Mark Levinson has introduced a new 600 series, which includes the Mark Levinson No.626 preamplifier, the Mark Levinson No.632 stereo power amplifier and the Mark Levinson No.631 mono power amplifiers. Sales of the equipment will begin in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The Mark Levinson No.626 preamplifier is made in the "dual mono" concept, uses two power supplies and is equipped with a Precision Link III digital-to-analog converter (32/384). The built-in Pure Phono MM/MC phono preamplifier and the output from the built-in Class A Main Drive headphone amplifier are also not forgotten. Particular attention is paid to shielding the power supply and digital circuits from the analog part.
The output stages of both the Mark Levinson No.632 stereo power amplifier and the Mark Levinson No.631 monoblocks operate in class A/AB. The new products are made in a fully balanced Pure Path circuit design.
The Mark Levinson No.631 power amplifier is housed in a vertical case just under 53 cm high. Like other components in the series, its case is made of anodized black aluminum. Output power figures have not yet been announced.
Mark Levinson 600 Series electronic components will cost:
Mark Levinson No.626 Preamplifier – $25,000 / €27,999
Mark Levinson No.632 Stereo Power Amplifier – $30,000 / €33,999
Mark Levinson No.631 Mono Power Amplifier – $40,000 / €43,999

The company MSB Technology presented a very interesting solution to the eternal problem that arises after the introduction of an active subwoofer into the path - interference from the power amplifiers built into the bass modules can degrade the signal quality, transmitting noise back into the signal lines. The MSB Technology The Pro Sub Isolator is designed to correct this drawback.
