MARK LEVINSON ML-7
¥ 1,180,000 (released in 1980)
Commentary
This is a control amplifier that uses a plug-in configuration as an expanded module in the amplifier circuit, breaking away from the module format that characterized the Levinson Pre.
The ML-7 consists of the main unit (ML-7) and power supply unit (PLS-154).
Four plug-ins, two phono amplifiers and two line amplifiers, are used.
The phono amp had an optional high-gain L3 plug-in that could be connected directly to an MC cartridge.
