Hello! I hope this is the right forum to ask this question.
I have an old Denon receiver/amplifier, Denon UDRA-M10, which was a part of their ultra-compact hi-fi system Denon D-M10 in early 2000s I think.
The specs say it's 2x40Wpc, and there is very little information available in terms of measurements,
but I opened the case and took some picture of the internals
My question is whether this amplifier is good compared to, let's say Yamaha A-S501, if we leave the power question outside of the equation.
I'm only talking about the quality of the components and if anyone is familiar with this amplifier - what are your thoughts if it will be a decent match to something like a pair of SVS Ultra Bookshelf
I did hook them up and listened and didn't hear any suspicious, but I'm totally newbie and don't know what to listen to specifically.
Please see pictures in the attachment.
Pre-amp parts I spotted:
2x caps 100µF
2x caps 220µF
3x caps 50µF
a bunch of transistors a970
a bunch of transistors c1841
Main amp:
2x caps 8200µF
2x transistors C4278
2x transistors A1633
Somewhere in the middle with a small separate heat sink:
1x transistor KIA 7805A
1x thingy with 5 legs BA12ST
