Any Issues with Levinson 37

Question : Does the 390s have the same drawer issues ??

Moemoney

The cost of my 37s new rubber band and "gelling" was the equivalent of $100.Servicing done by the official importers of Levinson gear to my country.

How can HSG ask $1000 for the equivalent service in the States ??

I have a 37 transport.

Issues : Drawer mechanism...sometimes need servicing because it has difficulty in opening(Needs to be "gelled and a new rubber band).Take it to my local importers/service centre,cost minimal and fast service(My Proceed CDD did the same)You need to establish if you have a dealer close to you that can do the servicing for you.If you need to send it to HSG the hassle and cost are going to be too much.In that case you need to consider the purchase carefully ....

Otherwise helluva good transport and built like a tank.I use a 36s dac with the 37 and a Stealth Varidig AES/EBU dic IC.To get the most out of ML equipment you need to run balanced cabling.

Another secret ~ spend more on the transport compared to the dac ...

I dont plan to change the 37 soon.

My Proceed CDD went for "the rubber band and gel" service once.My 37 needs to go back now for the third time.....This time due to my two year old daughters "interest" in my equipment.

Whether this is problematic or temperamental depends on your own personal view,I guess.

The point is,I bought it used,so the purchase price was good.Also,cant really go for anything else that is nearly as good ,because it will be much more expensive.So,I'm happy to keep it.Also,my servicing are inexpensive and fast.If iI,however, had to pay $1000 for the exercise,it would change my point of view completely !

Used "Mr Min" cleaning spray(general purpose cleaner,anti-static) on the transport tray.Used a soft cloth to wipe on the top,bottom and sides of the tray.The drawer opens and closes flawlessly now.The drawer also sounds much smoother/softer when opening and closing.Glad,because it saved me money and the inconvenience of being without the transport.This spray also gives a wonderful shine to the metal parts of audio equipment.I also used it on the paint work and chrome parts of my motorcycle ~ have not found anything else that can give such a lovely shine to those type of surfaces.

Maybe something to consider if you have a "sticky drawer" 37 ....
