Verkaufe meinen treuen Denon Retro-Verstärker. Funktioniert super, hat nur ab und zu leichtes Potentiometer-Kratzen bei Kanalumstellung. Hatte ich aber schonmal vor 10 Jahren und konnte ich super mit Kontaktspray beheben. Gebe euch gern was dazu. Dazu gibt‘s wenn ihr wollt einen Analog/Digital-Wandler

The €70 asking price for the Denon PMA-860 is a genuine bargain, sitting well below the 25th percentile of €135 and far under the median of €198 for this model. This is a standout deal in the current used market, offering significant value for an amplifier that typically trades between €135 and €262. For a budget-conscious buyer, this timing is ideal, as the PMA-860 represents a robust, older-generation Denon unit that still delivers credible performance despite being replaced by modern Class-D alternatives.
The PMA-860 is well-regarded for its solid power delivery (80Wpc) and durability, making it a worthwhile buy for those seeking reliable analog amplification without paying for new tech. Its ability to seamlessly pair with standard CD players and major brands adds meaningful upside, especially if the listing includes original accessories or comes from an original owner. At this price, it is a clear buying opportunity rather than a risk, assuming the condition is sound and no critical accessories are missing.

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.
