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

@musicfan2349...you sure have more will power than I.  I would have had that amp up and running minutes after I got home.  Patience I have not. 🤪

Probably for the best to send it in.

Let us know the outcome...

@mofimadness believe me, until I posted here I was on course for exactly that!

However, sometimes I actually use my big head to think things through. 25 years is a long time for electronics to lie dormant, especially something as sophisticated as this. It might've worked. Or I may have courted disaster needlessly. Some of those boards are unobtanium... So I wanted to do it right. 

Besides, the thought of facing pop in the afterlife if I blew up his stuff doesn't bear considering! 😏

Happy listening.
