Is Mark Levinson any good these days?
I remember falling in love with the No33H amps, but could not afford it. Is ML still ruined by ML now that Harman is the owner? I remember trying the smaller amps and did not like it when compared to McIntosh Mc352. Your thoughts these days?

These amps are at an age now where they generally require recapping & ML amps are loaded with them. I still have the Dali Grands & they sound the best they ever have with the MC2301s, C1000C/T, MCD1100. I heard that ML aren't what they used to be since the Madrigal days. |

How about a used pair of No33 vs. current Bryston or McIntosh?

Personally I'ed go for current amps from Bryston or McIntosh, as opposed to getting a used pair of ML No. 33/33H monoblocks. As MyPal rightly pointed out, it is highly likely that you may come across servicing issues like recapping given the length of time that ML No. 33/33H monoblocks have been around in the market.

ML never did it for me, even many years ago. Never understood all the fuss, or the price. :dunno:

Yeah the recap could cost a boat load of money.
Do all SS amps need a recap sooner or later? How does one know when it's time? |
I have an ML326S preamp that I really like. The ML436 and 433 have gotten decent press. I would rather have a Pass 250.5 or 350.5 in that price range.

ML is still quality product with good engineering behind it. Whether you would like it more than McIntosh , Bryston or any other gear is up to you. You will find proponents and detractors for every product. Sometimes aesthetics have a big impact on our decisions.
