Small tidal wave of Mark Levinson hits the UK market in a short period

Might be coincidence or might be connected to the fact that the previous UK importer appears not to be representing them anymore. As for me, I'm relieved that years back I declined the agency.

Incidentally, the ML6a mono pre-amps I used in the late 1970s came closer to conveying the visceral thrill of a live performance, be it orchestral, solo acoustic or rock than any preamp I have ever heard anywhere at any price and at any time. For me, the absolute pinnacle of SS preamp design.

The Rappaport pre could muster a decent noise too as I recall :eyebrows:

Rappaport? Ah yes. Yes – apparently. Never got to hear one with other gear I knew. However did hear it driving a US valve power amp (Futtermans I think) into Dahlquist DQ10s and realised that this precise combination was more musically credible than anything I stocked at that time. I was there incidentally to supply a new Michell Marble Electironic ref deck with SME 3009/2 and if I recall correctly a Sonus Blue. Ah happy days indeed. Meanwhile, thank you for the memory prompt.
