From perhaps the best period in Sansui history, the TU-9900 is the tuner to have. This one isn't quite museum-grade, with some patina on the cover, and the period-correct GI etching on the back, but from a listening position, those fade. This piece is ideal for collectors looking to complete that Sansui stack without knocking over the piggy bank.

- Liner Notes
Sansui's AU/TU Series of stereo integrated amplifiers and stereo FM/AM tuners has received the highest praise, and has gathered the most devoted following of audiophiles, of any series of high fidelity components we have ever manufactured. Since its introduction more than a decade ago, the series has always represented not only the latest and most advanced technical developments and applications in the industry but also the finest in user-oriented conveniences, design, and innovations.
- Packing
- Prepare to be impressed. We have arguably the best packing process around. This piece will ship double-boxed, and fully insulated, taking extra care to ensure there's no pressure against the face. First, the component is first wrapped in 8mil plastic. Then, the unit is strapped to a plate inside an inner box to prevent shifting, and padded on all sides. We then suspend the inner box inside a double-walled outer box using shock-resistant foam corners.
- Shipping
- This piece ships to the contiguous United States for a flat rate of $75, which includes our packaging and our insurance. Of course, we'll ship anywhere in the world, just drop us a line and we'll give you an estimate – even if you're just curious.
