Wow, I just read through this thread... I'm pretty blown away by the number of complications of the cap2. I mean, DAMN! It's almost 9 BIG ONES!! I have been looking for a tubed cd player now for over a month, and had the cap2 on my short list. But the price was just too high. I thought of maybe getting the prima, but decided instead to go used, with a BAT VK-D5SE. That way, if there are any problems with the unit, I don't have to ship it half way across the country and pray that I get someone who answers the phone in English!
