Chaps, Just looking for an item on Buyee.jp I found this rare gem. It was built by Chiaki Kikuchi, who was the founder of Sansui Electric Co in 1947. It looks like a simple, no frills amplifier, how I would like to listen to it.
This is a machine translated ad with plenty of mistakes. buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/...search_suggestCheers, |

Not found here
If cheap maybe take a punt but with shipping as well it can't be cheap

Starting price £3.200, shipping 2nd day approx £140. I bought many things from Buyee.jp, everything was as described and superbly packed.

I had a notion for quite some time that a Sansui CA303 and BA303 valve pre and power amp would be rather fantastic things to own. Those earlier models in the Sansui lineage are almost unknown or forgotten here in the UK, I think.
I thought the guy who started Sansui had a slightly different name to that, though. Kohsaku Kikuchi?

I do not have a Sansui, I have a Berning OTL amplifier connected to an Uesugi UBROS-1 preamp. I would like to try a transformer coupled valve amp with my Uesugi but my Maserati biturbo [1985] is a money pit.
Cheers,
