The Sansui AU-719 is an integrated amplifier that epitomizes the quality and craftsmanship characteristic of the Sansui brand during the late 1970s and early 1980s. It features a robust, solid-state design and offers a combination of both power and precision in its audio performance. With an output power rating of approximately 80 watts per channel into 8 ohms and a total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 0.05%, the AU-719 delivers clear and dynamic sound reproduction. The circuitry incorporates a direct-coupled design to reduce signal loss and improve fidelity across the frequency spectrum. The unit includes a phono stage compatible with both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges, allowing for connection to various turntables. Other specifications include a frequency response of 5 Hz to 100 kHz and a signal-to-noise ratio of over 100 dB. The amplifier is equipped with a variety of inputs and outputs, including multiple line-level inputs, rec out, and speaker outputs for easy connectivity. Its build quality is notable, featuring a heavy chassis and vintage aesthetic that appeals to audiophiles and collectors alike.
