A Denon compact system with Mission speakers, from the past, and my past.

I owned a compact stereo/bedroom system from Denon that was, I believe, called a UD-M10 (not sure on that).

It was a very good second/bedroom system and I sold it before a move a few years back. Perhaps my memory is through rose colored ears, but I am looking to see if I can find one on the used market. Now this is no where near audiophile, as I have had some of the best from Audio Research, Conrad Johnson, BAT, VAC, Dahlquist, Magnepan, Thiel and too many others for my main system.
But late at night, going to bed...and yes, sometimes with a vodka gimlet (make that Tito’s vodka) this little Denon/Mission system was very pleasant. ( Tito’s Classic Gimlet Recipe | Tito’s Handmade Vodka (titosvodka.com) You can skip the syurp.

Do any of you AudigoN members have any experience with this Denon/Mission system? Thanks.

i cant say for sure....but there was a member on here not to long ago that used to start a new thread / post every couple of days.  in those threads posts, that person would always mention things from the past, especially when it came to equipment that they used to have.

makes me wonder if this is that person, but using a different moniker ?

the other member was : whatjd  

if you look at your previous threads and some of whatjd threads/ posts, they are to similar.

Mission 70s were my first really good speakers. Drove them with a little ugly NAD integrated that always got my toes tappin'. 

We're proud of Tito's here in Austin! They do plenty of community support including sponsoring independent radio and plenty of live performances. Cheers,

Your best bet might be to do a regular search on HiFiShark.com - https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=Denon+D-M10 - and ebay. There aren't any listed either place right now but there have been a few fairly recent sales listed on HiFiShark.

This is the one I still have and like very much.
small footprint and great sound. 3 cd changer inputs and really nice sound for such a small system.

I have a Denon/Mission system. Have to look for the model number. Remember it being ranked in Stereophile years ago. Still works. Has single cd player/radio, no cassette.

Easy now @secretguy ! I'll argue for:

Stevie Ray Vaughn
Kacey Musgraves
Black Pumas
Buddy Holly
3D Printing
Frozen margaritas

No support here for Dr. Pepper, Matthew McConaughey or breast implants. Cheers,

I bought my mother-in-law the Denon UD M30 a number of years ago.

They came with Denon speakers, so swapped them for my Mission M71 speakers.

Quite a nice wee system.

 

Also bought one for a friend a number of years later.
