Took my Levinson amp in for repair

I thought I should share my experience with Levinson equipment to show the other side of the coin . I've read posts about the cap problems on Levinson amps , but I've owned two 300 series amps long term and have not had any problems at all , except a blow fuse do to my own incompetence . I do leave my systems on 24/7/52 . I've also had a 400 series amp and currently a 500 series with no issues .
My local Levinson dealer is the best too .

Levinson WOLL NOT provide replacement caps and/or schematics to anyone other than their 2 authorized repair depots. Even is this dealer wanted to help out his customer, his hands are tied as he cannot get replacement parts or any cooperation from Levinson.

Audiogon member "Renjy651" has commented on this thread that he does ML cap replacements and has access to equivalent or better caps than the original ML caps.

If you get the amp repaired....Have the tech that does the repair tell you what went wrong (get it in writing). If it is something that "likely" happened at your Dealer, it may help in a court of law.

I think this falls under "preponderance of the evidence" (tipping the scale) that it more than likely happened because of the dealers mishandling.

Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn (and watched Judge Judy a few times). :-)

On the other hand, it may show that it was just time to go/who knows/can't blame the dealer/bump in the night kinda things/ which will save you time and money. Then time to let it go and move on.

Good luck.
