Sansui SR-717
Direct Drive Electronic Transcription Turntable
Description
Sansui has engineered this direct drive transcription turntable with particular attention to three key qualities; precision, stability and durability.
When it comes to performance, vibrations you can't hear can, indeed, be extremely harmful to faithful reproduction of musical timbre and nuances.
The Sansui SR-717 protects you from all motor vibration by driving the high inertia platter directly with a DC servomotor with it's own solid-state electronic control system.
The S-shaped tonearm with friction-free Sansui support reduces all tracing distortion.
And the no-howl cabinet does away with resonance.
Sansui uses super-hardened steel alloy and other advanced materials throughout to ensure impressive performance over long use.
When you listen to the SR717, all you will hear is what is on the record, not under it.

Sansui SR 717 Bias weights
Submitted on March 17th, 2010 by joemoparHi Guys Looking at these posts from a year ago, some of you had the same problem as I have now. I have no lateral or vertical weights for my recently purchased 717. Can someone tell me how much each weighs and how to set them up? I will make my own. Thanks.

Please let me know your Email-address, I will send you the service manual (please take care, it's a 10 MB pdf-file). I made my own weights, the bias weight is finished already (2 gram), the lateral weight I will do in the next days (the lateral weight seems not to be critical if you use your TT without it, I got this info in several forums).

Submitted on April 18th, 2009 by wigedoutI have lateral weight but have no way 2 weigh it...best I can do is go to post office & weigh for you.I set mine about 1/4" from end of rod also I am running a Shure M97XE cart.My vertical weighs 2 grams & have set on 1st notch but to my understanding lateral is not that important its the vertical that is the most critical.Cart. weight is what affects set up but to my understanding if you set top of weight about a 1/4" below bottom of tone arm is pretty close.I will go weigh lateral for you if u want also can give you length & diameter so you could make one if you like.I've got mine dialed in pretty good & it sounds terrific.So let me no what I can do for you.Also do you have part # for table foot? my email is {mcclimans6803@aol.com}

Submitted on April 18th, 2009 by vercingetorixHi wigedout,
I sent you the service manual and the engine_brochure by Email, I guess you got it already. You are right, the vertical weight is critical (anti skate). I purchased a similar weight, it weighs 3.8 gram so I have to reduce it on 2 gram. I use an Ortofon VinylMaster Red cart with 1.5 gram tracking force. Furthermore I purchased a test record LP from image hifi, there are several tests on this vinyl such as channel identification, phase test , cross talk test, tonearm-cartridge resonance test and the tracking ability test (for anti skate). Could you please provide me details for the lateral balance weight (lenght and diameter and if possible approx. how many grams).
For table foot I suggest to purchase new ones (spikes).
