Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow?

Any idea what that will cost, and what should they be replace with?
Thanks

To replace all 8 Caps it will cost about $700.
The original Philips filer caps can be replaced with USA made Cornell Dubilier with higher capacitance with 125V surge. Also the original Philips 1900uF/150V small regulator caps can be replaced with Cornell Dubilier cap at 1900uF/250V. These caps are special ordered from factory.

I have these caps. You can send the amp to me i will repair it. But the problem the amp total weight is over 150 pounds. Very expensive to ship. Your best choice is to have a local tech replace the caps to keep the expenses very low.

Thanks not sure there is anybody locally(Iowa) that will work on it

I recommend not using Levinson 332 any more. The reason if the caps explode it will take out the three surge resistors on the VSMB board. Then you have to replace many other parts including surge resistors and many small caps 68uF/63V and .01uf. 680uF on VSMB and VG Boards.

I am located in St Paul Minnesota. You can always send it to Levinson repair center. But very expensive for shipping and repair.

Harman is to blame. When they abandoned the Madrigal Labs products in terms of service, I abandoned ML.
