Any Issues with Levinson 37

I am looking into buying a used Levinson 37 transport where the number of hours on the unit is unknown. Everything seems to work fine (I have it out on loan), the drawer works smoothly and all the mechanics seem sound. Played a few disk and there were no problems.

I wanted to find out what types of issues people have had with this unit, is the laser and transport mechanism still made, etc. . . Just trying to find out what I am getting into. I do know it sounds wonderful.

Thank you.

I can much blame you mejames, these prices are crazy, I had to send in my 37 and my 360s in at the same time and I paid through the nose.

I owned a 37 transport and had problems with the drawer. I really liked some of the transports features especially the programmable CD memory.

Question : Does the 390s have the same drawer issues ??

When I had the 390s the only problem I had was that when you press the open button the draw would open then close on your finger as you attempted to remove the CD. Levinson also stated on there web sit and in many reviews that the 390s has the same transport as the 37.

Both, I and a friend have the 390s unit.We have logged about 3 yrs use.The units have been flawless,and based on the current "HOT" product of the month,in CD systems(Audio Aero/Linn/Wadia/Reimyo),of the one box variety,I just cannot help but to think the 390s is a bit of a "Bargain".Especially when one takes into account the quality of design and manufacture.The sound,to me,is wonderful.I really don't care if something else is a bit better.I have a great analog front end,to add a differing sonic viewpoint.Best regards to all!
