Assiduously evolved and improved over the years, the basic design is little changed from that of 2007’s PM6002 and, just like all the successors, the PM6007’s prime objective is to keep its price competitors eating dust in the rear-view mirror. Judging by past efforts, the success rate hasn’t been too shabby at all.
Were physical presence and the number of twirly knobs determining factors, this race would already be won by the Japanese amp. In a group containing the super-svelte NAD, the diminutive Rega and the yet daintier Pro-Ject, the PM6007 is a battleship. Just to look at it, you know you’re getting your £500’s worth in sheer surface area alone.
