The No. 526  is not just a Stereophile Class-A rated preamplifier, but in the review it was called, "a preamplifier to die for."  Good news, no need to get crazy, you can own this one today.


The engineers outdid themselves with every possible refinement in a feature packed preamplifier.  Even the DAC and phono stage are not just value add-ons but are true reference-grade audiophile sections.  


Featuring 12 inputs, a world-class 32 bit DAC, seven discrete power supplies, a pure class-A MM/MC phono stage, a class-A Main drive headphone amp and Clari-Fi restoration technology, the 526 is a statement piece, even from Mark Levinson. 


In Mark Levinson style, no corners are cut with beautiful separation of the audio, control and power supply circuits and sections.  A shielded box protects the power supply and other circuits against electrostatic and magnetic interference. Filtered AC power is routed outside audio circuit sections, providing audio circuits with the quiet, shielded environment essential for superior sound. Like most high-performance audio components, the N°526 relies on clean, noise-free AC power to deliver maximum performance. 


This is a near mint 526 and includes all of the original accys, super clean tripple box and packing.  Fully tested and ready to deliver an exceptional audio experience.
