Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

That ML looks a beast, and yes, characterless is what a good amp should be like, just getting on with its work without apparent effort.

It really is a 'beast' Dennis... so heavy and solidly built... I thought the Naim stuff was well built but the ML takes it to another level...
I've got the ML playing at the moment and, absolutely, it's just working without any 'apparent effort' as you suggest
Love it so far...

It's funny but I've always expected an amp to sound sort of what it looks like... if you know what I mean...
However the ML doesn't sound anything like it looks like.... It looks sort of brutish but that's not what it sounds like at all..
It's definitely a silky and effortless sort of sound somehow...
Don't know if that makes any sense at all...

In my opinion the cosmetics of the current Mark Levinson gear look stylish, understated and elegant. I would expect the abilities of the amp to be one of effortless capacity to simply relay the music without errors of either commission or omission.

Knowing what ML gear tends to sound like, I understand what you mean Bev.
(you should hear ML CD players, they're amazing)
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

I've been flirting with getting one for sometime now. Reports of problems occurring due to the very shallow disc tray have tempered my enthusiasm though.

Thanks Barry...
Stylish, understated and elegant, well I don't know about that.... to be honest I think the ML just looks brutish compared to anything else I've owned... but certainly effortless I can agree with

The only previous experience I had of ML gear was the huge mono's which did nothing for me at all...
BUT...'living' with the ML is another thing altogether
I just love it's sound, or no sound, to be honest
I am certainly tempted with a ML cd player...
