Nothing sounds as good as a well set-up hi-fi system, apart from listening to music live and a good hi-fi system will emulate that in spades! The selection below includes amps and receivers (the heart of your hi-fi system that connects to your speakers and music source) along with a selection of music sources, including CD and SACD players, DACs (for connecting to your laptop/Mac via USB or other digital connections), hi-fi streamers (to listen to music from internet and other music sources like iTunes, Spotify, etc), DAB/FM tuners and audio recorders. We also sell a selection of turntables and cartridges and vinyl and turntable accessories. Don't forget, we also sell a comprehensive selection of speakers.
Mark Levinson is an American audio company that specialise in the design and manufacture of high end hifi equipment with products such as amps, turntables and streaming/CD players.
Mark Levinson, the original founder, made his name working as a bassist for jazz pianist, Paul Bley among others in the sixties and early seventies. Later in 1972, he founded the audio company, which was originally called Mark Levinson Audio Systems and ran it through to 1984. Mark Levinson Audio Systems used their expert knowledge to design and produce innovative high end hi fi separates, most notably, the LNP-2 preamplifier.
In 1984, Levinson parted ways with MLAS and founded another audio equipment company; Cello Ltd. But, due to the grounds that he was a working trade name, MLAS launched a lawsuit attempting to prevent Levinson from working in the audio industry. Ultimately, Levinson lost the right to use his name as a trade name on an audio product in the future. Since this incident, Mark Levinson products have no relationship to the original owner and are now owned by Harman International.
Mark Levinson focus on developing extremely high end hifi products from hifi amps, turntables and CD players and are designed to give you the very best sound for all your music sources so you can hear every note and feel every beat.
Some of the brand's most notable products include the No 5206 pre amplifier, from their flagship 5000 range, and the Mark Levinson No 536 power amp, from their other flagship 500 range. When designing hifi systems, Mark Levinson take style, performance and musicality into consideration and is a great option for any budding audiophile.
