Stereophile Review Summary:
"I reeled from the joy of all this sonic nirvana"; "I can't remember the last time I gorged on vinyl like this or enjoyed it so deeply."
"...when you shell out the long green for gear like the Mark Levinson No. 32 Reference preamplifier, you get a product that delivers on that promise of More and Better like nothing I've heard to date - a true Reference product whose name matches it's performance. Bravo."

Sound Stage Review Summary: 
Sound: "Silky, with such ease does it portray music, conveying all manner of relevant
detail in an utterly agreeable, unrestrained manner"; "its performance is the antithesis of forward or assertive." "The music had grace and flow instead of aggression and edge." "Yet, as time went by, I began to wonder if the No.32's easy-going nature may be an impediment for some listeners, as it kept the music somewhat at arm's length."    

Features:  "Feature-rich two-piece preamplifier with software-controlled user interface"; "separated into discrete chassis is all of the audio circuitry…and anything that could affect its performance, including the power supply, the LED display, and all of the control functions"; "the No.32 Reference is also a dual-mono design that's balanced from input to output, including the single-ended inputs, whose signals are converted to balanced"; "the No.32's discrete attenuator uses 66 surface-mounted resistors per channel and provides volume control in 0.1dB increments."    

Use: "More than any piece of audio equipment with which I am familiar, the No.32 can be tailored to your system and become an extension of the way you listen to music. It's a joy to use."    

Value: "Even at the No.32's lofty price, it's not hard to understand how the money was spent in its manufacture."
