A notably capable, no-nonsense integrated rather than a merely basic budget amp, the Denon PMA-720 is listed at a strong price. At £141, it sits well below the comparable-listing median of £149 and comfortably above the £128 lower quartile, so this is fair-to-good value rather than a stretch. It would be especially attractive if tested and working properly.
Its appeal is the useful combination of substantial current delivery, clean low-distortion amplification, tone controls, headphone output and a built-in phono stage; the older version also supports MM/MC cartridges, making it unusually flexible for a vintage system. Around 80 watts per channel, it has enough authority for many sensible speaker pairings, while the direct mode suits purer two-channel listening. Check channel balance, scratchy controls, phono noise and whether the remote is included, but none is a reason to pass at this money.

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.
