$25k in today’s dollars to match the performance of a 332... are you confusing this amp for the No. 33 monos? Even the 33’s couldn’t hold up to say a Pass 250.8 among a ton of other amps under $10k in today dollars. It’s a good amp but if it hasn’t been recapped I wouldn’t touch it and even then I’d look at newer offerings, from Pass, Parasound, ModWright, Coda and many, many more for SS.
Mark Levinson 332 - Buying decision
Hello All,
Happy HolidaysStumbled upon a Mark Levinson 332 for sale.Seller confirms there is no thump when powering on or off. No hum reported and unit is silent when powered.However on checking with him for pops he reports a slight pop when powering on(also mentions handful of relays clicking on at same time)
Please let me know if pop is normal when powering up.? How many speaker protection relays does Mark Levinson 332 have?.
I dont want to buy it and end up with a $2.5k worth door stopper. Request your inputs.

Thanks gs5556 for detailed information. I remember reading here that caps cost around $500. https://brainlubeonline.com/mlrepair/ How much of a job is it for an amatuer like me to change caps. I have opened old amps and fixed dry solders in past. Alternatively how reliable are Krell Class A’s? Is 300c or 300cx another high maintenance amp which requires constant visits to service and costing $$$$ just to keep em running. |
