AA Capitole MKII/ CD Burner to use with it

Ejlif:

I couldn't agree more with your assessment!

A CD player retailing for almost $ 9,000.00 should work flawlessly. It is one of the most expensive pieces of audio equipment I have ever owned (certainly the most expensive CD player I have ever owned) and it is also the most troublesome piece of audio equipment I have ever seen or heard.

Audio Aero has told me that the problem is not with the Capitole, but with my CD burner which, they say, is not recording to the Redbook standard.

But, as Sattothestars has said, I may have the old chip and not the P3.

Twopippis: Thanks for the information. I am using 80 minute Maxell CD-R's also "made for audio" and they are not working on my MKII either. So....as you put it, the problem may be the manufacturer of the blank CD-R's vs. the MKII itself. Guess its time to try another brand of blank CD-R's.

Interesting and confusing stuff, gentlemen....

Twopippis is using TDK and they DON'T work, but Badwisdom is using TDK and they work great.

Now it makes me wonder if it is the recorder and not the medium or if I have a bad chip or if I should just forget CD R's.

Cdc: What Marantz burner do you use and do the copies play on your Capitole?

Twopippis: Are you saying that the CD-R's that would not play on the Capitole MKII are now working after the installation of the p3 chip?

Maybe that's the root of my problems.... I just played a TDK burned on a computer-based recorder from a friend and it plays fine. Then, I burned a CD-R on my computer (Roxio) using my huge supply of Maxell CD-R's and it will NOT play. Very frustrating, but I don't have the p4 chip yet.
