| MARK LEVINSON NO .333 AND NO .333.5 This Stereophile review describes the differences between the 331 and the 334, the .5 goes part way between and could be a DIY procedure. The sonics of the 331, 332 and 333 series was very similar . The 334, 335, and 336 series were more refined a... | |

| Should I repair my amp? Your Levinson without the repair is a boat anchor, on the other hand If you saw a Levinson 333.5 for sale for $2500 would you consider that reasonable.Just a thought. | |
| ARC Quality Issues Ref75 Ref5SE Ref10 I also have owned ARC amplifiers back to the D115 and had more than my share of problems with them and went to VAC. I owned an ARC VT200 mk2 and a Ref 110 with KT120 tubes both at the same time, then purchased a VAC Phi300.1. The VAC showed them b... | |
| Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin? Years ago I worked with a really nice deaf woman named Janice, we became good friends.
