Picked up a nice little Denon DRA-325R receiver today for $20 at a GW I'd never been to. Pretty much mint condition. I was amazed to see the lady at this GW handling all the hi-fi gear with kid gloves, so unlike the other GW's I've been to. The Denon is missing the AM loop antenna, and the remote, neither of which is a necessity, but I'll be on the lookout for them.
Specs I was able to find say 40Wpc at decent distortion levels. The phono stage is considerably quieter than either my Realistic STA-2270 receiver or the Onkyo P-3160 preamp. Both of those had quite a bit of hum from my Pro-Ject Debut III TT, as well, which is practically non-existent with the Denon.
Was pleasantly surprised to find discrete output stage, and a fairly sophisticated heat-pipe setup (see pics). I attached a couple of pics from a current ebay listing, because they look so much better than the ones I took. This is a nice looking unit, much prettier in person than in the photos - the wife even commented on how nice it looks.
