Based right here in Maple Falls, Washington, we’re not just selling amps – we’re delivering a slice of audio history, reborn for the modern listener. Who is Atlas Unbound? We’re a small team, obsessed with sound. Atlas Unbound started as a passion project, a group of friends who couldn’t find the quality and care they wanted when it came to vintage audio. We’re not a huge corporation – you’ll likely be speaking directly to someone who’s personally worked on your amplifier. We’re located at 8288 Balfour Valley Ln, Maple Falls, WA, 98266-7070, and you can reach us at 662-239-1952. We focus on bringing exceptional vintage audio back to life, with a commitment to both authenticity and modern performance. We believe great sound shouldn't be a thing of the past. Why Sansui? A Legacy of Audio Excellence Sansui. Just the name conjures up images of legendary audio equipment. Back in the golden age of hi-fi (think the 70s and 80s), Sansui was the name in power amplifiers. They weren’t just building amps, they were crafting sonic experiences. Known for their robust build quality, innovative designs, and a warm, natural sound signature, Sansui amplifiers quickly became a favorite amongst audiophiles. They built gear that lasted. And a lot of it still sounds incredible today – if it’s been properly cared for. But that's the catch, isn't it? Decades of use can take their toll. Original components age, capacitors dry out, and performance degrades. That's where Atlas Unbound comes in. Atlas Unbound’s Approach: Restoring, Enhancing, and Delivering Sonic Bliss We don’t just fix vintage Sansui amplifiers. We revive them. Each amplifier undergoes a rigorous, multi-stage restoration process. We’re talking about: Complete Disassembly: Every single component is carefully removed and inspected. Detailed Cleaning: Years of dust and grime are removed, ensuring optimal performance and preventing future issues. Component Replacement: Aging or failing components – especially electrolytic capacitors – are replaced with high-quality, modern equivalents. We prioritize components that maintain the original sonic character while improving reliability. We don't just swap in whatever's cheapest! Calibration & Testing: Each amplifier is meticulously calibrated and tested to ensure it meets or exceeds original specifications. We use state-of-the-art equipment to verify performance. Bias Adjustment: Precise bias adjustment is crucial for optimal sound quality and longevity. Thorough Quality Control: Before an amplifier leaves our workshop, it undergoes a final inspection to guarantee it meets our exacting standards. What Sansui Power Amplifiers Does Atlas Unbound Offer?
