Mark Levinson No. 26 // Vintage Dual Mono Preamplifier / PLS-226 PSU / balanced XLR

Mark Levinson No. 26 Preamplifier with balanced XLR input/output and PLS226 power supply, CAMACs

Downsizing my large collection, this is one piece I will really miss. (its partner, A ML No. 331 will be up for sale shortly) It’s reputation is well deserved, as it sounds totally musical and revealing without creating a distinct footprint of its own. 

It is in very good condition with age appropriate wear of minor surface abrasions.The DC  umbilical cord is not original. It was custom fabricated to spec to replace a damaged original and performs exactly as intended. FYI, I have a duplicate for sale separately in case you’d want a back up for this impossible to find cable (without spending a small fortune). Comes with 6 CAMAC to RCA adaptors. This does not have a phono stage.

This will be carefully shipped. If you want more detailed technical information (and a substantially higher price) you can find another on the 'bay. An adequate AI description:
