Mark Levinson 39

Lev, what the heck do you want? Why are you even asking the questions? You've said you're gonna get the Levinson, period. That being the case, all the rest of this is just mental masturbation, and that's probably why the respondees have been less than excited about it. But if you need your preferences validated, okay, here goes - The sonic improvement you'll experience with the all Levinson setup over that Theta hodgepodge will be stunning. Shocking. Absolutely amazing. Then, when you run the 39 direct, it will be even more shocking, stunning and amazing. It will absolutely blow away every combination of gear you have ever heard or imagined. And you are an absolute genius for marrying all this up to the sl3s. It's incredible. Bravo.

Feel good about it all now? Wonderful. Our job here is done.

Samuel:

May I direct your attention to the thread "Upgrade Advice" dated 3/12; and the thread "My Mark Levinson System Help" dated 4/9. It's said the man who forgets history is doomed to repeat it, it appears the man who doesn't know history is doomed to make a fool of himself. Well done!

As to your psychological diagnoses and proclivity to prescribe medications (regardless of how inappropriate they may be for the malady you misdiagnosed), you would be well served to get the requisite education before playing Doctor on the net. But thanks for your concern.

Lev - have you considered mail order for the 39? I gotta believe there's a dealer somewhere out there that would give you a decent return policy, particularly on this level of gear. (But really, you know what you want, stop agonizing and go for it!)
