The Sansui G-9000 and G-901 DB are powerful audio receivers released in the late 1970s, specifically introduced in 1978. The G-901 is the European variant of the G-9000, differentiated by its gunmetal color faceplate compared to the shiny silver of the G-9000. Both models deliver impressive audio output, with the G-901 capable of producing 160 watts per channel at 8 ohms, accompanied by a remarkably low total harmonic distortion of less than 0.03%. Their large sizes contribute to their robust performance, with the G-901 weighing approximately 59 pounds and measuring 8 inches in height, 22 inches in width, and 19 inches in depth. The receivers feature an array of controls, including defeatable bass, midrange, and treble settings, as well as variable turnover options for bass and treble adjustments. An analog tuner with backlit power and signal strength meters enhances user experience. Additional features include a Loudness button, Mute button (-20db), high and subsonic filters, Dolby FM emphasis, and FM noise suppression. Connectivity options are plentiful, with multiple inputs for phono, tape, aux, and a 4-channel decoder, alongside headphone and microphone jacks. The receivers are constructed with high-quality components, including a substantial toroidal transformer and a large heat sink. They are considered rare finds and command significant resale values, typically selling for $2500 to $3500 in good working condition.
