This Denon PMA 501 amplifier from 1978 is a unique amplifier with high-end qualities and it has a great sound thanks to the heavy design and phono cross talk function (PCC)

With two heavy transformers, two cooling units and four capacitors this amp can handle a lot of dynamics. That can be heard: the sound is sparkling with a lot of dynamics and spread stereo image. Such amplifiers are not being made anymore.
This Denon quality amplifier is a heavy one with 14 kg. The power is more than sufficient thanks to the double transformer, cooling units and 4 capacitors.

This amp has the Cross Talk (PCC) developed by Denon. This means there is fine tuning for phono display. The original Denon testing record is included. 
The PCC control was also issued as a single device by Denon in the late 1970s. In this PMA 501 amplifier the PCC control has been integrated.

The manual for both PCC and the regular manual as well as the original warranty from 1978 are included. 

The speaker connections have been modified by the first owner: there has been created a new input for 2 speakers with banana plugs on the back professionally. The original speaker inputs and also pre-out outputs have been disabled. The circuit for speakers has thus been shortened.

The amplifier has been professionally serviced recently, at which time all potentiometers have been cleaned and the lighting has been replaced. 
The volume meter has a slight non-disturbing crack, because this triple quality potentiometer couldn’t be cleaned completely. 

The technical quality of this amplifier is very fine. The exterior is also very nice, it has only a few small signs of wear on top. The testing record is unused and mint after 39 years.

Power output: 50 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo)

Frequency response: 5Hz to 100kHz

Total harmonic distortion: 0.05%

Input sensitivity: 2.5mV (MM), 150mV (line)

Signal to noise ratio: 76dB (MM), 100dB (line)

Output: 150mV (line), 1V (Pre out)

Speaker load impedance: 4Ω (minimum)

Dimensions: 430 x 146 x 321mm

Weight: 13kg

Year: 1978

In case of shipping, the amplifier will be carefully packed and sent via DHL or GLS. 
It could after consultation possibly be delivered within a radius of 100 km of Deventer.

Modified speaker connection, serviced, heavy quality amp with great sound and unique PCC

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
<p>1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.</p>
<p>2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.</p>

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?
