Is Levinson 33 still a reference standard today???


How does it compare to the latest offerings from Pass, Halcro, Dartzeel, Krell...etc? There seems to be a few of them showing up in the classifieds all of a sudden.

Richard Hardesty, in his Audio Pefectionist Journal, went from the ML33's to the Theta Dreadnaught I's stating they were better. The Levinson's were sold. Later, he went to the Theta Citadel's as his reference. He is the only reviewer that I have seen really make a definitive statement to the point of actually stating a preference and his reason why.
He has become a fan of no negative feedback amps used with tube preamps. He currently uses a VTL 7.5 preamp.
