Mark Levinson has odd choice for cap upgrades in one of their service bulletins. Why?
@danpe1 It has been so long since I have had the covers off this monster I cannot really remember the caps you are referring to. Where are the caps located? Since the original is a Sprague you could find a suitable replacement from the The Vishay/... 
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
Was his reference the Cerwin Vega's standing behind him?!?! What finish is that black veneer or black carpet? I mean this guy couldn't even mic his video properly. I don't think he is so concerned with nuance.However, I will say that I am a little...

Can you take one of your new cables, put it on one channel and take one of the old cables and put it on the other channel and then make a high bitrate FLAC recording with this setup so the rest of us can hear what you are talking about? We have th...

@ @chazzzy007 Thank you for the feedback!  
Modifying my Mark Levinson 332 for a unique visual experience
After looking at your pictures I have to correct myself. Your boards look exactly like the 332 boards. Your model just has a higher number of output transistors. The 332 has 24. The 333 should have 32. The photos of ultra violent failures that hav...

Pyramid is one of the 3 or 4 authorized U.S. based ML centers.However mohit789 is in India so shipping a 150lb amp from India to Texas is a little silly. Pyramid does not sell any ML parts, not even a speaker binding post :(@mohit789...you cannot ...

@mohit789   You are in a very difficult situation. The ONLY way you are going to get any help from Harmon is by shipping your amp to them. An amp weighing 150lbs is not the easiest thing to safely ship. I don't think they will accept a shipment un... 
The Levinson Sound?
@333jeffery Would a Levinson 20.5 amp that's been recapped be worth consideration? Do they produce high current into low impedance speakers? Those are nice pieces and if taken care of are worth consideration, especially if the price is right. How... 
The Levinson Sound?
@hk_fan And once again you are wrong. My 336 caps failed which I returned to Levinson for repair and was told that ALL 3xx amplifiers suffered the same issue. It’s not the caps themselves, it’s the way they are used in the circuit which shortens t... 
The Levinson Sound?
Thank you for the kind words Jafant.I wish I could say this was a pet project for me. These legacy amps still command a good amount of cash.If I could buy more of them I would but people know ML quality and hang on to them. I wouldn't touch a newe... 
The Levinson Sound?
@jafant Do you know if the No. 383 Integrated Amp has the cap issue like th other "3" series products?I am not an ML expert by any means but my gut feeling tells me that this problem was limited to the 331, 332 & 333. The design of the electro... 
The Levinson Sound?
@jafant Which ML repair facility were you referring as above? I have been fortunate that my dealings with ML centers was minimal. I have not dealt with them anymore since I realized how they shut the world out for simple requests and simple parts....

I can remember the day, back in the late 70's that my Grandmother came home with her SX series Pioneer receiver. Grandma wasn't wealthy but she knew what she liked! That thing drove her over priced speakers into realms that, at that time, I could ... 
stereo receiver recommendations
Isn’t the Luxman R117 one of the most legendary receivers in audiophile circles? I mean for receivers, I think this thing is the holy grail for an integrated device. Have I owned one? No. But you can easily find tons of positive reviews on this fo...
