Had the 27.5 and yes it was a very good amp. Not the world's best or hidden treasure of high end but still very respectable. AB against a Soulution poweramp and while it lost out it was not too far behind. Moved on since long time ago and not look back.
Mark Levinson 27.5 versus modern day amps
I had started a thread on the 334 but looks like the caps if not replaced is a crap shoot. However, how does the 27.5 compare to some modern day or newish amps? Do you think it would be worth it to purchase a 27.5 as they seem to be going for $1800 to $2700. Upwards of $2200 is ridiculous in my opinion as they used to sell for $1700-$2000 a few years ago. Also what preamps mate well with ML amps?
