| Opinions I have Transparent Premium cords on preamp, power amp, Bluesound Vault, DAC and Equi-1800 power Conditioner along with hospital grade 20A receptacles and a dedicated circuit. | |
| Opinions Transparent Audio Super mm2 XLR on one end to Transparent Audio Referance mm2 which is a couple product lines higher in the TA line. | |
| Mark Levinson 23.5 Thanks guys for the input. I called to Steven at Levinson this morning. He's pretty confident that either the amps bias is wrong or possibly there is another part that may be failed/failing. He confirmed both channels should run about the same tem... | |
| Mark Levinson 23.5 68Pete, do you by chance have any contact info. I Googled the name with no luck. | |
| Mark Levinson 23.5 Samzx12, yes, it sounds fantastic. I'm losing confidence in their repair shop. At one time pre-Harmon Ind days, they were a Levinson dealer and did a lot of service on ML equip as needed. It's just that since April, this amp was in their shop 12 w... | |
| Mark Levinson 23.5 Samzx12, my 23.5 never ran hot either. Maybe a bit warmer when I pushed it harder. I may have worded my last post incorrectly about trading up. I was asking my dealer what should I do? In such a way like, wth, should I trade up or what are my opti... | |
| Mark Levinson 23.5 Actually I measured it 2 ways. One using a Raytek infrared thermometer locating several different hit spots and the other using a Fluke 52 with a surface probe. The most hear is generated at the top of the rear heat sinks, which makes sense. But I... | |
| Mark Levinson 23.5 Update, received my ML 23.5 back after I brought it back in for service because I felt it was running too hot, much normal than it use to. After another 3 weeks I received it back. The repair shop checked and adjusted the bias. They claim to have ... | |
| Cable thoughts Thanks Dave, I think I will try that. | |
| Cable thoughts As an update, I just received an email back from NBS trilling me there is no way to audition their cables. To bad for that, I thought I would audition 2 pairs and possibly bought them if I liked them. Oh well, still in my quest. | |
| Cable thoughts That's exactly what I did. Tried the NBS from the Codex to my pre and didn't like it. The Ultra's are now in their place. My main power amp is a Mark Levinson 23.5. I have an email into NBS requesting to audition some cables. I'm tired of buying c... | |
| Cable thoughts Maybe i will try to Audition them somehow. There's no NBS dealers in the Chicagoland area, at least that I've found. I tried the Monitor IV's yesterday from Ayre DAC to preamp and did not like it at all. Maybe I want used to it? My soundstage narr... | |
| Cable thoughts Steve, I like your thought process. It does make sense. I was loaned a pair of Transparent Gen5 Super XLR's and a pair of TA BMLP to try out. I actually have the MLP from the DAC to Pre amp and the TA BMLS from the pre to the amp. The system sound... | |
