Mark Levinson No5805 Integrated Amplifier Review w/ Upscale Audio's Kevin Deal 

I will never be able to afford hi-fi gear like this, but I just find it really entertaining listening to someone with so much enthusiasm and personality talking about great kit!

Yep. Always impressed with ML gear at shows. Excellent dynamics are always present.

That was the first amp to sound like tubes thanks to John Curl. Who had to find a tube sound for Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia loved tube sound but those amps couldn't handle the moves from one event to another. That was the beginning of Mark Levinson.

Best electronics, we have a ML 585.5, a sort of "big brother" to the 5805. Amazing company and customer service.

Many years ago I did a property inspection of the manufacturing facility. Unbelievable. Capacitors the size of Coke cans! The monoblocks needed 60 amp electrical outlets.

I love this channel and how this guy presents HiFi gears. Is it possible you review the Yamaha A-S3000 and Yamaha A-S3200 ? Both are flagship integrated Amplifiers. Amazing.

Can I ask this question? What customer would this be for Vs. the prima Luna customers?

This integrated amp is amazing; seems like a great value for what you get, not to mention it's a ML!. Will the MC phono be able to handle a Lyra Delos? Keep up the reviews!!!!!

ML has amazing customer service.

As always this is another great informative video. But how does this amplifier stand against PrimaLuna Evo 400 integrated amplifier, which costs almost 50% less?

Great video again, thanks! The first brand that comes to my mind when it comes to dropping the noice level is HEGEL. H390🤩 H590🤤

I'm the same way about "control stuff" haha. Give me high quality parts and good sound quality, and I'm happy.

This guy can sell anything

Mark Levinson Rules !!!!

So how's the amp listening notes compared to primaluna evo 400?

I'm gonna buy this so I can get some balls. My wife has my first pair somewhere.

Apart from the DAC and other things on the ML, Does this amp sound better than the NAIM SUPERNAIT 3 ?

How would this compare with an Audionet Sam 20 SE? that has a larger 700 VA toroid transformer slightly lower output at 200 Watts @ 4ohms 110 in 8? It also doen't have a Dac. Preamp is trick too it is set up with the volumne controll in the back where the imputs so it has a lower path to go and is built in with a motorized ALPS pot. You just use the remote to controll it. This is more like a nicer Hegel h190 too? Hard to compare amps need to AB things.

How does this amp compare to the cambridge audio edge a thanks

I have not won the lottery so the Mark Levinson is only a dream.

ML needs a 25W Class A integrated to compete w Luxman 590AXII. Remember the ML2 Class monoblocks of yesteryear.

I want the ML H33.

Darned good bargain for 8K....

Larger, higher-res photos on the site, please.👍😉

I have a question for ML 5805. Will it be able to comfortably drive JBL L100 Classic? I have the speakers and I find them difficult to drive. I tested them with cheaper alternatives than ML 5805 that were 200W into 4 ohms and they didn't make the speakers come alive, the bass driver was struggling. Cheaper integrated amplifiers with 100W into 8 ohms can't drive those speakers at all. What concerns me is that this amp is only 130W into 8 ohms and 210W into 4 ohms. It has the weight and build quality to provide a lot of current. but I want to ask what your experiences are with this amp and JBL L100 Classic compared to for example ML 585 or other amplifiers? I am saving money for a major purchase and want to make sure that I am going in the right direction. Thank you very much for your help! Marcin

How does this compared to the 585?

I remember that phono stage and hate that I didn’t buy it at the time.

VS Naim supernait 3 ?

He's an amazing salesperson. Hire him.

Can you review the ML 331? Wanted to know your opinion before getting one please. Thank you.

Wouldnt a TRUE Dual Mono have 2 Transformers like say, oh, the Michi X5?

Man I wish I could afford some of the shit u probably got in ur attic.

Never buy anything with a DAC tacked onto it. We are living in a golden age of rapidly improving DACs and having an external DAC is more fun and it is likely to sound better.

All that balanced circuitry and no balanced digital input? That's a first in a mark Levinson product.

Overcharge.

Д****** ты звук включи мои без тебя разберёмся что хорошо что плохо

You make me nervous moving your hands like a gay...can you speak like a man??
