Angeboten wird „No. 585.5“ von Mark Levinson als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Vollverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 8439849345 endet am 13.09.2026 um 12:39 Uhr.
This €7,900 asking price sits just above the 75th percentile (€7,399) of recent EUR listings, making it ambitious rather than a bargain, though still within the high-end market’s upper band for this model. The median used price is €5,676, so you’re paying roughly €2,200 more than typical, but the No. 585 commands attention for its dual-mono Class AB design delivering 200Wpc into 8 ohms and a built-in ESS Sabre 32-bit/192kHz DSD DAC—features that still feel rare in integrateds today.
Its value lies in combining a supremely clean power amp, high-end preamp, and reference DAC in one chassis, with 20Hz–250kHz bandwidth and <0.01% THD at full power. If this unit is in EUR-condition (original owner, no mods, full accessories), the premium over median is justified by its rarity and performance ceiling; watch only for firmware updates or Ethernet port reliability, common in aging ML units, but at this price and condition, it’s a compelling buy for serious listeners.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Mark Levinson Audio Systems originated in 1972 in New Haven, Connecticut, USA, founded by musician and audio innovator Mark Levinson. A professional multi-instrumentalist with a keen ear for sound reproduction, he launched the brand to bridge the gap between studio fidelity and home listening, debuting with the groundbreaking LNP-2 preamplifier—the world's first high-end audio product. Though Levinson later pursued ventures like Cello and Red Rose Music after parting ways with the company in 1980, the Mark Levinson name endures as a cornerstone of American hi-fi heritage.
The brand specializes in premium solid-state electronics, renowned for meticulously engineered amplifiers, preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers, and digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Its Pure Path circuit design and innovations like the R-2R ladder volume control define a lineup that prioritizes uncolored, reference-level performance. While early offerings included power amps like the ML-2 monoblocks, today's portfolio under Harman International ownership extends to high-end streaming components and turntable-compatible gear, all crafted for audiophiles seeking precision over compromise.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-high-end market, Mark Levinson commands reference status among discerning buyers, synonymous with no-compromise build quality, natural timbre, and benchmark transparency. Over five decades, it has set industry standards, attracting collectors and enthusiasts who value its legacy of pushing sonic boundaries through superior materials and engineering excellence.
