General description
The Mark Levinson No. 39 is a versatile CD player that doubles as a digital processor and preamplifier. With both digital inputs and outputs, it can process various digital sources and directly drive a power amplifier. The built-in volume control works in the analog domain and offers precise adjustments. The design is rugged, with a slim drawer of solid aluminum that moves smoothly on polished bearings. Operation is intuitive, with a large, easy-to-read display and a solid remote control. The No. 39 is known for its detailed and dynamic sound reproduction, with a spacious soundstage and sharp definition. This makes it suitable for listeners looking for a high-quality and flexible digital audio component.
Background information
The Mark Levinson No 39 is designed as an integrated CD player with high-quality DAC and preamp functionality. Developed by the Madrigal Audio Labs team, led by engineers such as Tom Colangelo, the No 39 uses only audiophile-grade discrete components and a fully balanced circuit design. The cabinet is milled from solid aluminum for maximum vibration damping. Internal wiring and power supply are designed in-house with minimal signal paths for optimum purity.
Brand history
Mark Levinson was founded in 1972 in the United States. The brand was named after its founder, Mark Levinson, who had a background as a musician and sound engineer. Its first commercial introduction was the LNP-2 preamplifier, designed for professional applications. Other devices followed later, including amplifiers and processors. In 1980, the brand was acquired by Madrigal Audio Laboratories, after which further product development continued. Since 1999, Mark Levinson has been part of Harman International Industries. The brand first introduced an audio system for use in a vehicle in 2001, in partnership with Lexus. All products are designed with an emphasis on technical specifications and workmanship. Production takes place in the United States using selected components. Mark Levinson equipment is supplied to customers worldwide through a selected network of distributors and dealers.

    CD

    De Compact Disc (CD) kwam zoals de meeste uitvindingen niet uit de lucht vallen. Na de uitvinding van de laser in 1958 werd in 1961 het eerste octrooi voor optisch leesbare schijven ingediend. In 1972 werden de eerste digitale videoplaten geïntroduceerd. Na een flop van Philips kwam de fabrikant in 1979 samen met Sony met de eerste cd, wat erop stond weten wij niet maar in 1982 kwam de eerste cd voor de markt uit, het was het album Visitors van ABBA. In dit jaar kwam de eerste speler beschikbaar en zo begon de verdrijving van de lp uit de markt. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen. Heb je cd’s, geniet er vooral nog eens van, ze hebben immers geen oneindige levensduur.

    CD

    The Compact Disc (CD), like most inventions, did not appear out of thin air. After the invention of the laser in 1958, the first patent for optically readable disks was filed in 1961. The first digital video records were introduced in 1972. After a flop by Philips, the manufacturer, together with Sony, released the first CD in 1979. We do not know what it contained, but in 1982 the first CD was released for the market, it was the album Visitors by ABBA. In this year the first player became available and so began the elimination of the LP from the market. Many have literally thrown their LPs in the trash… we still see some visitors being disappointed when they tell us this. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen.
