    I got this on a trade deal with my Spendor D9.2's I was going to move it along to another person. and put the money back into speakers. but after a listen i don't think i can. just a great sounding DAC. now I'm hooked on Chord.

    • Sansui Tu 9900 tuner restored
    • Tri-Art Audio Open 5 Open, open baffle speaker system
    3 Way, 5 driver open baffle speaker system, featuring bamboo baffle, 18" sub bass, 15" mid bass, 8" full range midrange ( not run full range), soft dome tweeter and supper tweeter. external crossovers. 

    This is one speaker that's not very well know, but i moved from the Spendor D9.2's to these and at half the cost they smoked the Spendor's in all regards.

Hi @glennewdick,

Did you ever get a chance to find the names of any of the lab-rated linear power supply makers?

Thanks!

"Did you buy the Sansui TU 9900 on the used market, I sold one to I think it was the Music Room about 3.5 years ago. Just curious if you ended up with it. Good looking system."

No i got it locally to me in Victoria BC Canada. I had it restored as well.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the difference between the Omegas and the Heresy IVs. Great looking system BTW!

What's up with the stacked Quads/Quad lls and the 301/Decca?

Very nice looking system and room!

What a beautiful room and system. Your plinth is spectacular. I have a Purpleheart clad with MDF interior under my Garrard 401. It's all I want or need.

Very nicely done! Regards,
Dan
