Have you had a chance to listen to the NAD M23 as yet? That features Bruno's latest invention: Purifi Eigentakt modules designed to correct the deficiencies of his earlier Hypex Ncore design.

Not sure if this counts, but I did play a lot of Rush through the PM-10 when I had it and thought it suited them really well, especially more upbeat tracks like Something for Nothing, Freewill and Finding My Way. Mike

Does the PM-10 have Tone controls inside the menu? As i see no Bass or treble knobs Thanks. I hope tp own this amp soon

@@peterprimes497 Nothing. The menu is very simple.

Nope I don’t need all that power, rooms not big enough, pm12se will do just fine extra money will go to upgrade my cd player 🤔

@MrVinylista definitely one for you 👍

@Pinio7063227 - Did you buy PM-10S1? Because I have already bought it a week ago and I can tell you: it has no possibility to adjust soprano or bass tones. You can only plug and play pure, direct sound from one of your sources. For example I plugged Project turntable, so all I can hear is the pure, analog sound from vinyl records. But if you would plug any DAC, then you could adjust the tones from your source. Hope I helped you. Take care!

Sounds about right for us :-) We should change our channel description to this. Mike

Omg! The ups driver and I needed a lie down after we carried it into my listening room. (that sounds so wrong!). Mike

It's basically 2x Class D monoblocks and 1x Class A preamp in one box, with fully discrete power supplies. So not exactly a cheapo Chinese chip amp with a tiny switch mode PSU!

@@Hi-FiRiff Friend of yours, is he? ;-)

@@Hi-FiRiff I'm now thinking of that Python sketch where the milkman is lured into the house by the lady in underwear, only to end up in a room full of milkmen in various states of ageing/ decay. Is there a room in your house full of equivalent courier blokies?!

@@TheNorliss priceless! 😂

With respect Mr Samurai, I think that's a little unfair. Many Japanese manufacturers don't support their products for very long, but fortunately most component failures are generic and non-specific to the product - i.e. power supply capacitors, dry solder joints, etc. - so the unit isn't automatically scrap if it dies out of warranty. For example, my 1980 Sony TA-F70 integrated amp just died, again down to failed caps and it's currently being recapped as a result, well over 3 decades since Sony stopped supporting it. So all is not necessarily lost. In more general terms, I am more worried about streamers no longer being supported by firmware updates - when that happens you really are up the creek without a paddle! How many of today's streamers will work in 2032, and/or be able to play all common file formats?

@@MrVinylista I wish it were not the case and you were right but I have 2 Marantz SR 8000 series AV receivers that say otherwise as they will not be accepted by a single service center in the United States. That's their flagship AV receiver with a massive toroidal transformer. I've tried for 2 years to get a place to take them in or salvage one by swapping parts from the other. Every time I call a service center they told me they are over 7 years old and they can't accept them. I now need to replace them with $4,000 SR8015s apiece even though the gradual failure indicates a capacitor or resistor failure. I can share all the emails from Marantz and their service centers but it's pointless. As another gentleman explained in a product review on Amazon, these units are manufactured largely using the same parts and they only make a small number which is why they are disposable regardless of model and price and why he recommended buying the cheapest model. The fact that you paid that much doesn't entitle you to anything unless you're thinking of the Marantz of yesteryear. That company no longer exists. Ironically, vintage Marantz receivers are easier to repair so I would recommend buying a used Marantz from the 70s. It's no coincidence that Ken Ishiwata left Marantz before he passed away.

@@techsamurai11 My point is that if it's something capacitor failure and/or switches or dry solder joints, any competent tech can do it - and it doesn't need to go back to Marantz. Do you know what's actually wrong it? Shame that you're not in the UK, as I could put you in touch with my guy who can and does work on anything from Krell to Sanyo!

@@MrVinylista My sound would not start for a few seconds until the unit was warm. It started progressively longer and longer going from seconds, to minutes, to hours over 6 months. Now it won't work - it only happens with HDMI sources. In the other one, the center channel isn't working. I agree - Marantz's service centers should diagnose the issue and see if it needs just a small repair. There are no places to repair them in the States. Some retired technician could do it as a part time job and make a decent income but, sadly, they don't want to. I've spent 2 years on this. I feel bad for every Sound United customer in my shoes and I plan to take action. The worst part is in talking to all the service centers and Marantz for 2 years, I discovered that some of their practices could be viewed as legally questionable (a court can decide that) and if indeed they appear to be in breach of competition laws they may also have to answer to the US, EU, and possibly UK governments. I wouldn't be surprised if individual States also sue them. I've given them many chances to repair it and they have brushed me aside. I even explained that I'll take legal action on behalf of all their customers if they do not change their business practices and they still ignore me. We'll see who's laughing when they have to pay $5 million for a class action retainer and a few months later they get a nice letter asking them to cut another check for double the amount and so on and so forth and their management spends 5 years fighting for their careers. I remember even Bill Gates in an interview saying the one thing he would change (prior to his infidelity) was making the US antitrust case vs Microsoft go away - imagine that, he could throw 10 billion at it and it still affected him more than anything else in his career. All that over a resistor! 😁

It happened to me for my marantz pm11s2. It had some problems, they just said parts replacement not produced anymore and sent it back to me. 3rd party technicians were also failed to repair and i threw my marantz in the backyard in disgust. I wouldn't even look at it.

Another excellent name for our channel. Mike

It's digital

You are right @peterpimes497, it has no bass or treble adjustments..., just pure sound amplifier.

It’s on the remote my pm 12 se is done this way
