The amplifier is in good condition all around, has been serviced, tested, cleaned. The case is in Very good shape too.It runs on 100V power as original domestic Japanese model, but I can supply the power converter to it.Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
A classic, straightforward integrated amp like this is notable for doing the basics right: clean power, solid phono-era pedigree, and a reputation for musical, no-nonsense sound. At US$674, the asking price sits above the recent median of US$599 and even above the 75th percentile of US$618, so it reads as ambitious rather than a bargain.
That doesn’t make it a bad buy if the unit is clean, fully original, and serviced. The upside here is owning a well-regarded Denon with good day-to-day usability and enough vintage charm to be satisfying without being fussy. I’d only press harder on condition, control wear, and proof of proper operation at this level, because the premium needs to be earned by presentation and care.

Denon traces its origins to 1910, when American entrepreneur Frederick Whitney Horn founded Japan's first audio equipment company, Nipponophone, initially focused on gramophones and records. The Denon brand emerged in 1939 from the merger of Japan Denki Onkyo—combining "den" for electricity and "on" for sound—with other entities, marking a shift toward professional audio development. This heritage includes pioneering Japan's first professional disc recorder in 1945, used to capture Emperor Hirohito's voice, and launching the nation's first long-playing records in 1951.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of hi-fi categories, from amplifiers, turntables, and tuners to loudspeakers, cassette decks, and phono cartridges. Denon's innovations extend to digital frontiers, such as the world's first practical PCM recorder in the early 1970s, the inaugural CD player in 1981, and early home theater systems with Dolby Digital in 1995. Today, its lineup encompasses AV receivers, headphones, wireless streaming solutions like HEOS, and high-channel processors, blending professional-grade components with consumer accessibility.
Denon holds a commanding position as a mid-to-high-end mainstay in the hi-fi market, revered for its blend of technological firsts, robust build quality, and balanced sound signatures that appeal to discerning enthusiasts. No longer a vintage collector's niche, it competes confidently against premium rivals, backed by over a century of audio leadership and strategic partnerships like its merger with Marantz.
