| Handling Heavy Amps As someone now over 70, I enjoyed this discussion as it certainly applies to me. My story: Bought two very heavy Mark Levison 23 amps nearly 30 years ago and put them up on a shelf with no help. Just recently had minor service to them. It was a... | |
| Did my preamp short kill my Mark Levinson amps and Infinity Beta servo ? The pre-amp was a vintage (about 25 years old) Klyne.....which I believe is an absolutely wonderful solid state pre-amp for the price point and for my level of "audiophileness". It was repaired and is back to sounding great. I blame myself more ... | |
| Did my preamp short kill my Mark Levinson amps and Infinity Beta servo ? Thanks. Will look into that.....however, the servo unit was given a clean bill of health as it worked in another beta set up with no issues. It might be something bad happened to the one servo-controlled/feedback woofer in one of the columns as ... | |
| Did my preamp short kill my Mark Levinson amps and Infinity Beta servo ? Tried that....with two different power amps, once of which had a volume control i could slowly turned up output before trouble. Same loud ...and I mean weapon of mass destruction loud...even blew off the dust cap on the servo wired woofer....wit... | |
| Did my preamp short kill my Mark Levinson amps and Infinity Beta servo ? Update on saving the betas: PS Audio no longer works on the IRS Servo controller, however "magicmarksy" (ebay name) is someone to contact for work on this unit....and by the looks of what he has refurbished and lists for sale, a definite high... | |
| "Can You Lift Yours?" Placed two Mark Levinson No23's on a high shelf 25 years ago by myself...at 70 lbs each....and did not touch them until recently. My two sons-in-law got them down. In another system I have a single Bryston 4B cubed coming in at 42 pounds. At my... | |
| Did my preamp short kill my Mark Levinson amps and Infinity Beta servo ? Update: I replaced a fuse in the Hafler and it came back to life. I hooked up one of the ML No23....the one that was not connected to the servo crossover...to another system and that is working (I did not realize the switch has a "reset" protecti... | |
| Did my preamp short kill my Mark Levinson amps and Infinity Beta servo ? I am afraid so. Hooked up a heavily modified but sweet soundng Hafler 500 to the servo and new pre-amp....and that killed a channel in the Hafler....so I am thinking something went very bad with that servo as well. After everything working perfe... | |
| Who repairs Klyne preamps? Yes. Thanks. I did hear back from him. | |
| Chicken or egg question Thanks much for the suggestion, however, that not working No.23 is very not working.....will not power up. Now, can I ask a couple of forum readers to come to my house to help get that monster off a high shelf where I put that amp almost 30 years... | |
| Who repairs Klyne preamps? Never mind. I did hear back from Klyne and they gave me their address to send my unit. | |
| Who repairs Klyne preamps? That I did....and people on this forum in past two years also have tried with no response, so just hoping someone knows a place | |

| How Many Turntables Have You Owned Elac Miracord changer in 60’s.Cheap Pioneer belt drive in 70’s.Linn Sondek LP12 early 80’s and still playing. | |
| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? Bought mint used Infinity IRS Beta’s over twenty years ago. They are still mint and will never sell them unless someone wants to downsize from their IRS V’s. Wish my hearing was improving, not declining. |
