SANSUI SD-7000

The Sansui SD 7000 4 Track Autoreverse Reel to Reel represents the advanced technology and design from 1971. If you compare this unit and its features to other decks build during this period of time, you will notice that the SD 7000 was avantgarde... Not only regarding its retail price! The reel motors were directly driven, the Autoreverse function initiated the "new listening comfort", "repeat" and "rewind" function gave this machine an aura of highest technological standard. The "Golden Years" of High Fidelity and Sansui were born. So it is even harder to understand, why Sansui did not continue to develop reel to reel´s. As far as I know, this was one of 2 decks they ever built. Now, it could be the "favourite toy" of every reel to reel collector´s playground. A real eycatcher you hardly see anywhere.
