I got a DM-10 from a friend on a Forum. I was wanting to upgrade from Musical Fidelity X-A200 amplifiers and he suggested to give the Densen DM-10 a go.

Strength:
Musicality, smooth - engaging sound, wide bandwidth, the closest you'll get to valve sound from solid state, great imaging and depth in sound, reliability, life time warranty.
Weakness:
It causes too many late nights as it's very difficult to turn the Music off. This is a follow up from my previous review to report that the DM 10 is still with me, so far several amps. have come and gone in my system but the Densen is still here. It has been performing faultlessly, with no problems at all and the latest addition to the system is a Naim CD 5i player, that suits the smooth sounding DM 10 to a tee. If you value Music more than the equipment itself, do yourself a favour and have a listen to this amplifier. You may discover that you'll never need to buy another amp. again! Similar Products Used: Audiolab, Threshold, Proceed, Naim, Meridian, Quad and many more. |

Strength:
depth of sound, warm, tube-like sound. price.
Weakness:
spk cable connecting is very hard. it's very nice and well maded integrated amp. i think my dyn 1.3mk spk meets best amp at this price range. sound is very warm and tube-like. also imaging and depth of sound are great. it makes me relax and concentrate on the music. when i choice a CD and put in my CDP, i wonder what kind of sounds are filled my room. and it never disappointed me. but it have several shortcoming. it has not remote control and volume knob's gold coating is easily life off and changed. if you got a this amp in good-condition, you are a lucky. when you connect your spk or source to it, i strongly recommand high or middle price range's cables. changing the power cable is a necessity.

Strength:
All the best traits of the Naim Nait 3 without the harsh treble, and all the best of the Quad 77 without the plodding bass.
Weakness:
Needs good cable. Ecosse CS2.3 is a good starting point, but I think it demands even better than that. The only problem I have with this amp is that it made me realise the limitations of my CD player, particularly exposing its loose bass. So now I have to upgrade to a better CD player! But at least it works well with my Dynaudio speakers. I wasn't totally blown away by this amp as I was when I first got my Nait 3, but at least it is easier to listen to for a long time. The DM-10 is a combination of two amps I have owned, namely the Naim Nait 3 and the Quad 77. Each amp had its own strengths, and I often wished I could have both in one package. Well, the DM-10 is pretty much it. It has detail and timing like the Naim but minus the over-forward treble, with the glorious midrange and warmth of the Quad. It really needs good cabling, though: when I first got it I ran it with some cheapo silver cables and I wasn't too impressed by what I heard. Then I swapped in some Ecosse CS2.3 and the sound was just tremendous. I'm sure better cables will bring out even more out of this amp. I have a pair of Kimber 8TC, but some reviews suggest this cable might give the Densen problems with stability. I'm now using this in my main system while the Quad sits in the bedroom system. Sold off the Nait 3, but I haven't missed it since.

Strength:
Play all musics more than level.
Weakness:
Resolution of low bass drops a little.. I am Hwang-hojin that live in South Korea which is the Asian little country. Several kind of amplifiers and Densen dm-10 that is been worth comparing product that experience before to me novel music make a monetary offering to a temple . Performance and dual mode, and design of degree that do not believe price range order satisfaction enough from exoteric element. Also, is excellent so much so that there is no comparison target in price range boldly in performance. Inconvenient point is that can not buy this amplifier in Densen now. If you make use of dyne speaker, Densen may show the best matching. |
