monster home today. I'm not sure I will ever buy another amp after this one. @Silent One will understand as has has essentially the same unit.



It was a multi day trip to pick it up, but I brought the wife and made a small vacation out of it. I saw the ad a few months ago and reposted it here as a curiosity. Just a "that's nice but I'll never be that lucky " kind of feeling. It was up for a while so I contacted the owner and the rest is history.
It is fully recapped and super nice. I'm still kinda in a state of disbelief that it is in my living room.

A BIG Chug out to ya!

 
Will fully restore mine down the road...

It`s not a trick, it`s a Sansui. Unbelievable nowadays that such heavy weight champions were once popular. I rember that these items were sold at prices that were worth a new Toyata.

Does anyone know if new A/V receivers share a common ground?
 
I want to try the speaker taps from my modern yamaha.

Sitting here after a hard day listening to Aja on vinyl with my Sansui 9090 and all is good with the world...

You should be able to hook up your speakers to a modern A/V receiver.  It should have a pos and neg  terminals which your speakers have, ---  even really old speakers have those corresponding terminals?  Not sure what your question is?
I have a Fisher 400 tube receiver that uses the C or Common instead of a neg terminal.  Is that what you asking about?

 

[chillaxing]

Sorry i assumed that since we are on head-fi, that people will already know what i'm tallking about.

 
I wanted to use the speakers taps for headphone use.  Like how i use my ka-9100 and how many people use the emotiva mini-x from the speaker tap.

It really doesn't get much better than that.

The little 

 sibling seen in the wild Monday night at the Redondo Beach Public Library.
 

 
Patrons inside the library were speaking in hushed tones, so I politely jacked Phono 1.
Two hours later, I arrived for a session @ SBUX. Out came the 4-pin xlr adapter for the
modded HE-6. I tapped the speaker outputs and cranked up the volume!
