What ever happened to Mark Levenson?

Think Mark is currently still pushing his newest endeavor, Daniel Hertz… when last I heard.Never read anything in the industry about Mark Levenson’s current proprietary line. Mark is a controversial figure in Audio but still an undisputed legend. His interesting and rather amazing multi page bio is on DanielHertz dot com. Did you know that Mark’s great uncle was Heinrich Hertz?
In 2014, I helped him with his room at the Vegas T.H.E. Show.
The complete top line Daniel Hertz full system is about $300K but it is about the best sound I have ever heard. Big, musical, real.
The DH front end is a Mac using Master Class soft wear directly to his DAC. First time I heard great digital.
Whenever Mark is not selling DH to Russian oligarchs, he spends his time between his home in Switzerland and boat in Venice with his Russian model wife and his 11 year old son… when last I heard.

True, he never designed anything, but he had a good ear and a great nose for talent. Hiring Takeda San of Miyabi to design ’his’ MLC-1 cartridge before anyone else in the west had heard of him was another prime example.

He was a talented bass player though. Check out the records he made with Paul Bley in the mid ’60’s, long before his career as an ’audio entrepreneur’ got started.
