Levinson 33H or 20.6


I can not decide between the 33H or the 20.6 amps. I have no way to demo both in my system at once. However, I have heard great things about both amps. The 20.6 is of coarse pure Class A, Levinson no longer builds a pure Class A amp. There is also a lot of talk about problems with the 33H due to a design flaw in there built in line conditioner. Any opinions would be great!

Rachmaninov,

I have had the 33H and it is a fine amp. The 20.6 is voiced a little warmer in my opinion. So it comes down to personal taste and synergy. I like the sound of the 33 and 33H's.

On a side note. The only problem that I have heard on the 33H and 33 series is that some capacitors tend to go bad on the board. Do not know which board it is and it is due to heat, I believe.

Regards

Johnny
