The Sansui AU-717 is a legendary, dual-mono integrated amplifier produced between 1977 and 1979. Revered by audiophiles for its clean, DC-coupled sound and excellent phono stage, it pushes an ultra-conservative 85 watts per channel and features a robust build that enthusiasts consider a “lifetime” amplifier.
Key Specifications
