This episode sees Mike and David discussing Marantz's flagship PM-10, a super swish integrated amplifier that has massive loudspeaker driving ability thanks to its Hypex Ncore Class D power modules.
One of the last Marantz designs that the late Ken Ishiwata was closely involved with, it's basically two high quality monoblock power amps and a serious preamp shoehorned into one, very svelte looking box.
Mike is lukewarm about it, but David likes it more - although the guys both agree that it's probably 'too posh for people like us'!
Each episode of Hi-Fi Riff features the guys' unedited, unexpurgated views about all manner of weird and wonderful hi-fi designs. Mike has a wealth of knowledge from his hi-fi retail years, and David has written about hi-fi for thirty years. Now Editor-in-Chief of StereoNET, he's picked up a few things along the way.
So brew up a cuppa or crack open a can, and relax and enjoy some one-take hi-fi riffing - and please leave your comments below. Oh, and don’t forget to hit the Subscribe button, this one goes up to eleven!
