Mark Levinson Repairs

I do not know if it is worth repairing a 25 year old amplifier.  Obviously, you have to get an estimate to repair your current Levinson 331 amp.   

This raises several questions.  Are comparable parts available to make the needed repairs and, if repaired, how long will it last?   Does the Tech have the needed skills to make these repairs.   Will the amp require additional repairs in the short term.  Are the other parts in the amp, wires, caps, etc. okay or do they also need work.  Your estimate needs to a complete checkup of your amp. Will the repaired amp sound as good as the original amp?  

If you decide to purchase a new amp, will you get better performance and how much will it cost.

The most common problem with these amps is the capacitors. This is a very well known problem. Over time they leak and need to be replaced. If the leaking is bad, that may cause problems with some of the boards. Sourcing high quality replacements has been an issue over the years.

There is also a rubber damping strip that can melt over time and leak onto components, although the caps are the most common problem.

Call the authorized repair places above and get estimates. Sometimes it is a flat rate, sometimes it is a flat labor rate plus parts. Shipping is also not trivial. My information is several years old, so give them a call and get the current situation.

If you search on Levinson equipment for sale there is a guy who buys non-working equipment.

Glad I own Bryston amps. They will fix any amp they built.

The 331 is a very nice amp. worth sending it in to George Myers. It punches above its weight when running properly. They can fix it.

Again, George Myers AV is an authorized Mark Levinson Service Center.

I've had a few Mark Levinson Amps repaired there.  Along with Audio Research projects.

They are excellent.

Give them a call.
