Mark Levinson 432

The amplifier is being fully reconditioned by Pyramid Audio of Austin TX.  It will have been updated and is fully tested to deliver the specified output and sound of a new unit. I have owned this Amp since 2006 it did not fail. The reason I sent it to Pyramid is that I believe that once it was serviced after 10 years of working and two years in the box it would make the new owner a great value for the next ten years  The Absolute Sounds Robert Hartley reviewed the 432 in the December 15, 2008 magazine.  "The.432 shares the circuit topology of the company’s flagship No.33H monoblocks. The unit features a massive power supply with separate toroidal transformers for each channel. Indeed, the No.432 is rated at 400 WPC into 8 ohms, and can double that figure into 4 ohms (800 WPC). Any amplifier that doubles its output power as the load impedance is halved must have a massive power supply, a robust output stage, and serious heatsinks. High-level signals are routed through the amplifier on large buss bars rather than via wiring. The DC-servo’d input and driver stages are fully balanced. The Mark Levinson No.432 power amplifier is a worthy successor to the company’s previous efforts in power-amplifier design. It combines brute-force output power with remarkable delicacy and resolution, and embodies the company’s aesthetic of subtlety in presentation. If you know and like the classic Mark Levinson sound, the No.432 won’t disappoint."
