Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal?
Just had my Levinson 23.5 serviced by an authorized Levinson repair center with many years of experience, capacitors were replaced not the big blue capacitors the medium smaller ones on the board 680UF 100V and other small transistors and resistor... 
WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5
Back from Technetron listening to my system now with a big fat smile on my face. They did an outstanding job, the facility is not large its NYC space, the rooms were narrow, I was worried about scratches and dents but I found nothing they were ver... 
WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5
I read your post and that made me post mine because we both have the same exact problem lolI will add one thing for you since we have a close system as well, I had the 380S and upgraded to the 32, its a big step in price but I will never sell my 3... 
WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5
OK here is my 2 cents, bought a 23.5 used about 7 years ago on Audiogon for $2500 I would rather live on the streets before selling it, this amplifier was used for many hours every day always gave me chills. I had it in storage for 2 years due to ... 
JL Audio F113 or F112 For Dynaudio Confidence 5
Wow, thanks for the education, this message board has helped me understand many things I didn't know. I notice the Rel's sell instantly when they come up on audiogon, JL audio sell very well also, their seems to be more JL subs available on the us... 
JL Audio F113 or F112 For Dynaudio Confidence 5
Thanks for all the advice, It seems that Jl Audio and Rel will be on my list for Subs. Rel B3 and Jl Audio F112. Two subs are better than one, makes allot of sense however My living room will look like an electronic store. Compact furniture design... 
Mark Levinson 32 or Audio Research Reference 3
Thanks Raquel, very informative, you just made it more complicated, I had 2 preamps to choose from now I have over 10 after reading your post, lol.I use balance interconnects at home, I never experienced Tubes before, always had solid state, the u... 
JL Audio F113 or F112 For Dynaudio Confidence 5
Thanks for all the advice, I might have to go for two F110 if that is the case. I have no space and electric outlets for two large subs. Must be nice to have a large home :-) 
Mark Levinson 32 or Audio Research Reference 3
I would like to thank everyone for the input. I chose these two preamps because they have an excellent resale value and they are highly praised and desired. I read the reviews all over the internet and these two units received the highest remarks.... 
Mark Levinson 32 or Audio Research Reference 3
I never had a Tube component in my house before. The AR REF3 is priced right and it seems to be a safe purchase. The Levinson 32 is a little harder to find and costs a little more. They are both Reference preamps, I don't know what to expect since... 
JL Audio F113 or F112 For Dynaudio Confidence 5
Can Rel still be serviced in the USA if it breaks? 
JL Audio F113 or F112 For Dynaudio Confidence 5
Which REL Model are you referring to? 
JL Audio F113 or F112 For Dynaudio Confidence 5
Can someone confirm the f112 being more musical than the F113 on a one on one comparison? I understand that 2 subs will give me the best results but money is tight right now and I cannot see myself buying 2 subs right now, however I am missing the... 
Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE vs. Contour 140
Never heard the 140 but I own the 1.3SE and they are the best bookshelf speaker I have ever heard. I also have the Confidence 5 but that whole different level. I am tempted to get the C1 and compare them to the 1.3SE 
These new POLK LSiM's look tempting
I agree, the Confidence 5 is heaven on earth, I love them. Still working on proper cable and setup. The Mids and Highs are to die for, the Bass is very good but unlike the other drivers they are not forgiving, it has to be perfect to get them to s...
