levinson 336

I was mistaken its a 336, Id say by how many ive seen in for servicing its somewhat of a parts/design issue. The 23.5 is much older unit, Ive never seen as service been a requirement/issue...

The 300 series Levinson amps are wonderful sounding
and built like a tank. I did own a 335 Levinson amplifier
for 6 years. After 5 years the capacitors required
replacement/upgrading. Besides that no other issues.

I recently sent my 336 in for a tune-up - several caps and a handful of resistors were changed.

I must say that it's made a huge improvement over an already great amplifier.

I did have it up for sale - but now I honestly don't think I can part with it. The 336 is a killer amp.

Jim, where did you send your 336 for a tune-up and what did it cost. I have a 334 and may, in the future, be interested in doing the same. Thanks

Call Jaime at Levinson. He can tell you what the "maximum" cost will be - in my case it was $950.

Even if every component is dead they will rebuild it to good as new for the max.

I'm not sure if your 334 will be the same - but I am still amazed at how those new caps have improved this amp.

I recently auditioned a pair of JC-1's after all the praise they have gotten - and IMO the 336 flat out smokes them.

I really think my 336 is off the market. :)
