Mark Levinson No. 53 Reference Power Amplifier

The N53 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 N53, 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.
