According to our amplifier expert
Denon is determined to leave nothing to chance when it comes to the design of their stereo amplifiers. The PMA-520AE is modestly priced, but it's packed with advanced technologies. What about a gas-filled relay on the CD and phono inputs? All other components in the PMA-520AE are of high quality as well. The PMA-520AE is a wide-band amplifier (up to 100kHz) with plenty of power to control nearly all types of speakers. In addition, the PMA-520AE even has a phono amplifier for MM cartridges, so you can directly connect a turntable.

Only a record player (Technics SL1200) and 2 solid (B&W) bookshelf speakers are currently connected to this amplifier. I especially wanted to experience the warm sound of vinyl. And this sober but extremely stylish amplifier is excellent for this. Good power and no superfluous features. A no-nonsense device that offers quality for its money.
PS: super service from Coolblue in terms of shipping & packaging / communication. Recommended.

There were those who thought that for this amount there could be more meat, but then there were also others who were very surprised that I could have bought a Denon amplifier for such an amount. I personally don't know anything about amplifiers, so I did as I always do, read reviews on the coolblue site and compare them with reviews on the internet. No surprises, this amp really sounds great! I didn't even put really expensive speakers on it (a couple of Kenwood speakers). The sound is warm and full and 'complete', meaning that I now hear details in my music that I didn't hear before. I'm really looking forward to putting some good speakers on it! Another important point is that with this sound quality the volume does not have to be completely turned up because all the details seep through nicely...
Some more tidbits:
Conclusion: Perfect for someone who wants a little bit better than the average amp but doesn't know enough about the range, just wants good quality and no unnecessary extras.

The predecessor, a Denon from 30 years ago, had broken down. This descendant fits perfectly with the living Denon tuner and CD player. Price/quality optimal.
