| Help Levinson 27.5, 331 or Plinius SA100? I've owned a #23 and now have a 27.5 It's an excellentamp, with a musical midrange, extended clean high endand solid bass. Soundstaging and imaging are great.I'd buy it again in a minute. | |
| Levinson Amps: What do they really sound like? I'm using a Levinson 27.5 amp (vintage 1992-95) which is100 W/chan @ 8 ohms. It's the little brother of the 23.5I'm using it with Magnepan 1.6QR speakers, and find itvery musical. It has a clean high end, solid bass, excellent soundstaging and ima... | |
| Your Recommendations Please I bought 6 CD's recently from Mapleshade, and they havesome of the best sound quality of any CD's I've heard.www.mapleshaderecords.com | |
| What is the best digital cable? I'm using a Nordost Silver Shadow 0.5m between my Levinson 37 and the TacT RCS 2.0. Seems to work well. | |
| How is the TacT RCS 2.0 as a pre amp vs I've had an RCS 2.0 for about 9 months. I've also gota Mark Levinson ML-1, and I've had a Spectral DMC-10,Audio Research SP-6B and SP-14, and others.I think the TacT can hold its own with any of the preampsI've had in the past. It is typical of so... | |
| Mark Levinson 23.5 or 336? The 23.5 is an older Levinson amp, but very highly regarded.I owned a #23 for about 5 years. The 23.5 was a major upgrade to the 23. I have also borrowed a 23.5, and I currently use a 27.5 which is very similar but lower output.The 23.5 was a supe... | |
| CD Transport for the next 10 years..... I'd second (third....fourth...?) the Levinson #37.I've had one about three months, and it's superb. Ipreviously had an EAD T-1000 which was decent, butthe Levinson is in a different class. | |
| Power Cord Review At the risk of ridicule from the "more expensive is better"crowd, why not include one of the cables from Belden. Theyhave a large variety of shielded and non-shielded power cords, with hospital-grade terminations. I use one on myLevinson 27.5 with... | |
| Mobile Fidelity CD s I think the two-CD set of Pink Floyds "The Wall" isquite excellent. | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group I've had an RCS 2.0 for about 8 months, and have found itto be the biggest improvement in my system of ANY component.Maybe the A/D and D/A converters are not of Levinson 360Squality, however I think they're decent, and the overallimprovement in so... | |
| REL Storm Setting for Maggie 1.6 50 Hz is way too high. I use a Strata III, set at 32 Hz. | |
| Which would you Buy? Without a doubt, buy the Levinson. I have a Levinson 27.5and it's the best amp I have owned. I have had a Levinson23, Threshold 400, Audio Research D-125, Dyna 416, SpectralDMA-50, and others. The Levinson is the best combinationof excellent imagi... |
