Should I buy a new amplifier; and if so, what?
Hifigeek1With all due respect, I find your assessment surprising. Cornell dubilier 51000uF/160V replacemet cap for 336 ESR 6.9 mOhms. Using a 10000uf cap ESR 31 mOhms you need 5 caps. It will not fit in Levinson. ESR is lot lower on big caps also ... 
Should I buy a new amplifier; and if so, what?
The Levinson 336 is a 10k amp. The reason Levinson repair center charges 3000 dollars is brutal. This is how they make a huge profit. The 336 when the caps explode it will take out the 3 surge resistors on the slow start circuit. you can replace t...

Amps that can Rival A Levinson No. 332 around 3K?
Ckoffend is right about Levinson 334. It will cost you about 500 dollars in parts for 334 and 331. The Levinson 332 and 335 parts will cost you 650 dollars. For Levinson 333 and 336 to replace all 8 capacitors it will cost you 820 dollars in parts... 
Levinson 33H buzzing on standby
Levinson 33H amp uses phillips capacitors. Also these inferior phillips capacitors were used in 331/332/333/334/335/336.Levinson 33H uses four filter capacitors at 60000uf at 100V and two regulator capacitors at 1900uf/150V. When these phillips ca... 
Luxman L505u . . . why not?
Rgs92Yes the Luxman 505u will work great with Sonus Faber. http//audioaficionado.org/sonus-faber/6495-sonus-faber-luxman.html I use to own both Luxman L505u and Luxman L507u. Luxman 505u has a very good premap. I was running a Levinson 331 amp wit... 
Who has info on R&R caps in ARC D90B amp?
I think They are 400uf at 450V. You need to use very low esr caps. Kendeil capacitor made in Italy is very good. Also Cornell Dubilier made in usa. These two companys makes the best caps for audio. 
Please help, single input, multiple outputs
Why not purchase 2 chanel Int amp with 100 Watts or higher. Also get a Bryston 3 way Speaker switch. You can run 6 speakers at once.

Levinson 331 humming followup...
It was a pleasure to work with another Audiogon member. This was my first time repairing a Levinson. The reason it is a daunting task is because of several design flaws. First off, the four large power electrolytic capacitors valued at 44000UF and...

I use to own a Luxman L-507U.Best Sounding Int amp i have ever owned.But i sold it on Audigon.The person who purchased my Luxman L-507u was running a McIntosh MA6600.She told me the Luxman L-507U SMOKED the McIntosh MA6600. 
Bryston B-100 or Luxman L-507u?
Bryston Int Amp is very good.The only thing is they dont offer 2 pairs of speakers.Check with Bryston if they offer 100 Volt version in Japan.Luxman L509U is the best sounding Amp out there.For 2000 Dollars more it is the best buy.Luxman L507U als...
