Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow?

Levinson 331/332/333/335/336 and 33H used Philips Capacitors these caps were made in China. They are junk.
Two years ago i purchased a Levinson 331 with humming from left channel for $1100 including shipping on Ebay. I replaced all 8 filter caps with USA made high end Cornell Dubilier and sold it on ebay for 2500 dollars.

Levinson is a very good amp. I have sold quality high end USA made caps for all of these Levinsons. All of these amps are working great. These caps are special order item from CDE,Nichicon and Tech Cap.

IVROBINSON. Your Levinson had the caps replaced I am sure you can sell it for much higher than 2100 dollars. Many will not buy these Levinson with out the cap replacemet.
Levinson repair center charges 1800 to 30000 for this job. Also they use United Chemicon caps for replacement. The Cornell Dubilier is lot better cap for filter supply.

Abruce- Your Levinson 332 filter caps are going bad. Either one of the 50000uF/100V Philips Filter cap or 1900uF/150V Regulator caps need to be replaced. You need to replace all 8 caps in filter supply so the amp will never have any problems.

To replace all 8 Caps it will cost about $700.
The original Philips filer caps can be replaced with USA made Cornell Dubilier with higher capacitance with 125V surge. Also the original Philips 1900uF/150V small regulator caps can be replaced with Cornell Dubilier cap at 1900uF/250V. These caps are special ordered from factory.

I have these caps. You can send the amp to me i will repair it. But the problem the amp total weight is over 150 pounds. Very expensive to ship. Your best choice is to have a local tech replace the caps to keep the expenses very low.

I recommend not using Levinson 332 any more. The reason if the caps explode it will take out the three surge resistors on the VSMB board. Then you have to replace many other parts including surge resistors and many small caps 68uF/63V and .01uf. 680uF on VSMB and VG Boards.

I am located in St Paul Minnesota. You can always send it to Levinson repair center. But very expensive for shipping and repair.
