Hi 2channel,
Well if you like the Sansui "house sound" I'd probably stay with the
Sansui. Quite a few folks I've corresponded with seem to think one or the other sounds "Better" with very few appreciating the strengths of each. I'm thinking that how the tuner interacts with the other components in the system pretty much dictates what "sounds better"
In specifically addressing each of your picks,
KT-615 Is nice and quiet, very stable over time probably due to the Pulse Count Detector. Probably a little leaner in sound than the Sansui's. The 615 doesn't have a buffer in the audio output so short cables are the order of the day for it to perform well. 1979 model year
TU-7500 Quite a bit older than the 615 1973 model and more prone to drifting out of alignment over time. Not as quiet as the 615 but will sound more in line with your 317.
If it were me and I was looking for an upgrade path in the Sansui line I would look for a TU-517. Its a well respected design, easy to mod, if you want and can be made to sound very, very good.
HA
