At a Levinson crossroads .... need advice.
Thanks for all the responses. At this point I think I will compare my Levinson No.37 to having a crazy, hot girlfriend. The transport is really attractive to me. In fact when placed on top of the 360S ... downright sexy BUT it's unpredictable and ... 
Long run USB and other questions...
