AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Up for auction, a legendary pairing that represents the pinnacle of the Japanese Hi‑Fi 'Golden Era' (1983–1985): the Denon POA-1500 power amplifier and its dedicated preamplifier, the Denon PRA-1000.

This set is a true collector's item, characterized by the iconic champagne-colored brushed aluminum finish and the exquisite glossy Rosewood side panels.

Main features

Power amplifier POA-1500: a power of 150W + 150W into 8 ohms. Famous for its spectacular oversized analog VU meters and the "Non-NFB" circuitry that guarantees a pure, fast, and dynamic sound.

Preamplifier PRA-1000: Designed for maximum fidelity, it includes a high-quality Phono stage (MM/MC).

Conditions: Excellent. The wooden panels are glossy and free of significant damage, the front panels are clean, and the VU-meter illumination is functioning perfectly.

Voltage: European original versions at 220V/50Hz (external transformers are not required).

Technical Specifications

Power: 150 watts per channel (8Ω)

Total Harmonic Distortion: 0.002%

Frequency response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz (Final) / 10 Hz - 100 kHz (Pre)

Total Net Weight: 26 kg

Shipping note: Given the delicacy of the glass and wood, and the considerable weight (over 30 kg with packaging), the set will be shipped in two separate packages and reinforced with specific materials to ensure maximum protection.
