Offered is „390 S“ by Mark Levinson as second-hand device from the category „CD Player“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 28217077 ends on 27.12.2026 at 10:17 o'clock.
€5,500 is an ambitious price: it sits well above the recent comparable median of €2,646 and exceeds the €4,073 75th-percentile figure. Unless this is an unusually pristine, fully serviced example with exceptional provenance and accessories, the numbers point to a substantial premium; a buyer should negotiate firmly.
The No. 390S remains a genuinely desirable high-end CD player, with smooth, grain-free treble, deep bass, an expansive soundstage, balanced outputs, HDCD decoding, and a useful analogue volume control that can feed a power amplifier directly. Its rarity and status as Mark Levinson’s last dedicated CD player add appeal, but age makes a demonstrated, quiet-running drawer and reliable disc reading especially important. At this asking price, documented service history and complete accessories are essential.
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.
