Excellent and highly reviewed Denon PMA 2000R with remote control. This is a wonderful amp and was Stereophile Recommended Components list for years. Also many great consumer reviews can found on the audio reviews site. In great shape with one little ding on the top cover. Everything works perfectly. Includes a copy of the owners manual, detachable power cord, and the ORIGINAL remote which is almost always missing with these. Very heavy but will be packed well and insured. Check my feedback, I also have the matching TU1500 RDS tuner for sale. Asking $475 Thanks,Keith

    If I remember right these have a pretty nice moving coil/moving magnet phono preamp built in too. I'm not in the market for one now, but good luck with the sale.

    That's a very nice integrated amplifier.

    Not to thread jack, but the unit is the 2000R. The manual is the 2000IVR.

    I have one of these and totally pleased with the sound and build quality. Take a look at the inside of this beast...

    I owned the mono block versions as well and they're quite robust for the time.

    Doro,

    Which mono block you owned? The 6600(a) or 4400 or 8000 or S1?

    Denon makes some real nice amps and Denon bass is unparalleled even when put up against the Big Boys.

    If i don't have Pioneer A-91D, I would take a Denon Integrated in a heartbeat.

    Good Luck with the sales.
    Trying out Different Audio Cables is a Religious Affair. You don't discuss it with anyone. :redface::biggrin:

    Money issues are non stop I get something then have to get rid of it. it is a great amp. The only negative is exactly what I remember from 8 years ago when i listened to one and what Stereophile said about it. It can come off as alittle uninvolving and rolled off. It has a dynamic sound but sounds rounded off so it seems slighlty soft. Not very immediate. Huge stage and never harsh.
