Mark Levinson 25 vs 25s vs JC-2

Dear Neil,

TT - Micro DDX1500 (Direct drive)
Cart- MC20 super
Speaker - Proac 2.5 ( change soon, think of Wilson Benesch Discovery or Wilson Audio Sophia)

One question: I would like to get the volume knok of 26s changed ( a scatch). No more avalaible in ML dealer in Hong Kong. Is this till avaliable in US ML dealer?

Hi Ken, Nice system. I would recommend the Wilson Benesch for good value. Sophia is not a good value. If you like the sound of Sophia better, then you should go for a Watt/Puppy, new or used.

As for the knobs, I would email ML customer support directly from their website. If they don't have replacements, you can probably have the old knobs refinished locally. They have been "bead blasted", a form of sandblasting. Contact a sandblaster, or someone who does custom magnesium automobile wheels. They should be able to help you.

Just a side note. The Fischer CAMAC adapters are $22.50 (maybe cheaper if you are a dealer) and I was told a minimum of $100 order.

I just ordered several CAMAC plugs to make some cables and also two adapters to fill the minimum order requirements so these prices are fresh. But again, maybe less $ if dealer.

At any rate, when dealing with ML equipment, the adapters cost is probably not much concern.

Thanks Neil,

Just wounder the ML23.5 can conrol the base of WB Discovery ( Isobaric bass is very hard to push ) I was told....

Whoaru - the last time I bought the Camac adapters was about 18 months ago, so they've probably gone up like everything else. Thank God they didn't raise their minimum to $200!! If you need to make up a minumum order, get some of the shorted Camacs for your unused inputs. They're only about $10 (used to be $8, so I'm guessing :~)
