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 own a AA MKII and frankly you won't find anything better sounding for the same money. I agree with the upgrades or even changing the caps yourself. You might want to get yourself a Black Diamond Source Shelf to sit your player on. I found that this dramatically changes what you'll hear. I went to MIT V3.1 I/C's from Cardas Golden Reference. This too had a noticeable impact on what the end result was. You have a lot of options to get better sound............period!
I had a MKI before aquiring a MKII. There is a sound difference between the two. I was told the AA distributor that the SE version is just as big a diffenece over the MKII that the MKII is over the MKI. I haven't heard it but if the facts are true then there's the answer...........
