Denon Amplifier reviews

Denon PMA-1510AE Amplifier
Denon PMA-1510AE Amplifier

Denon PMA-1510AE is projected by principle of "double mono", that means that every channel is powered from own transformer with EI-shaped core, and both of them are situated in the isolated cell of massive body. The engineers of Denon used the original circuit technique of output cascades, patented...
Denon PMA-2000AE Amplifier
Denon PMA-2000AE Amplifier

Judging by the index, this model, although it is only a step above the recently tested amplifier PMA-1500AE, but if we focus on the dimensional and weight indicators of the novelty, there is no doubt that the "two thousandth" is another step up. Extremely solid and weighty device! And if you take into...
Denon PMA-250SE Amplifier
Denon PMA-250SE Amplifier

Amplifiers of this company are famous for their neutral sound character without audible coloration and good transfer of the dynamics of musical works. For particularly demanding audiophiles, the company produces improved versions of its serial models, which differ from the basic model mainly by the use...
Denon PMA-255UK Amplifier
Denon PMA-255UK Amplifier

Amplifiers don't come much more straightforward looking than this. The front panel is home to a volume control, bass and treble controls, a source direct switch, a balance control and an input select rotary for the five inputs, all of which are at line sensitivity, and one of which is a tape circuit....
Denon PMA-350II Amplifier
Denon PMA-350II Amplifier

If you haven't noticed how competitive the market for budget amplifiers is, then you're out of touch. Simple as that. Yet according to Denon's market research, many of those budget wonders are out of touch with what users really want. Facilities don't always go amiss. So the thinking behind the PMA-350/II...
Denon PMA-350SE Amplifier
Denon PMA-350SE Amplifier

Who doesn't dream about an amplifier? Truly, ones want to have complete set of regulations, the others are ready to endow with everything if it allows making the sound a bit better. For example, an equalizer at middle position of regulators doesn't change the amplitude-frequency characteristic, but the...
Denon PMA-500AE Amplifier
Denon PMA-500AE Amplifier

I wonder if add an extra zero on the price tag of PMA-500AE will buyers notice the trick? Nowadays certainly they will. But five-ten years ago, when all low-budget "hi-fi" looked like some black mass, I'm sure many would think that such nice and elegant amplifier should cost so much. The design of amplifier,...
Denon PMA-525R Amplifier
Denon PMA-525R Amplifier

Smooth adjustment of loudness is implemented in Denon PMA-525R. When "SOURCE DIRECT" button is on, it turns off as well as controls of balance and timbre. By the way, about timbres. The results of measurements showed that this device has absolutely equal rise and slope - 9 dB in basses and tops that...
Denon PMA-655R Amplifier
Denon PMA-655R Amplifier

The whole amplifier - the front panel, handles and the cover of the body - is made in the same golden color. Denon PMA-655R looks respectable and will fit into any interior, moreover will become its decoration. The peculiarity of the circuit-making solution is two transformers: a large one that provides...
Denon PMA-700AE Amplifier
Denon PMA-700AE Amplifier

"700th" causes only respect. The device is made in the best traditions of the brand - you can't fault it. Everything that we get used to see in electronics with mark "Made in Japan" is in this device. Profiled front panel made of aluminum is paved with handles of different sizes, which rotate gently,...
Denon PMA-710AE Amplifier
Denon PMA-710AE Amplifier

Denon PMA-710AE has replaced quite successful PMA-700AE. The amplifier almost hasn't been changed externally and can be easily confused with its predecessor. Well, the design of the novelty is tested by time: a large transformer with separate windings for control circuits and audio path, qualitative...
Denon PMA-725R Amplifier
Denon PMA-725R Amplifier

This device with typically Japanese design has almost all set of functions, which are necessary for qualitative sound and copying the recordings. Existing record selector allows easy connecting to any of two tape recorders with through path (one of them can be DAT) of four signal sources and copying...
Denon PMA-735R Amplifier
Denon PMA-735R Amplifier

The PMA-735R incorporates at least two proprietary design features that Denon places particular emphasis on. First, there are the original high-current output transistors in the power amplifier, which provide twice the output current at signal peaks. And secondly, the obligatory presence of two power...
Denon PMA-737 Amplifier
Denon PMA-737 Amplifier

The PMA-737 has a domestically more than adequate power rating of 55 watts-per-channel into 8 ohms, and versatile facilities. Thus there are no fewer than six source selector keys: tape 1 and 2, tuner, video/aux, DAD (CD player) and phono, this last being switchable for moving-magnet or moving-coil cartridge....
Denon PMA-925R Amplifier
Denon PMA-925R Amplifier

Full amplifier Denon PMA-925R is very similar to PMA-525R and PMA-725R. Of course, model with greater sizes has also better properties besides PMA-525R height is significantly greater than junior models have. Huge massive body is pretty old fashioned and looks like typical Japanese amplifier with big...
Denon POA-4400 Amplifier
Denon POA-4400 Amplifier

Denon make two single-channel (monophonic) power amplifiers which, price apart, basically differ in the number of paralleled output transistors employed and therefore in output power. This report refers to the lesser of the two, although in this regard lesser is a relative term and perhaps not entirely...
Denon PRA-S10/POA 3200 Amplifier
Denon PRA-S10/POA 3200 Amplifier

This luxurious Japanese amplifier can be related to the category of "ultra-hard Hi-Fi" by both the price and massive-size characteristics. Since people always meet on clothes, exactly this amplifier made an impression (very positive!) on the experts. In actual fact you see metallic boxes (very big and...
