Mark Levinson New 600 Series Redefines Reference Hi-Fi
Mark Levinson has used the stage of HIGH END Munich 2025 to introduce its new 600 Series — a trio of flagship components designed to deliver what the company calls the next generation of reference performance.
Comprising the № 626 Dual-Monaural Preamplifier, № 632 Dual-Monaural Amplifier, and the top-tier № 631 Monaural Amplifier, the new models mark a bold new chapter in the brand’s five-decade legacy of high-fidelity excellence.
Speaking to StereoNET at the event, Jim Garrett, Senior Director of Product Strategy and Planning at HARMAN Luxury Audio, described the 600 Series as “more than technical excellence — it’s about capturing the emotion, power, and nuance of a musical performance with breathtaking clarity.” He added that the new lineup “pays tribute to our legacy while setting out to exceed the expectations of the most discerning listeners.”
Designed, engineered, and assembled in the USA, each model is based on Mark Levinson’s proprietary Pure Path circuit philosophy and wrapped in the brand’s latest Tectonic industrial design—machined aluminium, glowing red signature lighting, and volcanic glass elements all underscore the visual drama. This high-end hi-fi is built to make a statement before a note is played.
At the centre of the new range is the № 626 Dual-Monaural Preamplifier. It combines a fully balanced analogue architecture with a high-performance digital core centred around the Precision Link III DAC. With support for up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and native DSD via six digital inputs, the № 626 is ready for both legacy and next-gen sources. It also features a Pure Phono MM/MC stage and Class A headphone amplifier, offering broad compatibility in a chassis built for isolation, stability, and sonic purity.
For amplification duties, the № 632 and № 631 are designed to deliver unrelenting power with grace. The № 632 offers dual-mono operation in a stereo format, while the flagship № 631 is a dedicated monaural amplifier engineered to drive the most demanding loudspeakers with full authority. Both amplifiers operate in Class A/AB, leveraging high-capacity toroidal power supplies and fully balanced signal paths to achieve Mark Levinson’s trademark resolution and dynamic range. The company says these amplifiers deliver music with dimensionality, tonal depth, and impact that leaves nothing behind.
The Mark Levinson 600 Series made its world debut at HARMAN’s “Summit of Sound” event during the opening day of HIGH END Munich 2025, held in Atrium 4.1, Room E119. A keynote, exclusive listening sessions, and a private reception gave attendees a first-hand experience of the new range in action.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
