AUTUS FORTUNA LLC Revitalizes Audio Experience with Classic Sansui Amplifiers

PORTLAND, OR – October 26, 2023 – AUTUS FORTUNA LLC, a US-based audio specialist located in Portland, Oregon, is breathing new life into the world of high-fidelity sound with meticulously restored and upgraded classic Sansui amplifiers. Serving audiophiles across the country (and increasingly, internationally), AUTUS FORTUNA isn’t just selling vintage gear – they’re delivering a piece of audio history, reimagined for the modern listener. “We're passionate about sound – really passionate,” says a spokesperson for AUTUS FORTUNA LLC, reachable at 708-843-0241. “And for us, that passion starts with the golden era of audio engineering. Sansui, back in the 60s, 70s, and even early 80s, they knew how to build an amplifier. Solid build quality, a warm, inviting sound… it’s something that's hard to find in a lot of today’s gear.” Why Sansui? A Legacy of Sound Sansui, a Japanese electronics manufacturer, established itself as a leading name in high-fidelity audio during the mid-20th century. Their amplifiers weren’t just about amplifying signals; they were about recreating the feeling of the music. Models like the AU-50, AU-70, AU-90, and the highly sought-after AU-9900, and the G-series (G-7000, G-9000) became legendary for their smooth, powerful, and detailed sound. They're known for that classic "warm" sound that many audiophiles are searching for. “These old amps weren’t built to be disposable,” explains the AUTUS FORTUNA team. “They were built to last. And a lot of them have lasted, but after 50, 60 years, even the best components start to show their age. That’s where we come in.” AUTUS FORTUNA’s Restoration Process: More Than Just a Repair AUTUS FORTUNA doesn’t simply "fix" old Sansui amplifiers. They embark on a comprehensive restoration process, treating each unit as a unique piece of audio history. This isn’t an assembly line operation; it’s a careful, hands-on process performed by experienced technicians who understand the intricacies of vintage audio equipment. The process typically includes: Complete Disassembly: Every amplifier is completely disassembled to assess the condition of all components. Component Testing: Each component – resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes – is meticulously tested to identify anything that’s drifted out of specification. Component Replacement: Faulty or aging components are replaced with high-quality, modern equivalents – without changing the original character of the amplifier. AUTUS FORTUNA focuses on maintaining the sonic signature of the original design. They often use upgraded capacitors and resistors to improve reliability and performance. Power Supply Rebuild: The power supply, the heart of any amplifier, receives special attention. Old capacitors and transformers are often replaced or rebuilt to ensure stable and reliable power delivery. Bias Adjustment & Calibration: After reassembly, each amplifier is carefully biased and calibrated to ensure optimal performance and sound quality. Cleaning & Polishing: The exterior of the amplifier is carefully cleaned and polished to restore its original luster. Rigorous Testing: Finally, the amplifier undergoes rigorous testing with a variety of music sources to ensure everything is working perfectly. “We don’t just replace parts,” emphasizes the team. “We go through everything, check everything, and make sure everything is performing to its full potential. We want these amps to sound as good – or even better – than they did when they were new.” Beyond Restoration: Upgrades for the Modern Audiophile While preserving the original character of the amplifier is paramount, AUTUS FORTUNA also offers a range of upgrades for those who want to push performance even further. These upgrades can include: Improved Power Supply Filtering: Adding additional filtering to the power supply to reduce noise and improve clarity. Phono Stage Upgrades: Improving the phono stage for better vinyl playback. Input/Output Modifications: Adding additional inputs or outputs to accommodate modern audio sources. Custom Wiring: Utilizing premium oxygen-free copper wiring for improved signal transfer. “We can tailor the upgrades to your specific needs and preferences,” says the spokesperson. “Whether you want a subtle improvement or a major overhaul, we can create a system that delivers the sound you’ve always dreamed of.” Why Choose an AUTUS FORTUNA Restored Sansui Amplifier?
