Review: Mark Levinson 38S
Category: Preamps
I picked this up June 2002 here on Audiogon. Wow. Lots of functionality. Software driven inputs (you can name them) balanced and standard rca's. Exceptional remote control. You can adjust the volume level in miniscule steps (super for listening at night. Very quite and neutral, it's just so quite. Works well with my Proceed CDP player and Carver M1.0t amp (will be upgrading amp-one step at a time). No phono. No head phone jack. The ac connection is not at the back of the unit but rather underneath in the center. Makes ac cable upgrades an issue (fat cables) you will need to add cones or some type or isolation feet, you will have to raise the preamp up to an acceptible level to accommodate the ac cord upgrade.Good value for the money (on the used market) I could never afford it new. One I will be keeping for many years (one day will have it upgraded to 380S status).
