After a long, long sleep: ML-335
I’m the current caretaker for my pop’s (RIP) Mark Levinson ML-335. It has been in its box for 25+ years and I’d like to put it into my current system. (ARC SP11 Mk2/Acoustat 1+1) After sitting for so long I’m a little leary of just installing it and throwing the power switch.
Am I being overly cautious or not paranoid enough?
Thanks!
Happy listening
@mofimadness i think that amp needs some larger panels to take advantage of all that power. I have Spectra 33's along with a pair of TNT200'S, monoblockeded. Everything modified and upgraded by Roy Esposito. That's a BEAST of an amp.. I would be willing to trade my 2 amps for that Beast... Would love to hear that on my panels ... |
@gumbedamit...totally agree! More panels are ALWAYS better!!! That is indeed a fantastic amp. Your Spectra 33's are one of favorite Acoustats. Only surpassed by the 66's. Nice system! Roy does excellent work. |
@mofimadness , if you come across some 66's please let me know... |
@musicfan2349 I seem to remember an article i read saying Levinson (Harmon) no longer services ML amps that are older than before Harmon purchased Madrigal Audio Labs which included Levinson--ie amps they didn't manufacture--but Harmon will refer owners to a third-party expert to fix/service--you should call them first to see if that's true or my memory is failing (which it is ever more every day!) |
