The Sansui twins (a CD player and a network player) have always been a favourite of ours for two distinct reasons:
- Their prices
- Their quality, far exceeding the price
The build quality of each is excellent, and the finish is sublime. It’s not just silver, it’s brushed silver which you can see on the display close up above, and is laden with features you would usually only see on models double (and then some) the price.
If you’re minus a CD player and/or a network player or you’re looking for a change (or perhaps an upgrade depending on your existing system) the Sansuis are worth a look. So let’s take one…
Sansui WLD 201 Network Player
A network player is nothing short of a necessary item these days. A world of music at the tips of your fingers! they often come at a price, but this is a very modest £165 so it’s a great way of breaking in. It has an excellent build, finish and is very easy to use. Best of all, it sounds fantastic.
Here’s what you get for your £165:
– Over 16,000 stations internet radio broadcast
– Live Internet radio broadcasts and “listen again” on-demand content
– Music streaming with playlist capability
– Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) & Ethernet Connection with Push Button WPS security for hassle free setup.
– FLAC upto 48/24, WAV, AAC/AAC+, MP3, Real- Audio, WMA (DRM) Supported

… and also, a remote control.

Sansui CDD 201 CD Player
If you would prefer a simple CD player (but not just any CD player) then here’s one you can get for less than £100, that will perform and sound like a unit double the price. The components are specially selected, and it’s engineered to a very high standard.
Here’s what you get for £99:
– Plays CD, CD-R/W, CD-R-, CD-R+
– Decodes MP3 and WMA files copied to CD-R
– Specially chosen capacitors and other passive components with close tolerances for critical circuits
– Forward reverse skip and search function
– Informative VFD display gives complete information about tracks and time
– Matches the SAP-201V amplifier
– COAX and Optical digital outputs
– RCA stereo output connector
… and yes, a remote control. it sounds good, it looks good and it will barely make a dent in the bank balance. There’s a lot to like!
I have mentioned a few times that these are units worth twice their price. Well, that’s because they literally are. The low prices are due to our very own 50% discount! The network player is usually worth £349 (as opposed to our price of £165) and the CD player is worth £199 (over £99). That’s why they look, act and sound so much better than their prices. They’re a UK exclusive, so we can charge whatever we want for them.
We made them a UK exclusive for a very good reason, that reason being we wanted high-quality hi-fi at a reasonable price to be available to everyone. So we found the best quality models at the best prices, bought them all and halved them. Half price, high quality hi-fi. They are good apart, but even better together. And thanks to the uber-low price, it’s possible to have them both at the same time.
