HI! I am new owner of SANSUI AU919. Amplifier sounds great, but I find that the output and driver transistors are not the same at both channel.I cant hear the difference, but I want to replace parts to original.Does anybody have service manual and how can I find original parts? THANKS!!

There's a Sansui forum at Audiokarma.org that's populated by real experts. They'll have the info you seek. BTW, since Sansui has been out of business for quite awhile, original parts will be pretty scarce. You can buy matched pairs of replacement transistors easily.

The Sansui AU-919 is a highly regarded vintage integrated amp. As mentioned above, there are experts to be found at the AudioKarma website. If the output transistors are different it indicates that at least one side was changed for a reason. NOS original parts are unobtainable but there are good replacements to be found. Be aware that counterfeit transistors are out there too so make sure to purchase from a reputable source. If I couldn't hear any difference between channels on a working AU-919 I would use it to rock the house! Enjoy!
