A few years back I reviewed the Mark Levinson No 433 multi-channel amplifier and called it "...a reference point from which all other cost-no-object amps must be judged." High praise, but then again the No 433 warranted it for at the time it was arguably the best amplifier the folks over at Mark Levinson had ever made. That was over two years ago. Since then, the No 433 has been discontinued and in its absence a bevy of phenomenal amplifiers from some of Mark Levinson's biggest rivals has hit the market. In some cases the competition has taken over the bar set by the venerable No 433 and launched into the cosmos. Would Mark Levinson be able to reclaim the magic of the No 433 with their newest line of amplifiers, the No 500H Series, specifically the No 533H reviewed here?
