After a long, long sleep: ML-335


I’m the current caretaker for my pop’s (RIP) Mark Levinson ML-335. It has been in its box for 25+ years and I’d like to put it into my current system. (ARC SP11 Mk2/Acoustat 1+1) After sitting for so long I’m a little leary of just installing it and throwing the power switch. 

Am I being overly cautious or not paranoid enough?

Thanks! 

Happy listening

@mofimadness i think that amp needs some larger panels to take advantage of all that power.  I have Spectra 33's along with a pair of TNT200'S, monoblockeded. Everything modified and upgraded by Roy Esposito.

That's a BEAST of an amp.. I would be willing to trade my 2 amps for that Beast... Would love to hear that on my panels ...

@gumbedamit...totally agree!  More panels are ALWAYS better!!!  That is indeed a fantastic amp.  

Your Spectra 33's are one of favorite Acoustats.  Only surpassed by the 66's.  

Nice system!  Roy does excellent work.

@musicfan2349   I seem to remember an article i read saying Levinson (Harmon) no longer services ML amps that are older than before Harmon purchased Madrigal Audio Labs which included Levinson--ie amps they didn't manufacture--but Harmon will refer owners to a third-party expert to fix/service--you should call them first to see if that's true or my memory is failing (which it is ever more every day!)
