About the PMA-1080R

The Denon PMA-1080R is an integrated stereo amplifier produced between 1992 and 1994 in Japan. It delivers 105 watts per channel into 8 ohms in a Class A all-analog design, making it highly suitable for audiophiles and turntable users. It features a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz and a very low total harmonic distortion of 0.004%, ensuring clean and accurate sound reproduction. The amplifier includes a high-quality phono stage with input sensitivities of 0.2mV for MC cartridges and 2.5mV for MM cartridges, as well as 150mV for line inputs. Signal-to-noise ratios are 76dB (MC), 94dB (MM), and 110dB (line), contributing to its clarity and low noise floor. It supports two speaker systems (A and B) and comes with a remote control (model RC-151). The unit measures 434 x 160 x 396 mm and weighs 10.7 kg. It is known for its superb build quality, reliability, and ability to drive inefficient speakers with ease. The amplifier was originally priced around 1000 DM and remains a sought-after classic for value-conscious audiophiles.
