At £75, this is a genuine bargain: it sits below the £78 25th-percentile mark from nine recent comparable listings, and well under the £83 median. That makes it keenly priced even with the condition listed as unknown, assuming the amplifier is complete and functional.
The PMA-6.5 is a compact, nicely built Denon integrated with useful MM phono, multiple line and tape inputs, remote capability, and roughly 40 watts per channel into 6 ohms. It should suit a modest system particularly well, offering plenty of flexibility without taking much shelf space. Ask for a power-up demonstration and check both channels, controls, phono input and speaker terminals; if those are sound, £75 leaves very little to complain about.

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.
