Product Comparison

 

Export VS Japanese Product Lines

Until Professional and Definition Series, SANSUI used the same product names in both exporting and domestic market with a few exceptions, such as 1000A vs. SAX-1000.

After the introduction of the 07 Series in the late 1970's, SANSUI started producing international versions with few exceptions, such as AU-X1 lines and high end separates.

The following table is the product comparison as much as I could research and investigate on.  There is no official information available in related with this issue; therefore, I will appreciate any new findings and/or your opinions.
