Mark Levinson Audio Systems and Cello, Ltd.
Mark Levinson developed an early interest in highest quality analog audio recording. Along with his uncompromising LNP-2 pre-amplifier, Mark’s effort to improve on the audio signal circuitry found in Studer's popular A80RC recorder-reproducer brought him international recognition. At his later company, Cello, Ltd., Mark continued pursuing the state of the art in analog audio, offering specialized circuitry for professional analog tape recording and playback on Studer’s A820 platform.

The Mark Levinson Audio Systems ML-5 Studer A80 RC conversion removed and replaced Studer’s audio signal path circuitry from input to output, retaining only the RC’s audio card frame, back-plane and recording bias amplifier. ML-5 circuitry was single-ended using Lemo connectors.
Following on from the earlier ML-5, Cello’s professional analog tape electronics were an attempt at state-of-the-art forty years ago. ATAE continues to support these classic products, still favored by some notable recording industry professionals today.
