Mark Levinson No. 535H Mark Levinson Five Channel Amplifier

This No. 535H is in excellent cosmetic and electrical condition; the top cover has just been replaced and the front panel looks great. It has received very little use since I purchased it, I estimate somewhere around 500 hours (it was in a secondary system).

The No500H series amplifiers redefine the concept of outstanding performance in their categories. Drawing from the Mark Levinson heritage, while utilizing a new, straightforward, balanced, currentfeedback design, creates a new series of amplifiers that must be listened to in order to be fully appreciated. The final result is impressive, even for the Mark Levinson high standard of excellence.

Independent power supply components are used for each channel to maximize the isolation between channels, thus improving imaging. Isolated chassis and signal grounds minimize noise to optimize detail, even at low listening levels.

The amplifier channel itself is simple but elegant. The audio path is fully differential, thereby handling balanced input signals in their native format, ensuring no noise is added by unnecessary signal conversions. Care was taken in component selection, insuring high-quality passive components are used in critical locations, maximizing the potential sonic benefits.
