JC-2 PREAMPLIFIER

1. INTRODUCTION

The MARK LEVINSON JC-2 PREAMPLIFIER is the distillation of years of

scientific research and careful listening. The amplification circuitry

complementary push-pull operation, high open-loop bandwidth, and low

feedback configurations in order to approach perfect solid-state pre-

amplification of the most demanding recorded musical material. Hand-

matched active and passive components not previously used in consumer

audio equipment eliminate subtle forms of error and distortion which

plague sensitive ears.

Mark Levinson Audio Systems utilizes the finest test equipment in its

product development program. More significantly, a large number of our

staff participate in the evaluation of these developments and refine-

ments. When a product is made available, it is only after it has proved

itself on a wide variety of sophisticated sound systems. To realize the

full potential of these developments is a laborious and difficult task.

But - here is a true designer’s choice for the classic system.
