Help - Mark Levinson Owners


I am considering replacing the stock power cords on my Mark Levinson equipment and would like to get feedback on what other Levinson owners are using. To give you the full picture, my equipment consists of ML 32, ML30.6 and ML 31.5. I have a 20amp dedicated line using Beldon cable with Wattgate plug. I then have the three components running thru a Transparent PowerIsolator IV. I have two additonal 20amp dedicated lines with WattGate plugs for my Krell FPB 350MC monoblock power amps. They are also running thru seperate Transparent PIXL's. My cabling is all Transparent Reference XL and the speakers are Dynaudio Temptations. I want to maximize my system and get the most from it (ie dynamics, soundstage, presence).I like jazz, rock and new age. I am very happy with my equipment but am interested in seeing what powercords can offer. Thanks for your input.

Hi,

Your system is awsome, however the front end power cords are the most important cables in a system IMO and I think you really need to upgrade them. I have ML gear too although not from the refrerence series (390S/39, 331/333) and the best cables for this setup were Elrod Statements. (A big step up from EPS Sigs). I use a Statement II for the CDP, a Statement for the amp and an other Statetement to connect my PS Audio UPC 200 to the wall outlet. My other cables are Siltech former top of the line G3 Gold models. Truly amazing combination and I like it more than Tranpsarent, Shunyata, Nordost or Kimber. (BTW my speakers are Thiel CS6 and my tase is fast, dynamic, uncolored sound with no added artificial warmth, so my preference should be taken with this in mind.)

However, the new Transparent cables with MM technology are very-very good and my recommendation would be to try Transparent power cords because of system integrity. Your front end components really deserve something special. If I am right, the No. 32 regenerates power so it is not a major issue, however I would try a Transparent Super MM at least.

Good luck and please keep us posted as to how you proceed!
Trt the new Stealth Dream cords, better than a major component upgrade and just as costly.
I agree with Stealth Dream cords, they sound better than Shunyata and Elrods in my system.
I will throw another into the mix of great power cords, Try Purist Dominus or even the Aqueous. They did wonders for my ML's. Believe me I have tried many others & these were the best for my system.
