1973: The Mark Levinson Pre Amp

Mark_Levinson_Preamp_1973No account of CT audio-history could be complete without Mark Levinson.  Above: a 1973 advert for his first product, the LNP-2 pre amplifier.  Although it cost $9,050 (yup….) in 2013-dollars, a unit recently sold on eBay for $4500.… so not a terrible investment overall.

Click here to download (not my link…) Barry Willis’ account of the career of the CT audio legend.  It’s worth a read.  Starting with…  age 22, he built the console for Woodstock.
