A. A. Capitole owners - what's the next step??


Hello to anyone who has owned or auditioned the Capitole MK II or III player. I have owned a MKII for a couple of years now, and have always been very impressed with the sound, but now have the upgrade itch.

I want to make sure my next player is AT LEAST as good as my Capitole (obviously, would prefer an improvement in some or all areas!).

What suggestions can you give me? BTW - I prefer to stay with something that has it's own volume control, like the Capitole, and only have standard "redbook" CD's.

Thanks to any & all.

I agree with all of the above. It is hard for me to believe that this is the weak link in your system. That is one hellava cdp you have there. In fact, (I own the Prima)if I had a different wife I'd go for the Capitole in a flash. I would think about: new ICs, power conditioning for your front end, Sistrum SP 1 to couple your cdp, etc. etc. There are oodles of tweaks that you can do to improve the sound. Why don't you (if you dare, lol) tell us what the rest of your listening rig is about. warren :-)
Denf, sounds like you're unhappy with something in your system seeing that you're itching to spend some big $$ to improve your sound. Why not let us know what your rig consists of. There's enough audiophools here to get you crazy. I'll take book that your Capitole will not be the first to go...
"bit of an error?" Just a little. My immediate repsonse is to go for the MKII, of course. But--Looking for new speakers? Am I missing something? What do you have now? Don't be afraid to tell us. Even if they are AR 4xs. ML fan?
I always thought that ML was the manufacturer? What is the particular model of your ML? I'm confused. You're talking in vagaries....
That is the answer to the question I just asked you, that you did not address in your orignial thread: "last set was Prodigies"
