Mark Levinson adds No 626 and No 632 to 600 Series
The new line extends Mark Levinson’s upper-tier separates range with a preamplifier, a stereo power amplifier and a related monaural model. It gives dealers and system builders a fresh 600 Series path built around matching control and amplification components.

Mark Levinson has added a 600 Series product family led by the № 626 stereo preamplifier and № 632 stereo amplifier. The range also includes the № 631 monaural amplifier, positioning the series as a new separates platform above single-component upgrades.
The № 626 is the control component in the line and is described by Mark Levinson as a dual-monaural preamplifier. It combines analogue source handling, digital conversion, phono input support and headphone output provision in one chassis.
The № 632 is the stereo power amplifier in the series and follows the same dual-monaural architecture. Mark Levinson describes it as fully differential and fully discrete, with the № 631 sitting alongside it as the monaural amplifier model in the family.
