Against the obvious alternative of buying a newer budget integrated, this is a strong deal at £235. It sits just above the comparable-listing 25th percentile of £234, but well below the £263 median and £302 75th percentile, so the price is firmly toward the attractive end of the market rather than merely fair.
The PMA-600NE is a particularly useful all-rounder: respectable 45W-per-channel output into 8 ohms, Bluetooth, optical and coaxial digital inputs, plus a built-in MM phono stage. It suits a modest modern stereo system without immediately requiring extra boxes, while its straightforward analogue inputs and subwoofer pre-out leave room to expand. With the condition described only as unknown, check that the remote is present, both channels are clean, Bluetooth and digital inputs work, and the phono stage is quiet—but at £235, a working example is a worthwhile buy.

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.
