SANSUI SR-838
¥ 63,000 (around 1977)
Commentary
It uses a quartz servo system with a crystal oscillator circuit to realize extremely high precision rotation.
In addition, the operation mechanism is concentrated in the front, and usability is also emphasized.
By further improving mechanical and electrical accuracy, we have improved wow and flutter characteristics and SN ratio.
A mass concentrated tone arm with a reinforced fulcrum and a special cylinder for the rotating shaft is adopted.
Thick finish with piano finish.
