Mark Levinson
Mark Levinson is a solid-state brand, which makes it an outlier in a tube collectors' archive, but the original site kept a category for it, and its high-end designs of the 1970s and 1980s attract the same kind of collector. The category holds the original brand page, which reproduces the company's own copy about the JC-1 preamplifier of 1972.
The history behind that copy is more turbulent than it suggests. Mark Levinson Audio Systems was forced into bankruptcy in 1984, and the brand has belonged to Harman International since 1995. The 2026 note on the brand page fills in the details.
When buying older Mark Levinson equipment, service history matters more than cosmetics; the original modules and power supplies are not always easy to replace. See the Mark Levinson maker page.
