AA Capitole MKII/ CD Burner to use with it

I'm looking for a CD recorder that records to the Red Book standard. I had a very nice Marantz burner, but the Capitole could not read the CD-R's recorded on it.

Would any Capitole MKII owners comment on what model/manufacturer they have where they are having success with the AA Capitole. Thanks in advance for your help.

(By the way, my 20 year old Nak CD Player 1 will play them and my Sony SACD player will play them, but the Cap won't.)

I had the first generation chip, and it played almost all CDRs flawlessly. I had a few problems though, but it seemed to be random and not at all linked to a brand or certain type of CDs/CDRs. Multimedia Audio CDs with enhanced video practically never worked.

I use a plextor burner and all of the CDRs i used on it played perfectly (burned 1x).

Every problem cited above and that everyone has experienced should be solved with the new P3 chip, according to the manufacturer.

Aron,

are you running the Capitole direct ?

For CDR brands that work fine, 80m TDK work great, as well as 80m Verbatim.

Let me precise Gerryn that i dont use the 'made for audio' TDKs like Twopippis, but the standard computer usable TDK CDRs. There might be a difference between the two.

Cheers
