Denon PMA-1520AE silver

The PMA-1520AE is of course equipped with the Advanced Ultra High Current (UHC) Push-Pull circuit with 2×140 W for transparent and detailed sound. Paired with the DCD-1520AE, it simply embodies the essence of high fidelity. The Precision Direct Mechanical Ground Construction completely eliminates vibrations, thus minimizing adverse influences on the output signal. The power transformer, an important source of vibration, has been “float” mounted using a variety of vibration-resistant materials and a stabilizing radiator.

It also has separate power supplies for the analog and digital circuits. A chassis construction with independent blocks and the high-quality volume control further suppress external noise and unwanted interference between parts. All the components involved have been rigorously selected to deliver the high sound quality for which Denon is renowned. The high-performance phono equalizer makes the PMA-1520AE the best choice for vinyl enthusiasts as well. Everything is protected by a thick aluminum front panel with the Denon logo engraved.
