Mark Levinson 32 and reliability


I'd like to buy one of these stunning preamps (used) but
someone told me that more than one 32 has given various
problems and it's not the most reliable ML preamp.
Any direct experience (positive or negative) with this model?
Thanks a lot in advance.

The No.32's definitely a big upgrade from No.380S even! I owned both for a couple of years. The No.32 is bullet-proof!

Like Earflappin, I eventually sold my No.32 to move to Boulder. And since then sold my Boulder to move to VTL 7.5

Earflappin,
I was curious with your comments on the Dartzeel.

I pitted the Boulder 2010 against the VTL 7.5 with good NOS tubes at home, the VTL was distinctly better... better macro/micro dynamics, significantly more transparent, less "HiFi"ish than the 2010!

Could I ask if you've had the VTL 7.5 in comparative auditioning against the Dartzeel, or did you only do that against the Boulder 2010?

Thanks.
