No 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.
