Atlas Unbound Brings Legendary Sansui Power Amplifiers Back to Life for Audiophiles

Maple Falls, WA – October 26, 2023 – Atlas Unbound LLC, a dedicated team of audio restoration and enhancement specialists based in Washington State, is thrilled to announce the availability of meticulously restored and upgraded Sansui power amplifiers. For decades, Sansui was the name in high-fidelity audio, and Atlas Unbound is making that golden era accessible again. Who is Atlas Unbound? We're a small but passionate bunch, based right here in Maple Falls. Think of us as audio archaeologists – we love digging into vintage gear, especially those iconic Sansui amps. But we’re not just collectors. We’re engineers, technicians, and true music lovers dedicated to bringing these classic amplifiers back to their original glory…and sometimes even beyond. Our address is 8288 Balfour Valley Ln, Maple Falls, WA, 98266-7070, and you can reach us at 662-239-1952 if you have any questions. Why Sansui? A Legacy of Sound Let's be real – a lot of modern audio feels…sterile. It's technically perfect, maybe, but it lacks soul. Sansui, especially from the 60s through the 80s, delivered a warm, rich, and incredibly dynamic sound that just doesn’t exist in much of today’s equipment. They built amps that weren’t just about pushing watts; they were about reproducing music as the artist intended. These aren’t your average amplifiers. Sansui's commitment to quality components and innovative design – think discrete transistor circuits, massive power supplies, and hand-wired construction – resulted in amps that were built to last and to sound phenomenal. Models like the AU-717, AU-999, and the legendary AU-X1 are highly sought after by audiophiles for their unique sonic signature and timeless design. But finding one in good working condition these days? That's the tricky part. The Atlas Unbound Difference: Restoration & Enhancement That's where we come in. We don’t just fix Sansui amplifiers; we revitalize them. Here's what sets Atlas Unbound apart: Sourcing: We meticulously source the best possible donor units. We're talking amps that are structurally sound, with minimal corrosion, and as many original parts as possible. Complete Disassembly & Cleaning: Every single component is removed, cleaned, and inspected. Years of dust, grime, and oxidation are removed, revealing the original craftsmanship. Component Replacement: Let's face it, even the best components age. We replace failing or degraded capacitors, resistors, diodes, and transistors with high-quality, modern equivalents that meet or exceed original specifications. We don't just slap in the cheapest parts; we use carefully selected components that maintain the original sonic character. Bias & Calibration: Proper bias and calibration are critical for optimal performance. We meticulously adjust each amplifier to ensure it’s delivering clean, accurate, and powerful sound. We use professional-grade equipment to guarantee precision. Optional Upgrades: Want to take your Sansui to the next level? We offer a range of optional upgrades, including: Improved Power Supplies: Upgrade the power supply capacitors for tighter bass, increased dynamics, and improved headroom. Signal Path Optimization: Replace critical signal path components with audiophile-grade parts for enhanced clarity and detail. Input/Output Modifications: Add modern inputs like RCA or XLR, or upgrade the speaker binding posts for better connectivity. Rigorous Testing: Before any amplifier leaves our shop, it undergoes rigorous testing with a variety of music genres and speaker systems. We ensure it meets our exacting standards for performance and reliability.
