The Levinson Sound?


I have never listened to a Mark Levinson amp, but am curious as to what sound characteristics they have, especially the older amps from the 90's. How do they compare to say Pass Labs amps? Any info would be appreciated.

Hello jafant
I have not had the pleasure of the Mark Levinson 383, other than a audio show just for a couple of minutes.
"I've often heard that Levinson's amps have a "dark" sound to them. What does this mean?"

dark...
A warm, mellow, excessively rich quality in reproduced sound. The audible effect of a frequency response which is clockwise-tilted across the entire range, so that output diminishes with increasing frequency. Compare "light."

The Levinson Soud?

Great sounds, from old and new still, I still respect them.
They haven't sold out to Class-D like Rowland Research did, and lost a lot of audiophiles respect because of it.

Hi I still own 332 and I love the sound but I'm not using it because I'm set with accuphase. You won't go wrong if you get one
