Review on Denon PMA-800NE Hi-Fi Stereo Integrated Amplifier, 85W x 2 Channels, Built-In Phono Pre-Amp, Analog Mode, Advanced High Current Power, Black by Terrance Castle

In the world of multi-channel AV receivers, soundbars, wireless speakers and music streaming, it's good to know that some manufacturers still cater to us old-school audio boys, who think it is The best way to listen to music is with a high-quality 2-channel stereo system. The build quality of this amp is excellent. High quality inside and out. The handles feel high quality. Love the vintage layout and look and the aluminum faceplate. Simple, no-frills controls. Motorized volume control. Not sure why they made the input selector yellow when all other LEDs are green. Inside you'll find a heavy, high-quality transformer and power supply. I was happy to see that all capacitors are ELNA. The sound is detailed and warm. As expected, the more I use it the better. Basically, if you like high-quality vintage devices, you will love this amp. It's built like they did before. The optical inputs and DAC are ideal for streaming music from a Bluetooth adapter with an optical output. The remote works well but is very light and feels cheap. Overall I am very impressed with this price. Come in, you won't be disappointed.
