Denon PMA-980R

[PabloTincho]

I am able to get a Denon Model PMA-980R, good condition for $30, I dont know anything about power amps should I get it ?
Is Denon Model PMA-980R top quality ?

You will pretty much be stealing it at that price if it works, I’d run quickly to grab it. I used to have it and it is a very nice sounding unit. I ended up selling because I just have too much stuff, but I know I got more than a couple hundred for it, easily.

Does the denon has a preamp inside, or i also need to get a preamp ?

It is an integrated amplifier, so it has a preamp and power amp in one case. All you need is a source and a pair of speakers. What speakers are you running?

Those are some great specs. I'd be curious at that price.

here is a link to the fix for this problem if you have issues.
