Sansui G-6000 (circa 1978–1979)

The Sansui G-6000 is an AM/FM stereo receiver from the late 1970s. It belongs to the company's G-series line of DC-coupled receivers. Sansui's own ad in High Fidelity (August 1978) called it a "DC receiver" with a patent-pending design. The design addressed the time-delay problem that causes transient intermodulation distortion (TIM). The ad also claimed total harmonic distortion of 0.03% at full rated power.

HI-FI STEREO BUYERS' GUIDE (1978, p.61) published a test report that confirmed the FTC rating of 65 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohms from 20 to 20,000 Hz. The reviewer singled out the AM tuner as "considerably better than average," which made the receiver a good fit for people who did a lot of AM listening. List price was $630.00 in a wood cabinet.

Beyond these period sources, detailed documentation on the G-6000 is sparse. It appears to have shared the DC receiver architecture and visual styling of the G-series, but specific production figures, revisions, and later service history remain unrecorded in accessible archives.
