Mark Levinson № 5105

There are many music lovers who would not want to miss the perceived warmth and depth of analogue and who celebrate and cultivate the rituals associated with it. The Mark Levinson № 5105 turntable was developed with these people in mind. It attracts attention with its very reduced and high-quality appearance characterised by clear lines and a design language based on geometric shapes. The minimalist design was chosen to place the performance-oriented components centre stage. To avoid gaps at the surface edges, the chassis showcases an aluminium plinth precision machined from a single billet, which accounts for a large part of the turntable’s stately weight of 34 kg. In combination with the aluminium platter and three adjustable suspension feet, this makes the № 5105 exceptionally stable, ensuring that there is no interference from external vibrations that could affect the sound. The sharply contoured bead-blasted anodised aluminium front panels flow seamlessly into a glass display and aluminium bezel with buttons to match. The iconic gently curved “hourglass” signature profile is subtly interpreted in the platter weight and tonearm housing, ensuring a good grip and secure handling. The high-gloss black carbon fibre tonearm transitions to an aluminium headshell with finger lift for precise cartridge stability and sound pick-up precision. The distinctive platter mat is stylishly delivered in a 12" LP record jacket.
