| What ever happened to Mark Levenson? Mark Levinson (the man) lives in Switzerland still doing high-end audio. The brand is owned by Harman and they still market products bearing his name. My 80s-90s ML gear from Madrigal Labs still going strong | |
| Looking for an amp that punches way about its weight and I can grow with Used Mark Levinson no 333 or 336. No flames, finesse and power, reliable…had mine 25 years. | |
| Best DAC? I’ve had a Mark Levinson 360S for the last 18 years and it still sounds fine. | |
| Hissing sound when Tone Control is turned on Get gear without tone control... apart from L/R balance you should not need any | |
| Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them! Get 25 year old Mark Levinson...ML-2, 23.5, 333 and a 36 or 360S DAC | |
| Reccomend a good preamp for me. Mark Levinson 380S or 326S, JK Acoustics Passive 10 or...no preamp at all if you like it loud w/o volume control (source directly to power amp) | |
| what power cord can i use mark levinson no333? No 333 has a non-detachable 7.5 mm2 captive power cord. Wire it into the wall with a 32-amp 230V fuse and you’ll be fine. | |
| Mark Levinson model differences : 333 vs 432 vs 532 / H No 333 still going strong here after 25 years of use | |
| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well SheffieldRock happy with his 17 year old Mark Levinson no 360S | |

| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? The sound level of reproduced music is proportional to the voltage. Hence, voltage is most important.; A sagging voltage would ruin the experience. How much current you need, depends on your speaker’s resistance to AC (a.k.a. impedance) in the au... | |
| Preamp recommendation; ≤ $5k For up to $5k you could consider a Mark Levinson no 380S + no 25 or 326S ( which includes phono). | |
| More Power Part II A 1958 Philips AG9014 2 x 10 Watt valve driving an efficient speaker like Wilson, Klipsch, Tannoy or Lowther would equal a Steinway Grand from 10 metres distance. The same with a Quad, Martin Logan or AudioStatic electrostatic panel will take 300... | |
| Which integrated amp for rock/metal (and why McIntosh?) From 25 years of experience with no. 333 driving AudioStatic ES300R and DCM-5. Mark Levinson still “Balls to the Wall”. It’ll put musicians from Accept to Vivaldi live in your living room. TBH, Krell FPB 600/700, Boulder 2060 and Audio Research C... | |
| Levinson 5805 My Levinson system (no’s 25, 360S, 380S, 333 and Proceed PDT3), 25 years old still going strong driving demanding AudioStatic DCM-5’s My 360S and 380S died because of an electrical problem. Even though it probably was my fault, Harman fixed it und... |
