Mark Levinson has launched its No. 600 Series, led by the No. 626 stereo preamplifier and the No. 632 stereo power amplifier. The series also includes the No. 631 monaural amplifier, giving the line separate preamplifier, stereo amplifier and mono amplifier models.
The No. 626 is a dual-monaural stereo preamplifier with analogue, digital, phono and headphone facilities. The official product page positions it within the No. 600 Series and lists support documents including a quick-start guide, brochure, specification sheet and owner’s manual.
The No. 632 is the stereo power-amplifier model in the same series. Mark Levinson lists it as a fully differential, fully discrete, dual-monaural amplifier, while the No. 631 extends the range into monaural amplification.
