About the No. 38
The Mark Levinson No. 38 is a high-end stereo preamplifier with a fully balanced dual-mono architecture and a true two-channel gain stage. Digital control is used to affect the analog signal without digitizing the audio. It provides two stereo balanced XLR inputs, four single-ended RCA inputs, and a Mark Levinson Link communications connector. Outputs include balanced stereo main outputs (XLR), single-ended stereo main outputs (RCA), and two stereo record outputs (RCA). The No. 38 features programmable input level offsets, 22 user-defined input labels, and a user-selectable mute level from 1 to 60 dB, along with a 0.1 dB volume control increment with acceleration for quick adjustments.
