What ever happened to Mark Levenson?
Think Mark is currently still pushing his newest endeavor, Daniel Hertz… when last I heard.Never read anything in the industry about Mark Levenson’s current proprietary line. Mark is a controversial figure in Audio but still an undisputed legend. His interesting and rather amazing multi page bio is on DanielHertz dot com. Did you know that Mark’s great uncle was Heinrich Hertz?
In 2014, I helped him with his room at the Vegas T.H.E. Show.
The complete top line Daniel Hertz full system is about $300K but it is about the best sound I have ever heard. Big, musical, real.
The DH front end is a Mac using Master Class soft wear directly to his DAC. First time I heard great digital.
Whenever Mark is not selling DH to Russian oligarchs, he spends his time between his home in Switzerland and boat in Venice with his Russian model wife and his 11 year old son… when last I heard.

I spent an interesting afternoon in Mark Levinson's NYC store many years ago. I was there with an audio-reviewer friend who knew Mark. The most interesting part of the visit was when Mark left us in his studio for an hour with instructions to play with any of the equipment we so desired ! The special piece in the room that day was his new Nagra reel-to-reel digital recorder ! He had the ability to insult you to your face and yet you went away not being offended ! An interesting guy ! I have several of his recordings both on vinyl and on CD and find them unremarkable both sonically [too dry] and musically. My reviewer friend owned quite a few pieces of Mark's equipment, most of which I thought sounded on the "sterile" side, but the build was excellent ! I think that Dan D'Agostino stole Mark's "Crown" when he started the Krell company. Interesting times ! What a great hobby ! |
re: " spends his time... with his Russian model wife and his 11 year old son...". - and he was married to KIm Cattrall, the beautiful star of "Sex and the City". He (and Kim) wrote this book. Maybe he knows something we don't... https://www.amazon.com/Satisfaction-Female-Orgasm-Kim-Cattrall/dp/0446530719/ref=sr_1_2?Search=%C2%A... |
