Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow?

How did the problem manifest itself? Did the amp fail?

One morning I turned it on and there was static on the right channel. I power cycled it a few times, made sure there were no cabling issues, etc and could not get it to stop.

I called the ML support number and they said that more than likely it was a cap failing, which they confirmed and repaired. At the time they were still repairing the amplifiers in-house.

Just as I thought. Hearsay. I didn't get stuck; all of my ML equipment is now sold, but I'm left with a lot of respect for the designers of that generation. And that even includes the No39 CD player that needed a replacement circuit board, and I tested the slow and expensive service of Harman's out-sourced repair shop. (High Tech Masters) I'd still be a Levinson owner, but their latest stuff is priced too high for my sensibilities.
