This just arrived from Germany, bought a few days ago because I was bored and thinking I'll never find a Mark 2. This will perhaps do in the meantime.
I don't really need it ( isn't that always the case ) as I already own a Herron Audio VTSP-2a Pre amp and Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Power amp, but with my Technics SP10 Turntable (1975/81) and Tannoy Berkeley speakers (1974/79) I thought it might be cool to go full retro and try an amp from the same era.
Denon PMA-850 (1978/79)

Been running nicely for the last couple of hours and sounding very nice indeed. Will it usurp my main pre/power combo, I doubt it, however off I hadn't heard them, this would do very nicely indeed.
Ok it needs a good internal clean and I'd like to have it serviced.
A bargain at the price I paid but I'm even more keen to find a Mark 2 now.
