Mark Levinson's new No. 53 amp is 20 better than predecessor {Engadget HD}

Apr 9th 2008 1:47PM A few decades ago I got to hear a full setup including Mark Levinson monoblock amps.

This was obviously at a high end audio store. The difference between the highest end system and the next one down was apparently audible. Especially when listening to studio master tapes.

To mere mortals the price can not be worth it. Most people spend 25 years paying off 200k much less for a stereo. I have no doubt that these are amazing.

Every audiophile at one point or another in life should get a few hours to listen to a properly,perfectly, configured stereo with a pristine source.
