Took my Levinson amp in for repair

Vicdamone, you need to prove that the dealer was negligent in their actions and their actions alone caused the problem.

Sending the amp for repair estimates and filing a claim in small claim court does nothing to further the OP cause unless you can substantiate your claim with “proof” that the technician was negligent in his actions. The “burden” to prove that the repair depot was negligent is on the OP and his proof must be in the form of unbiased expert testimony.

I have an example of "proof" of negligence for you.
My computer just stopped working. Brought it to the service center where I bought it new (major computer company). They tried to bring it back, but couldn't and said I needed a new hard drive. So they installed the new hard drive and charged me some $375.00.
Before sending the "bad" hard drive across the country to one of those expert hard drive restoration places I though I'd bring it to a local service guy. He called me later that day and said he put the old hard drive back in and got the computer working without too much effort. But, whoever just worked on it put the long screws back where the short screws were supposed to be and subsequently poked holes right through the back panel.
So he put all that information on my invoice (that was for $100.00) and I took that to the first service center. They had no problems issuing me a full refund for their screw ups and told me I could keep the new hard drive.

I know, I know Al. Believe me I heard about this many times over. It's a long story so I won't go into it. One thing is for sure, this will never happen again!

There is no case here. It is a well known fact when the Levinson 332 started humming. The reason China made junk Philips caps going bad and leaking on 332 you are not suppose to use the amp. You can read the post on Audiogon (WHY IS THE MARKET FOR USED LEVINSON AMPS SO SLOW)
The Levinson 332 started humming on one channel on 5/24/12.
The only way to repair this amp is to replace the four 50000uF/125V with 150V surge filter caps with new Cornell or United caps. Also replace the four 1900uF/150V regulator caps with 1900uF/250V caps. These caps are custom made by UCC and Cornell.

If this will not turn the amp on you have to replace the three surge resistors on soft slow start VSMB board. also few other small caps. With out the four filter and regulator caps it cannot be repaired.
