About this deal

This Denon disc player may look ordinary on the outside, but its inner workings are anything but. Denon’s engineers designed the circuit to operate with a frequency response of up to 100kHz. Improvements were made to the electrical transformer. The audio and control circuits are separated by a coil of wire. Moreover, it has a Stop Mode on its internal microprocessor.

The control knobs for the EQ function are strategically placed at the bottom of the front panel. These will give you everything you need in terms of setting your sounds right. PA20, PA21, PA22, PA23, PA24, PA25, PA26, PA27, PA28, PA29, PA30, PA31, PA32, PA33, PA34, PA35, PA36, PA37, PA38, PA39, PA40, PA41, PA42, PA43, PA44, PA45, PA46, PA47, PA48, PA49, PA50, PA51, PA52, PA53, PA54, PA55, PA56, PA57, PA58, PA59, PA60, PA61, PA62, PA63, PA64, PA65, PA66, PA67, PA68, PA69, PA70, PA71, PA72, PA73, PA74, PA75, PA76, PA77, PA78, PA79, PA80If you are looking for more features and something more substantial, this is not the best stereo amplifier for you. But for those who just want some good sound, your search may end here. To add to Denon’s mission for greater fidelity, the DCD-600NE’s circuit design has been engineered to make signal paths as short as possible to reduce interference between the left and right channels. The effect is a cleaner audio signal that, according to Denon, is still faithful to the original recording. One reason for this slightly changed character is a personnel shift at Denon, as Tagauchi-san is now responsible for the musical tuning of the components, who places particular emphasis on liveliness and spaciousness. Of course this is not a break with tradition let alone a paradigm shift in terms of sound tuning as he has already worked on earlier models. This guarantees the perfect combination of the tried and tested with the new, and manifests itself merely through slight naunces in a long-proven sound tuning, particulary with a slightly more physical and powerful and possibly a trace darker timbre while retaining high transparency. Well done!

The design is one of the best I have ever seen and used. The rounded edge on the front panel makes it look like a professional high-end product. The Denon PMA-600NE is a high-quality audio system that looks and feels like it was made with care. Its years of development have resulted in a sleek, contemporary design and exceptional sound quality. Of course, the 800 series from the same manufacturer is yet a bit better, so it is worth considering maybe saving one or two hundred Euros more. Nevertheless, this is powerful competition from within the company with an outstanding value for money and probably many years of musical fun for the buyer in both cases. There is also the 800 network player and the matching DP-400 Denon turntable, which could also be used to complement the 600 system immediately or later.Bluetooth support: With an antenna inside the unit, actively pair your smart phone to the PMA-600NE via Bluetooth to stream music

Analog Mode allows the PMA-600NE to operate as a purely analogue amp, disabling digital inputs as well as Bluetooth while you listen to an analogue source. Turn on Analog Mode to close power to the dedicated digital power source and stop operation of the digital input and Bluetooth circuity, avoiding any high frequency influence on the analogue section of the PMA-600NE. Enjoy your favourite analogue sources with uninhibited clarity and detailed reproduction. In the end I was reminded of the extraordinary processes of experimentation which sound specialists have to go through in dealing with acoustics in certain concert halls! After hours of experimentation I proved to myself that there's nothing wrong with either of my two sets of speakers, nor the amp, nor the wiring.

The Denon PMA-600NE is an affordable high quality integrated amp with a slim design and can power a wide range of speakers and produce audio with high-quality sound. It can easily power your loudspeakers to deliver 70W of power per channel and it features an analog mode that allows you to operate the amp as a purely analog amp and this disables digital input and Bluetooth circuitry preventing any high-frequency interference with the analog mode. The PMA-600NE includes state-of-the-art components and innovative features. The amp has a 45 watt RMS power rating and employs a single push-pull circuit based on Denon’s Advanced High Current (AHC) technology to provide a strong and precise sound. The AHC hardware was developed to enhance transient sensitivity and lessen distortion for a more authentic sound. An integrated amplifier for entry-level equipment is provided by Denon in the form of the PMA-600NE. It has just been released and is current with everything else that the company has to offer at this time. If you want something that has more features and is heavier, a better choice than this stereo amplifier would be one that has more bells and whistles. Yet, if all you require is great audio, your search may be ended at this point. I had used an entry-level amplifier before upgrading to a more advanced option. But sometimes I just want something simple but effective. After all, it is the only sound that matters. And I find the Denon PMA-600NE incredibly useful.

For even purer sound, you can switch off the digital circuits. When using an analogue source, such as your turntable, simply switch to Analogue mode and enjoy reduced distortion and the most realistic sound from your music. Many types of amplifiers are available. As a newbie, you may feel confused by all the options available to you. The following are some suggestions to think about: We do provide installation options for built-in appliances providing it is simply a case of fitting the appliance and furniture doors. Any additional work to the kitchen units or carpentry work required will need to be completed at the customer’s expense.The company brings out a powerful competition in a market that is already crowded with different products. Over part of the grille on the top of the amp there's a rigid, clear, plastic sheet which has ventilation holes in it which are aligned perfectly with the ventilation holes of the grille (in the metal case of the top of the amp). This plastic sheet (about six inches by three inches in size) is attached to the top of the amp by four plastic clips which have been clipped to four of the holes of the grille in the metal case of the amp. It would not be easy to remove this plastic sheet, so I assume that it is not to be removed. What is the purpose of this plastic sheet, please? Yes, "Al ears", the balance between the speakers worked as it should with the previous amp's Balance Control. Borrowing from the 800NE has also shortened the signal paths in the unit and improved the mechanical design with regard to low resonance/vibration dissipation. This includes the significantly improved feet that have been adopted from the larger siblings. Also several components are now of a higher quality. For example the unbranded electrolytic capacitors and other components in the 520AE have here been replaced with higher quality ones from ELNA, Nichicon, Rubycon and others. According to Denon, this is where the increased liveliness, dynamics and the even more powerful "punch" comes from. Our Installation Service only includes connecting to existing points and fixings. This does not include installing or moving plumbing, connection points or electrics. Installing new points or moving existing points is the customer’s responsibility we can recommend local tradesmen however this will be at the customer’s expense and we not accept any liability for their work.
