Description:
The Nº53 is the first-ever switching power amplifier from Mark Levinson. Despite their numerous advantages – increased efficiency, more power, compact dimensions, decreased weight and less heat dissipation than their linear counterparts – switching power amplifiers have generally been viewed with skepticism from the audiophile community due to the technical limitations inherent in switching designs and assumptions about the resulting sound quality. The Nº53, however, is the end result of an extensive R&D effort to find ways to emphasize the advantages of switching power amplifiers while overcoming their weaknesses, creating a landmark product truly worthy of the Mark Levinson Reference designation.

Review:
HomeTheater HiFi: “The Mark Levinson No 53 power amplifier is a very unusual, very innovative design. It’s switching taken to a much higher level of performance. The sound, however, is not unusual, that is, not unusual for Mark Levinson. This is one hell of a product.”
