Marantz PM8005 integrated amp

Further Information: 

Marantz PM8005 integrated amplifier with phono pre.

Amazing sounding amp - I was really surprised when I up graded to this from my Marantz PM5004. Yes, the 8005 was three times the price, but still I didn't expect quite so dramatic an improvement. Even significantly better than my PM7004 Ken Ishiwata special edition.

You are welcome to try it out in Frankston, or collect it (without audition) in Melbourne CBD. Could probably deliver between Mornington and Melbourne. Includes the remote, but I forgot to take a photo.

Details:

Marantz PM8005 Integrated Stereo Amplifier, fully discrete current feedback integrated amplifier is perfect for audiophiles wanting both excellent music quality and flexible operation.

It offers a powerful 2 x 70 Watts into 8 Ω, while the symmetrical circuits ensure perfect image balancing. To guarantee a totally unique audio experience, Marantz designers have shaped and optimised the power handling characteristics and redesigned the large double shielded Toroidal transformer’s circuitry to optimise bandwidth power. The result is a current feedback amplifier with a massive energy reserve to drive even the most demanding of speakers with absolute ease. To further guarantee best sound quality, the PM8005 has current feedback HDAMs, as well as a triple-layer bottom plate to help eliminate vibration. The PM8005 also provides source-direct mode for the purest audio signal and Phono MM to enjoy your vinyls. It’s heaven.
