Mark levinson amp gone?
So i have a 2005 es330 with mark levinson navi. The unit make scratchy noise for about 20 seconds after i turn the car on and then just goes out. Purchased a new pioneer dvd to replace. But no one wants to put it in as they say they would have to bypass the amp and thats upwards of $1000.00 because there saying rewire the whole unit. Very frustrating. BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T KNOW FOR SURE IF IT IS THE AMP OR THE UNIT.ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO DO?

My 2010 ISF recently started acting up and I am thinking it may be the amp. When I initially start the car, my radio will not make any sound for about 2 minutes and then it is good to go. Has anyone had similar issues? I am going to look at the connections and make sure they are good. Any other ideas? Thanks.

308000 miles on 01LS 430 MLAMP WENT OUT day son gave me the car. I thought I had removed all components to trace the 30 amp short. Did not actually find AMP till this morning. Bugger is well hidden! With it out no longer blows 30 amp fuse.
i owe someone in TEXAS a BIG APOLOGY and thanks for all the help he was on my 30 AMP SHORT thread

Lousy support from Mark Levinson
Another amp failure on LS460L. Certainly would expect better performance and support from both Levinson and Lexus. Over $3K to repair audio is ridiculous.

I really like my ML system, but 3k is just too dam much to repair. You could get a better system aftermarket. And then sell your old parts to pay off part of your bill. That's would be my choice if I were you. I really like keeping things factory, but......
