When “What Hi-Fi Sound and Vision?” gave our PM6003 the “Best
amplifi er in its class” award, the performance bar was well and truly
raised for its successor: the PM6004. Fortunately, Marantz design en-
gineers enjoy nothing better than a real challenge. And they seized this
upgrade opportunity to further improve this already excellent amplifi er
by refi ning the sound and optimising the balance from Bass to Mid to
Highs for a performance full of harmony. The strategic difference is that
now both the pre-amplifi cation and power amplifi cation sections
exclusively feature discrete components – not a single IC in sight.
Specially selected single components not only outperform ICs in quality,
they also make it possible to refi ne the sound in much more detail,
resulting in more clarity and transparency in the sound stage. Of course
the lower impedance Toroidal transformer with case-shield has been
retained, so too has the customized main capacitors, and the potential
power transistor which is mounted on the extruded aluminium heat sink
and can easily handle higher currents to keep close control of speakers.
All of this proven, superior technology has been retained. And of course
all of the original features - such as six-line audio input including
phono, two-pairs of gold-plated speaker connections with the
convenience of bi-wiring, and a remote handset - are still there.
All that’s now required is a lover of music.
