Mark Levinson No36s

Any opinions on the matching No37 transport ? is the optical laser still available ? i guess that the No37 would be a perfect match ! Cheers for all your advice so far it is much appreciated .

When I owned my 36s I also owned the matching 37 transport for the ten or so years I owned the Mark Levinson DAC and transport. I never had a problem with the laser so I can not comment on the laser. Mine always worked. There were a few transports which had drawer problems. It would be a good thing to check.

for xa5400es 230v, try dnet24.de - just use paypal to skip the slow email responses. minus 19% germany tax the price is attractive with the current euro exc rate.

wps

Junchoon2989,

I can't speak German, and would also very much like to get an XA5400ES!

How reliable is dnet24?
And how do you use PayPal to pay for this and deduct the 19% German tax...?

Many thanks for your help!

Model102,

neither can i speak German!

if u ship it out of Germany the final price (also the postage) will be deducted 19% local Germany tax. to be sure, just register your mailing address and u will know if there is tax or not, when u put item in their virtual basket. dnet24 is pretty reliable meaning to say they are not a fraud, but email responses are really slow! they do speak English, so u might call them if u r not sure.

i made a mistake of using bank transfer thinking it will save some exchange rate commission compared with PayPal. but in the end their Germany local bank require 2.5% service charge, the order was delayed. i paid for the service charge via paypal!

they don't double box though the original Sony box is pretty sturdy. shipping cost to Malaysia is about 75euro after deducting the tax on postage.

whatever u decide, good luck finding a 230v version!

wps
