Sansui SR-212 Turntable - China Crisis - Best kept secret

Sansui SR-212 Classic belt drive automatic-return turntable.
made of carefully chosen precision components, it has been designed with particular emphasis on ease of operation, reliability and tonal quality.

Among a multitude of features are a stable synchronous motor, full sized aluminium alloy die-cast platter, elaborate, statically balanced S-shaped tubular tonearm with skating force canceller, quality IM cartridge, gold plated connector terminal pins, multiple suspension/insulation system to eliminate howling, and much more.

Additionally there is a manual tonearm lifter that lets you lift or lower the tonearm at any desired point over the record, independently of the automatic mechanism.

I have one and its been great since new.

Where can I get a new belt for it?

[samplattsdisco]

Hiya - Ebay would be the best place to start.

[marcelcruzeiro]

Does it  have a removable headshell?

[samplattsdisco]

Yes it does.

[marcelcruzeiro]

Hi, do you experience any kind of distortion at the end of your lps with this turntable? I'm struggling with an old Garrard, it has a very bad sound at the end, so I saw a Sansui exactly like your for sale, I'm considering buying it...

[samplattsdisco]

These are a true hi fi bargain, lovely sound for the money. No distortion

[lexxdub004]

Beautiful turntable!

[Individuell83]

yes it really does.

I mean when we moved into our new appartment I wasn't allowed to take my old stereo with me and had a surroundsystem... well a surroundsystem is not meant to listen to music but I missed the full sounf of my jvc a-x50 and my sansui speakers

now I got them back and a jvc a-x4 amplfier it's a great sound =)

[BillieJean900]

do u have vinyl rip of this song as mp3?

[joey1127]

When you wanted something better than a Pioneer PL-15D and you knew the Marantz 6100 was just clunky, you went for the SR-212. What a GREAT table!

@marcelcruzeiro Try to align your cartridge. You can find protactors on vinylenginedotcom . If it does not help, maybe you need a new stylus...

[JohnnyFriendly]

@marcelcruzeiro Sounds like you have a mistracking problem. The solution could be just replacing the cartridge rather than getting a new TT. Also, try getting hold of HiFi News test LP. It will help you to diagnose the problem

@samplattsdisco

I found a site called LPGear. They have one for around $18.

Thanx
