Ofttimes determined hobbyists can do a lot more than most of the
dealers-very few High End dealers have what I would call a serious
service department. In more cases than not they have a bunch of
unworking or out of cal equipment either left over from better days or
bought specifically to impress the clientele or meet a warranty station
MEL. They just ship anythiing not obvious to the factory and pad the
bill.


Maybe so but many audiophiles would prefer that Levinson waved their magic
wand over the piece.
