Default Mark Levinson?

What's the current thinking on Mark Levinson?

Do they make reliable stuff?

What's the house sound?

They have a pretty small product line, but the preamplifier and amplifiers seem fairly well reviewed. I see a bunch of advertisements for them, but never really hear much about ML from audio fans...

I've owned Levinson; 335, 380S, 360S, 37,and 383. Loved the sound, it was reliable and beautiful inside and out. The metal work, circuit boards and parts quality are second to none, very close to mil-spec.

Julian: Thanks! I made the classic mistake of not using the search function.
