Mark Levinson Gears

Folks,

Just wondering why there is no mentioning for a Mark Levinson Gears in this forum.

I found Krell has it's a subforum but not the ML.

Could it because it's a low end gear? :scratch2::tears::D

James

James... So far, there has been very little interest. I take it you're a fan?

Ivan,

Just got curious about the interest for ML.

I kept 380s, 36, 37 and (sold my 335) so I can be considered a small fan. But again, I am a fan of just about every audio gears (new or vintage) and I am not even using ML for a long time. :D

James

Let's see what kind of responses we get on this thread; maybe a ML forum will appear... ;)

James

Levinson is surely not looked at as low end gear by me.

Jim

Nope it is wonderful! I heard that it had some customer service issues after Mark sold them. A friend that works for a dealer told me that a lot of dealers had problems getting things serviced. Harmon now owns them and is trying to bring back the line.

I owned Levinson gear for about 20 years, with never a service problem, never a glitch, only pure enjoyment!

Levinson stuff (starting with the original equipment built by Mark Levinson himself) has always been overbuilt, built to last, built like a tank and always sounded "good" if not superb or, at least, excellent.

I always said that my Levinson equipment was "good enough", and continued to "trade-up" as new models appeared and remained contented by the sound and quality.

I finally sold my Levinson equipment in 2005 because I decided it was time to try something else. At the time I had a No. 32 preamp and a pair of 33H amps along with a full complement of Levinson digital gear.

I did buy a Spectral preamp and a pair of Spectral amps which were equally well built and, to me, sounded a bit better. Later sold the Spectral mono amps and bought a stereo "250" amp which sounds the same as the mono amps, but got a considerable amount of cash to buy something else.

Still love and respect Levinson gear and would recommend it unquestioningly to anyone looking to assemble an "all black" system. Good Stuff!

It was the sound of Mark Levinson that got me interested & the 33H was the reason behind buying my loudspeakers at the time.. The 33H & the bigger 33's were the best of ML IMHO. They were just too expensive to buy in Australia back then when the Aussie $ was down. I question the excellence of ML since HK took control from Madrigal though.

Steve.......I'll bet their golf balls are pretty good, though. :D

Steve.......I have been impressed with Mark Levinson gear for over 30 years. I have no doubt a pair of the new No. 53 mono blocks, the 326S preamplifier, and the 512 CD/SACD player would make a tremendous sound system with your choice of loudspeakers.
