Marantz has come a long way since Saul Marantz started building audio products in his Kew Gardens, New York, basement. The latest twist in the story is the reinvention of D&M Holdings—that's D for Denon and M for Marantz—into D+M Group. In addition to...

What I like most about this unit is both the pretty solid preamps and the SaffireControl software. The preamps are much better than the Presonus Firebox I first started off with. They are very qu...

Bought to replace my old World Band Radio. Well made and it tunes beautifully, especially on FM, I can listen now to local stations I was unable to find on my other radios.

this is a marvelous little thing. it's not hi-fi but it takes the audio out from my dvd player and gives a very good width and depth of sound. only one in-put and no tone controls but only 3 inches by four. the sound is clear with no harsh edges.

Fantastic computer DJ system (for the price) only downside is that you can only load tracks from your computer onto each deck, not from the iPod. The only iPod control is the volume.

Bought this to replace a dead ARCAM , I thought I would upgrade from my intended AM1 - to an AM5 definitely worth it, only £20 extra . Really clean sound shows how past it the old Arcam was. Very pleased as it does what it says.

A fine, capable preamp that communicates plenty of information but might not stir the soul

Above all, this is the most reliable amp I have ever owned. I have changed the tubes once in twelve years, which is insane. It has never not worked, never had a hint of an issue, nothing. Just a to...

Very nice sound, comes through clear with my polk audio speakers. Checking the specs on the device, it has a lower harmonic distortion rate than mostly any other receiver I can find on this site, especially considering the price. For the price I paid,...

Overall, this is a good choice in a cool practice amp. This gets louder than comparable models from Line 6 or Fender, and it has a much nicer look. However, that look does come with a price premium...

I did a lot of research on home theatres systems. This seems the best value for the price. I use it for PS3/Wii/Rogers Cable and hooked Samsung Speakers with a 350 infinity sub and works great. The only drawback is the TV setup screen is only available...

This baby rocks so hard. Came with everything I needed except for the wire cutter. Good build quality! I also like that you have the option of installing it into your PC's media bay.

I don't know if I'm in love with this amp, but I'm sure some people will be satisfied. People who just like to play and aren't completely anal about their tone will find much to like. Again, it's r...

Purchased this receiver new in 1984 and used continuously since then. Sonically quite neutral, even delivery from highs to lows, plenty powerful when paired with efficient speakers. Still is completely reliable, Only work ever needed was to clean...

My only complaint is that the master volume control seems to have 80% of the gain between 8 and 10 o'clock on the control. Not much gain is available after the 10 o'clock position. It should be mor...

Now I am an example of that most unfortunate type of fellow, an audiophile on a budget. I actually got this amp for free from a customer of my computer repair business who was moving out of state and didn't want to ship this and some other audio...
