Is AUD$4,400 a smart buy for this used Mark Levinson No.27.5 power cable? At first glance, it's spot-on fair—our recent comps show a median of AUD$4,346, with the 25th percentile at AUD$3,078 and 75th at AUD$9,717. That's squarely in the typical used range for this premium shielded cable, neither a steal nor a stretch, assuming solid condition.
Before committing, verify the cable's age and terminations—early No.27.5s can suffer from oxidized Neutrik connectors or degraded shielding from years of flexing. Confirm it includes the original Mark Levinson ferrite clamps and serial-matched plugs; fakes circulate, so demand close-up pics and seller provenance. Test for hum or noise if possible.
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.
