Marantz PM6006 vs Marantz PM8006

Marantz PM8006 review

Both Marantz models worth their money but of course PM8006 has higher power: 70W vs 40W at 8 Ohms. The Marantz PM8006 is equipped with an upscale built-in phono equalizer, the circuit of which has been completely redesigned by the company's engineers to precisely match today's current requirements for vinyl reproduction. The amplifier also uses proprietary HDAM modules that have proven themselves in the Marantz technique. The circuit of the device is built on discrete elements and is covered by current feedback, which allowed to obtain a linear operating characteristic, a wide dynamic range and minimize noise and distortion.

Marantz PM6006 review

Thanks to the built-in converter CS4398 (24 bit / 192 kHz), the amplifier can be used as an external DAC. To do this, there is a coaxial input and a pair of optical inputs on its rear panel (the PM6005 model was equipped with only one optical connector), and the entire printed circuit board of the digital circuit is in a metal case-screen and does not adversely affect analog circuits. There is a set of linear RCA inputs, MM phono stage connectors, a recording output, and D-Bus system bus switching.
