So the stereo in my wife's '04 LX470 just quit one day. Complaint was duly noted. After doing some research it occurred to me that the problem was most likely the Mark Levinson amplifier. What I learned was that it's damn near impossible to bypass this hunk of garbage residing under the passenger seat. The choices are fix it, replace it like-for-like or just get used to the sounds of silence. After weighing my options I decided to fix it. Myself. This thread will chronicle my work. I'll come back to it with pics and info. As of the writing of this post I have performed what I hope is the fix for this amp. I will re-install it tonight to confirm whether my fix worked. Who knows? My fix may not work. If it does, however, I will honestly be able to say that I fixed it for under $100 and not the $400+ that everyone pays to have the "usual" place to fix it. Stay tuned!
