Sansui TU-X701 (c. 1988–1989)
Little is documented about the Sansui TU-X701. No production years, original price or design history have surfaced in the Archive's material. What survives is its appearance in late-Eighties tuner surveys. The fullest record is a listing in HiFI-Stereo (1989, p.88). It places the TU-X701 among current tuners with preset tuning, auto and manual tuning, IF-narrow and high-blend functions, 10-key random access to presets, auto-scan, automatic preset assignment, and an FM signal-strength display. The same listing specifies the FM section as follows:
- IHF sensitivity (stereo): 4.1 µV
- 50-dB quieting sensitivity (stereo): 34 µV
- THD (stereo): 0.08% at 1 kHz
- S/N (stereo): 70 dB
- Frequency response: 30–18,000 Hz ±2 dB
The Archive also holds tuner-survey pages from Audio dated October 1988 and October 1989 that were flagged for the TU-X701. Both are too garbled in the scan to extract anything further. Going by the survey dates, the model was evidently current around 1988-1989.
