Denon dra-25 - vintage jaren 80 kwaliteit versterker, met ingebouwde digital tuner (radio) - zeer goed geluid voor de liefhebber van vinyl is er phono mm aansluiting aan boord. Verkeert in nette techn
€66 is fair to slightly good for a DRA-25, landing close to the current used examples I found around €60–€62; it is not a steal, but it is priced in the right zone rather than being ambitious. With an original price of about 700 DM, this is one of those older Denons that still makes sense at the right money, so €66 looks reasonable if it’s complete and working properly.
What makes it worthwhile is the usual Denon strength of the era: solid stereo presentation, competent FM/AM reception, and an understated, no-nonsense build that still appeals to vintage hi-fi buyers. The upside here is mainly condition: if the front panel is clean, controls are quiet, and the unit has been tested, it’s an easy pick. If untested, I’d just want confirmation that both channels are clean and all inputs work before buying.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
