Spent some time this week with the Sansui 2000X, a vintage receiver that feels less like a piece of equipment and more like part of the listening ritual itself.

Warm, flexible, and surprisingly versatile thanks to its dual phono inputs, especially when paired alongside the NAD 1020 and Yamaha YP-800.

New review now live on Needle & Vine.

#audio trivia: analog chain in Marantz cinema 30 is so damned bad, you need to fire up Dirac EQ/room correction to make a high end turntable and phono stage sound better than a Crosley - but just run the phono stage through a 1979 #Sansui AU-719 and you beat Dirac hands down.
