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.

It said in Stagrer's  link Kim's husband Mark Levinson was a jazz musician.

 And where can you find  Russian models outside of Russia? Is moving to Switzerland the answer?. I think that's where Bill Murray lives with Laraine Newman now. Who would have guessed?

The facts so far:
Heinrich Hertz was his granduncle (no relation to the car rental magnate)
Mark Levinson played bass with Paul Bley and other well known jazz musicians,
Mark married Kim Cattrall and co-wrote a book with her on female orgasms, probably right after seeing and hearing her performance in "Porky's".
Levinson founded and then was forced out of his renowned self -named audio company, but managed to stay in the audio business
He and Bill Murray both live in Switzerland and/or South Carolina
He is now 74 and apparently lives with a Russian model, He must be exhausted by now.
Chevy Chase played with the founders of Steely Dan while at college in Bard.
Nobody knows what happened to Laraine Newman outside of Bill Murray possibly, The fact is she did get a nose job and finally put on some weight.
Apparently Dekay found Faye Dunaway's wife in Lahore, Pakistan. Nobody knows why he as even there. Give him credit though.
Gilda Radner still rules.
