Mark Levinson 26 pre amp


Dear sirs,

It is so hard to find a 26 preamp now. I have purchased a 27 power amp and everyone told me I should match it with 26 preamp but I just can't find one in ebay or Audiogon for few months already. Can any one help?

does you 23.5 have xlr and rca input as well?
how about the 20.0, 20.5 or 20.6 monoblock
any comment?
thanks
A1126lin: You don't want a 20.0, or a 20.6. You want a pair of 20.5's.

The 23.5 has XLR's and Camac/RCA (the Camacs were replaced with RCA's in the later production runs.) It can also be bridged (400W into 8 ohms)

I'd love to have a pair of bridged 23.5's! (To be honest, I've never heard what a bridged 23.5 sounds like -- maybe it sounds crappy!:~)

Also, unlike some amps with fake "balanced" inputs (eg Rowland, Audio Research, ......) the Levinson gear is fully signal-balanced throughout the chain of components -- from the preamp input > output > amplifier.
what's the difference in 20.0 20.5 20.6
i thought the 20.6 would be the latest( greatest?) in that series.
i thought the 20.6 is the lastest in that series, why not the 20.6 if you going in that route?
Re: ML 20.6 amplifier. It is a fully Class A mono amp putting out 100 W. The 20.5 is also a 100 watt unit , but I think it runs Class A-B, like the 23.5.
