Upsampling the way to go? ?
I recently upgraded my Leveinson #39 to the new #390s. The #39 was an excellent sounding player, but the 390s is a big improvement. The 390s increases the sample rate to 352.8 kHz or 384 kHz and is the main reason for the improvement. 
BEST CHOICE OF INTERCONNECTS
I have a ML 334/380/390s combo with Audio Physic Avanti Century speakers. I had Audioquest Diamond X3 ICs with Dragon 2 cable. I changed to Harmonic Tech Pro-Silway II's and Magic One ICs, with Pro-9 speaker cable. I found the Harmonic Tech cables... 
What IC's works best with ML390s cd player?
I am using a Harmonic Technology "The Magic One" in a balanced configuration. It is going through a ML #380 to a #334 and the sound is very detailed. It sounds much better than the Audioquest Diamond X3's I had before. Good luck, you will love the... 
Mark Levinson 383 or ML 334?
Hi, Moving your amp from the pre-amp helps move the large power supplies and equipment from the pre-amp where distortion can be picked up. This is one of the reasons for sep components and why some pre-amp power supplies are external.I use 4M Harm... 
Mark Levinson 383 or ML 334?
Let me give another view. I have a 334/380/39 combo and I would say that if you are willing to move your amp away from the pre-amp you will have a great improvement over the 383. My amp is 4M away and I am using Harmonic Tech Magic one interconnec... 
what speakers do the best "disappearing act"??
Audio Physic Avanti Centuries truly disappear. 
Any feedback on the Levinson no.390s upgrade ??
A clarification, I was told by Madrigal the cost to upgrade the 39 to the 390s was $1,800 from the factory with full check out of the player. If you want your local dealer to do the upgrade it is $1,500. 
Any feedback on the Levinson no.390s upgrade ??
I called to upgrade my #39 and is $1,800 from the factory and $2,300 with a new face plate. A much higher sample rate and more 3-d type sound, better highs and lows. You can read about it on the WEB site. I have been waiting for a local store to g... 
The best cables for a Levinson set
Hi, I have a Levinson #334, #380 and #39. I just changed to Pro silway II from my amp to pre-amp and Magic from my CD player to pre-amp, both are XLR. I had Audioquest Diamond X3 before. The Harmonic cables are MUCH more revealing and detailed. I ... 
Help Levinson 27.5, 331 or Plinius SA100?
I sold my 27.5, which was an excellent amp, and bought a 334. The 334 is a much better amp, bass, mids, highs and soundstage is outstanding. I would agree 100% with LEV335, the 334 is a great amp that will keep you engaged for a long time. 
Levinson Amps: What do they really sound like?
I have had a Levinson 27.5 and now have a 334 with Audio Physics Avanti Centuries and have found both amps to very detailed, outstanding soundstage, with great bass, warm mids and highs. I do believe you need a good cables with the Levinson. I am ...

Audio Physic "Sparks". 
Talon Khorus Vs Audio Physic Avanti III
I would also look at the Avanti Centuries. It is a special edititon that uses the tweeter from the 20K Audio Physics Caledra. I think they are better than the new Avanti III. 
Mark Levinson 23.5 or 336?
I am driving Audio Physics Avanti Centuries. They are 4 ohm speakers, with a medium room, high cellings and it is plenty of power. I don't think I hve ever had my 380 pre-amp above 65, but I don't know how power hungry Revel's are. 
Mark Levinson 23.5 or 336?
I just purchased a ML334 demo amp, the 125 watt version of the 336. It is replacing a ML27.5. The 27.5 is an excellent amp, but the 334 has much tighter bass control and better imaging without messing up the mids and highs. It is a very smooth and...
