Yes, his company makes boutique expensive audio gear which propagates high end audio madness. However, his gear at least seems well engineered and built with good measurements. You can buy something "sonically equivalent" (whatever that means) for a lot less money, but if you do buy his expensive gear at least you're not getting something bad. That said, I've only seen a few of his products measured and reviewed over the years so maybe I'm missing some flagrant counterexample.
This makes Mark Levinson at least interesting, in that it's not a clear-cut case of audio charlatan.
