Mark Levinson No. 585

Jim,

   I've listened to the 585 numerous times with quite a few different speakers.  I wanted to buy one, but the cost was too much for me to justify.  You'll love it!  It will match up with the Thiel 2.4SE really well and it has all the power you'll ever need.

Thank You! Chuck.

Guys,

Have you also heard tge ML 536 amps?  Curious how they sound and don't see much information online to date.

Thanks 

ML has so many models.

Has anyone heard the 536v

That V was a typo, was supposed to be a ?

is the 536a power amp?

Mark Levinson 585 will be your last amp unless u get the 585.5.  It’s that good .  It’s great !!!

The 536 is insanely good.
One only needs to possess the means to afford them, and the space to set them up.
I heard them with the very very very top of the line Martin Logan at the hi-fi show and the sound was mine blowing.
The only thing I thought that was on the same level, what are the ungodly expensive tube amps from CAT.

For me, it makes sense to use it to preempt, but high-quality solid-state amps.
(534, 536 from lev), pass labs, Burmester, D’Agostino etc.

Tube preamp

The 585 is a significant leap down from the preamps like 523 and 526, and amps like 534 & 536’s.
its not bad, but it’s not innthe leage of 536, not even same zip code, IMHO.
