Mark Levinson 23.5 or 27.5 owners


I have recently had my ML27.5 repaired, and I'm hearing some distortion most noticeable on female vocals but also soprano sax etc. What I'm also noticing is that after switching the amp off the red LED pilot light dims but does no go out completely and only will if I pull the power cable. The amp stood idle for about 9 years and can't remember if the LED always behaved that way. Anyone with the same amp able to comment.

Yes, that's not normal.  Probably a leaky power supply related capacitor is the cause.  

Bummer about your Levinson coming back from the repair shop and still having a few lingering issues.  The only two places I'd trust with repairing a vintage Levinson would be George Meyer here in Los Angeles, and 3MA in TX.  These are legit places; if they did the repair, they'll stand behind their work.  Good luck in chasing down the gremlins in your amp.
