Amp repair cost — is this right?
Great to hear!  I'm assuming since you mention Texas that you sent your 380S to Pyramid for repair?  I have the same preamp but so far so good.Although it cost an arm and a leg to fix from Pyramid, my Levinson 23.5 amp is sounding phenomenal. 
Amp repair cost — is this right?
I just did a 7 year restoration on a car with completely new panels and massive welding and rust repair.  The car drives and rides tighter than new.You get what you pay for.  And some people don't subscribe to a throwaway, disposable use culture. ... 
Amp repair cost — is this right?
I finally received my Levinson 23.5 back from Pyramid Audio in Austin Texas.  The left channel went out back in May, I got it packed up and shipped in early June, and got it back right before Halloween.  They had some difficulty with the repair be... 
Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles?
To the original poster of this thread, if you don't have a computer science degree then you are not worthy of posting on audiogon or accessing the internet.Good bye 
WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5
Thanks, I will have to take a look but honestly it isn't just about the sound with me, it is also the design aesthetic of this era of Levinson.  And I also like having two of the "S" version components in my system.

Thanks for sharing that info.  Pyramid told me the same about not needing to replace the big capacitors.  I haven't heard an update from them yet on the repair.My gear:Levinson 23.5Levinson 37 transportLevinson 360S d/a Levinson 380S preampEnergy ... 
WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5
I sent my Levinson 23.5 to Pyramid Audio about 2 weeks ago because the left channel was popping and crackling, and even going out completely sometimes.  They just called yesterday to confirm the issue from their diagnosis and that it is time for t... 
Vivaldi, played badly, is the worst classical music on earth
Having played Vivaldi violin concertos myself, I take exception to the bashing of his music.  I always loved it especially this piece.Watch "Suzuki Violin Book 4, #4: Vivaldi Concerto in Am, 1st mvt." on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/b54VwY6gJv4 
Schiit just got real...
OP, I read your post and it might as well be a different language!  No idea what you're talking about, maybe I need to get out more. 
WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5
I read this thread with a lot of interest and appreciated all of the responses, even the naysayers.  I bought a 23.5 last Fall as part of the system I put together that was purposely vintage 90's gear (380s preamp, 360s dac, 37 transport).  My goa... 
Is it even possible to set up a system in 12x12 room?
I have a 9 1/2 by 14 feet room with 9 foot ceilings so I too am interested in the advice and example setups in this thread.  My speakers are going to be quite large and honestly too big for the room but I'm hopeful that when installed I can get th... 
Hopefully easy question: speaker cable spade size
Finally broke down and called Mark Levinson and they said 8mm. 
Hopefully easy question: speaker cable spade size
I thought about it but not sure they want to answer tech questions about stuff they sold 25 years ago. 
Quarantine/Vetting by Admin prior to allowing "Company Is Dead" Threads to go live
I'm brand new here and can vouch for the SEO and google hits that brought me (as I've been researching my dream mid 90's system that I can now afford to put together).  Although I don't like heavy handed forum moderation, I abhor clickbait titles ...
