Mark Levinson Nr32 compares to .........


All,

I'm having a Levinson Nr32 pre-amp. Currently I'm changing my system and therefor the Levinson might need to go. I do like the Levinson, but I think it is a bit "dry" sounding. Does everything well, but I miss the emotion a bit.

I do have to admit that I don't have that much comparison with other good pre-amp.

How does the Levinson Nr32 pre-amp compares to eg. Dartzeel, Vitus, Fm Acoustics and Boulder?

Appreciate if someone can give his view on the difference between those machines.

Thanks a lot.

I have owned lots of ML stuff and it was all very good. I do understand exactly what you mean when describe it as "dry". I always felt it was a bit too cold and a bit more lab instrument than musical instrument. I tried a bunch of other preamps (albeit not many tube based) but in the end (I know...their is no end) I settled on the Boulder 2010. For me, it was the best of all worlds. Accurate and revealing, yet warm, organic and totally natural sounding at all times. I am not sure it would work in every system, but it has been a great addition to mine.
