Marantz PM5004 review
Integrated amplifiers are the best choice for anyone looking for superb
performance without the complexity or cost of a comparable receiver or
preamplifier/power amplifier combination. Their minimalist design (no
tuner, no fancy processing) means that the engineering team concentrates on
the essentials that directly contribute to better sound. So, depending on
your point of view, you either get a lot more than you paid for or spent a
lot less than you thought you would. That sounds like a "win-win"
situation to us. And the PM5004 will sound even better to you. Current
Feedback Amplifier The PM5004 features current feedback design. This
extraordinary circuit accurately tracks quickly changing, wide bandwidth
musical signals for greater resolution of fine musical detail. The
amplifiers themselves are custom-designed entirely with discrete components
so you don’t suffer any of the built-in limitations of off-the-shelf
integrated circuits.A Variety of High Quality Connections Attention to
detail is the order of the day: each of the five line level inputs and the
phono input feed a buffer circuit that minimizes any interaction between
the source and the PM5004, and there’s a Source Direct switch so you
can bypass tone and balance controls for the shortest signal path from
input to output. Want to record your favorite sources? Just connect the
recording device of your choice to the Record Out jacks and begin!
Connecting speakers is easy, too. New Marantz-designed loudspeaker
terminals are easy to use and let you see if there are any problems with
your wiring.Whole-House Possibilities For the ultimate in custom install
flexibility, three built-in remote control command sets enable as many as
three PM5004s to be used in a single system. A separate IR flasher input
and detachable AC cord allow easy placement in a cabinet or rack, too. A
hand held remote control is included. So, from the composite
aluminum/composite front panel to the new speaker terminals, this amplifier
fulfills the needs of any music lover whose room isn’t quite as big
as the sports stadium down the road. And it’s a Marantz – your
assurance of the best sound around.For operational and technical assistance
