Denon Integrated
Amplifier model PMA-550 is rated at 100 watts per channel, with both channels
driven into 8 Ω, and a total harmonic and intermodulation distortion below
0,005 percent. The unit may be direct-coupled from input to output by means of
a front-panel switch, and it incorporates electronic switching for input
sources, a separate record-out selector that permits the user to listen to one
source while recording another, a subsonic filter, defeatable tone controls,
and switching for two sets of speakers. Phono overload levels are 160
millivolts for the moving-magnet, and 8 millivolts for the moving-coil phono
sections. Phono Signal-to-Noise ratios are 89 dB for MM and 73 dB for MC.
