Mark Levinson No.37 and 36s Vurs ML 39 CD Player

First off why would you want to do that? Not thats it isnt a good idea but why? I would and here is why, Levinson just released the replacement for the 39 called the 390s and it is much improved over the 39. The 39 is a great player as it is. So can you imagine it to sound even better? I own a 39 and love it the way it is. I will upgrade mine down the road. It costs 1,800 Also the 39 sounds great when ran directly to your amp. Good Luck no matter what you do you have a great front end

If you would consider the new 390s, I would go that route over either of the other choices. The 390s uses the Anagram chipset which is a HUGE leap in digital. If it has to be between the 39 and the 36/37 combo, I would go 36/37.

Don't take my word as the final answer, but it seems I remember my dealer telling me that a 39 used the same transport mechanism as the 37 and the same DACs as a 36, just in a single box. If that is true, you would be going from a 36S to a 36 plus you would lose the benefits of the separate power supplies. It seeems like a step back to me. Perhaps some one more Levinson savy could verify or refute this.
