| Mark Levinson 39 Drawer problem Update (as promised): Long story short: The 39 works again! I had several issues to deal with. First, I fixed a bad solder point with the result that the drawer started working (open and close). Then I had to deal with the non-spinning disk proble... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? Thank you both for your responses. I worked with tan extender as well but at then ensured that the router is in close proximity to the node2. I also discovered that the distance of my iPad (I am controlling the node2 with my iPad via Bluetooth) t... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? Joining the conversation as a relative newcomer to streaming: I am too coming from the analog end of the spectrum and about 18 months ago purchased a node 2. I am using an external DAC (Mark Levinson 30.5). While I am overall happy with the node 2... | |

| Mark Levinson 39 Drawer problem Michéllemost of my equipment s from the 90s as well and I am quite happy with it. I concur that subsequent research in semiconductors and circuit designs should yield to better audible results when comparing new products with the ones I own. On th... | |

| Mark Levinson 39 Drawer problem Michélleindeed a pity! I am going to replace one other component as a last resort. If that fails, I am doomed...S. | |
| Mark Levinson 30.5 DAC vs. current DACs? @creativepart: Interesting read! It seems that the upsampling definitely improves the sonic performance of the 20.6. So perhaps I should look into this further.Thanks for sharing this with me. | |
| Mark Levinson 39 Drawer problem @justmetoo:I already cleaned the rails/rod before. They were sticky, indeed. However, the posted results of my calibration process are from after the cleaning process.Thanks for your input. | |
| Mark Levinson 39 Drawer problem Agreed - Thanks | |
| Mark Levinson 39 Drawer problem emtreymuch appreciated! Unfortunately, I just tried the calibration procedure and I got "Failed" on the display. So I think I am doomed...And you are correct with the expensive service: A while ago, I had my 333 serviced. Good work - repaired, new... | |
| Mark Levinson 30.5 DAC vs. current DACs? emtreythanks. I appreciate your personal assessment and opinion. | |

| How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ? @mammothguy54es, thanks I thought about that as well. The only reason I did not do this was for visual appearance reason. I have seen dust covers made of plexiglass but they need to be placed somewhere when the turntable is in use... | |
| How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ? FWIW: I own a DDX-1000 for many years and so far have experienced the following issues:1. Strobe light failed (needed to fix internal circuit, this is not (!) the line (50/60Hz) frequency2. Speed adjustment: The pots needed cleaning once3. Bearing... |
