Mark Levinson is an American high-end electronics brand founded in 1972 by audio engineer Mark Levinson in Woodbridge, Connecticut, and now based in Stamford, Connecticut. The first products were designed by John Curl under Levinson's supervision. The brand makes amplifiers, preamplifiers, digital sources and turntables, and its systems also appear in Lexus cars. A black anodised chassis has marked its products from the start.
Range & what it's known for
The home range has two tiers. The 5000 series covers the No 5101 streaming SACD player, the No 5206 preamplifier, the No 5805 and No 5802 integrated amplifiers, the No 5302 power amplifier and the No 5105 turntable. Above it sit the reference models, including the No 519 player, the No 526 and No 523 preamplifiers, the No 585.5 integrated and the No 536 and No 534 power amplifiers, with the ML-50 mono block at the top. The 600 Series adds the No 632, No 631 and No 626. In cars, Mark Levinson systems have been offered as an option in Lexus models since 2001, as an upgrade costing roughly USD 1,440 to 2,500 depending on the vehicle.
Who owns it and where it's made
The early company struggled financially. Sandy Berlin invested USD 480,000 in 1980 to keep it running, but bankruptcy stopped operations in 1984, and Madrigal Audio Labs then took over the trademark and assets. Harman International acquired the brand in 1990, and Harman is now owned by Samsung Electronics. Mark Levinson himself left long ago, and the brand operates as part of the Harman luxury audio group from Connecticut.
The lineup in this catalog
Amplifiers and preamplifiers, with home models here costing from around USD 10,000 to well over USD 100,000.
Who it's for
Mark Levinson is for a solid-state system from one of the oldest names in American high-end audio, backed by long factory support. The No 5805 integrated with built-in DAC is the natural entry, the No 5206 and No 5302 split the system into separates, and the reference preamplifiers with the No 536 or ML-50 amplifiers are the top of the path.
