Wow, thanks for the information. I mean, you can find working Levinson 23s for less than $1800 to $2500 but I suppose they would eventually have the same issues. Still, that seems disproportionate to the value. Yeah, I can't afford $2600-$5000 to have these pieces serviced. Ouch.
80s Levinson Gear - Best Repair/Refurbish?
Hey ’Goners, here’s the question: I have an ML-26 preamp, an ML-12 preamp, and an ML-23 power amp, all in need of various amounts of repair/refurbishing.
I’m in the Chicago area but there may be nothing local.
I’d appreciate suggestions for the best spot to have all this work done. I think the gear is worth it.
Thanks for the advice!

I see what you mean. Here's a quote from Pyramid: "So the bill for overhauling the No23 or No23.5 typically runs about $3000, maybe a fifth of the replacement cost." So is a refurbished ML 23 worth $15,000 or at least competitive with a $15k amplifier? That seems hard to believe, or they wouldn't be going for around $2000. |

Pyramid Audio, TX. I spoke to them yesterday regarding my ML no. 334 amplifier. They have engineers on hand to answer questions and the ability to make repairs. http://www.pyramid-audio.com/brands.html N |
