Sansui say….
As an audio-only specialist, Sansui is recognized worldwide for the unsurpassed quality of its products, be they turntables, stereo receivers, speaker system or headphone sets, and takes the greatest measures to merit and maintain this reputation.
The SR-2050C is no exception. We have not overlooked a single detail in bringing it to you in perfect operating condition.
This striking model is strictly for the purist looking for the simplicity and accuracy of a manual turntable with the basic convenience of an automatic. Incorporating two of Sansui's latest engineering breakthroughs - Auto Lift/Stop mechanisms - the SR-2050C substantially adds to the convenience of the manual turntable without sacrificing any of its accuracy. Like most automatics, the SR-2050C's tonearm automatically lifts from the final groove of the record in play. But unlike conventional automatics which take advantage of increasing end of play tonearm speed to trigger the lifting device, the SR-2050C's Auto lift mechanism is entirely electrical and is set in motion by a special detector circuit which activates a relay/solenoid control system. Its advantages are considerable. There is absolutely no danger to valuable records or stylus due to undesirable side pressure caused by pulling. The lightest tracking cartridges can be used since the tonearm does not activate the lifting mechanism, and there are no devices used that could deteriorate the performance of the tonearm. The Auto Stop mechanism in the SR-2050C automatically stops the platter as soon as the tonearm is lifted from the record. Basic motions, such as precision belt-drive, speed selection and hydraulic cuing are identical to those in professional manual turntables. Complete with statically balanced tonearm, easy to-use controls, anti-howling insulators and encased in handsome walnut. the Automanual SR-2050C represents one of the finest stereo investments available today. As the SR-2050C, it is complete with cartridge.
