| Levinson 20.5 monos - Time for a Refurb? Nothing to apologize for, Herman. But I must tell you I have a lot of confidence in Lamm's products.Ed | |
| Levinson 20.5 monos - Time for a Refurb? Good question, Nsgarch. I have not read all of his interviews, but it is not answered in FAQ on his website. An Audiogoner wrote somewhere in the discussions section that he bought the M1.2 hybrids and then had thoughts about selling them and buyi... | |
| Levinson 20.5 monos - Time for a Refurb? Herman,I did get to listen to a pair of 20.6s at my dealer's that just came back from a Levinson refurb. They got better over a period of 72 hours of re-break-in and they did sound very good, but still recognizable as 20.5/20.6s. I can't say that ... | |
| Levinson 20.5 monos - Time for a Refurb? No, I'm going to sell the 20.5s sometime soon. I have just been keeping them to try to get a fix on the differences between the M1.2s and the 20.5s.Ed | |
| Levinson 20.5 monos - Time for a Refurb? Guys, here's the conclusion to this story. As I was trying to decide whether to leave my still steller performing 20.5s alone or to spring for the $$, give them up for a month and send them to Levinson for a preventive maintenance refurb, I notice... | |
| Transparent Phono Cable Many thanks, Larry, for cluing me in to the Cable Cooker. It sounds like an indispensable piece of gear.Tim, the SRA Craz racks are definitely the real deal. Instantly transformed my system into a world class sounding system. I think there may be ... | |
| Transparent Phono Cable Dan,Please say it ain't so! Several hundred hours? That's like 500 to 700 hours. By the time I break in and listen to half a dozen cables it will be time to retip the cartridge!!!BTW, my two SRA Craz Reference isoRACKS arrived today. I ordered the... | |
| Transparent Phono Cable Hello again, guys.Well, the cartridge issue is resolved for now. I got the XV1S. My SRA Craz racks and the Graham Phantom are due to arrive on Thursday. I have also replaced my Levinson 20.5s with Lamm M1.2 Reference hybrids which also are due to ... | |
| Levinson 20.5 monos - Time for a Refurb? Okay, you guys have done a really great job of giving me the pros and cons of going ahead or not going ahead with sending my 20.5s to Levinson for their first ever checkup and any parts replacement necessary to put them back on spec. I really do a... | |
| Levinson 20.5 monos - Time for a Refurb? Even though the 20.6 update was only one circuit board, Levinson no longer provides the update.To be clear, as far as I can tell by listening, there is nothing wrong with my 20.5s. However, as I said I love them and 16 years of Class A heat is a l... | |
| Plastic CD inserts for DIY Built-in CD rack Thanks, Ed. Rockler may work out.Ed | |
| Transparent Phono Cable Sirspeedy,My best friend passed away a week before my Mom last August. He had a theory that life's journey was series of upswings and downswings. When you are on an upswing, almost everything goes right for you, but when you are on a downswing alm... | |
| Levinson 20.5 monos - Time for a Refurb? Here's my update. I talked with ML via Harmon. As expected the phone tech (Jaime) said that if they are 16 years old and have never been serviced, they should definitely come in for inspection and maintenance. He said they recommend that you send ... | |
| Transparent Phono Cable Sir Speedy,I know how you feel, I lost my Mom last August (I lost my Dad many years ago). It is very hard to lose a parent. I still miss her very much, especially on Saturdays because we almost always had lunch together, just the two of us (my wif... | |
| Levinson 20.5 monos - Time for a Refurb? Thanks, guys.I think I will talk to Levinson. Well, Phd, they have been played at least 2 to 5 hours a day almost every day for the last 16 years. |
