Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow?

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

Hence one of the answers to the question on the title of this thread.

I've called most of the service centers on their web site anywhere from $800 to $2500 not shipped pretty messed up....so I may start amp shopping

But the caps yourself and find a qualified repairman and ship the amp to them. Pretty damn simple if you want to keep the amp. They are very good amps but not to everyone's tastes. It's that simple because I know there are some ML haters here and you have to overlook that fact.

I have heard that the new 532H, 531H are very reliable. Anyone know of the reliability on the more expensive ref 532 amp?

Thanks

Lots of what I just read in this thread is old horror stories, some are even true. Harman has shuffled things around more than once in the last several years.

But Levinson Lexicon Proceed service stabilized years ago after High Tech Masters was let go. Turn around is reasonable if not good and we can make the equipment more reliable than ever.

For example some of the No33 were known to have buzz in the speakers. We now know the massive transormers leak enough flux to be audible in a speaker NOT connected to the 33. just loop the speaker wire around the 33. similarly you can loop your wires around the the 33 and cancel the internal buzz picked up. NO BUZZ
