Keep in mind that Harmon/Levinson will not service your amp. You will have to find a 3rd party. I had and still do (mothballed) a 27.5. With Madrigal Labs out of the picture, I have abandoned ML/Harmon and would never consider them for a product purchase. For me, I went to Pass Labs XA series of amps that can be had at a good price if you buy used/demo. They sound better than any class A/B Levinson ever could. YMMV
Levinson 27.5 to 335
Looking for some answers/opinions. I am going to get a used Levinson 335 loaner from my local (and fantastic) audio shop and I have a few questions.
1. Does this model amp have the capacitor problems that were found in the earlier 300 series amps?
2. Has anyone had any problems with the 335?
3. I plan on using it in a dedicated 110V circuit. Should it be 220V?
4. What types of sound differences are you experiencing between these two amps?
I will obviously listen for myself because I realize that #3 is very subjective.
My associated equipment is:
ML380S
ML36S
ML37
ML 27.5 (for now)
Nakamichi DR-1
Kimber KS2120 Digital
Kimber KS3038 balanced interconnects
Kimber KS1010 for Nak
Kimber KS3035 speaker
Synergistic AC couplers and Transparent power cords
Hydra 8 for source
Thanks all!
