AMPLIFIER – AGAIN

The Mark Levinson®ML-2 power amplifier,
introduced in 1972, flew directly in the face
of conventional wisdom, demonstrating
beyond all doubt that a solid-state amplifier
could outperform its vacuum-tube counter­parts. A 25-watt pure Class A monaural
power amplifier, the ML-2 set Mark Levinson
engineers on a path – designing and building
the world’s best-performing linear power
amplifiers – they’ve been traveling ever
since. But technology continues to advance,
often relentlessly, and Mark Levinson
products advance with it.

The
amplifier is a landmark, the first-ever switch­ing power amplifier from the Mark Levinson

and although they offer several advantages
over linear designs – more power, increased
efficiency, compact dimensions, lower
weight and less heat dissipation – they’ve
been generally maligned by audiophiles
for inferior sound quality. The audiophiles
are right – there are significant technical
limitations inherent in conventional switch­ing designs. But Mark Levinson engineers
have successfully overcome the limitations
with the
