Hi Jonathan
With respect to your undermentioned post regarding the Capitole intermittent issue of on/off shutting off, after the AVR installation, has your AA player ever had the issue again?
My AA Capitole MK 2 (which was kept in my store for 3 years after coming back from AA factory in France - 2013 - supposedly repaired) is having the same problem as yours - intermittent shutting on and off.
I would appreciate your guidance on how to solve the issue and if you could send me the detailed guidelines PNB Audio sent you (regarding the installation of CHINFA KAM3005).
I just bought a CHINFA from Relec UK but, same as you did, i could not find any CHINFA in my Capitole MK 2 nor any place where to fit it.
Would much appreciate your help. Please shoot me an email:

And My great respect for Mr. Peter, The president of PBN Audio..who had sent me a detailed and helpful upgrade guide regarding this issue which I initiated. My thank You, is beyond words I could express for His kindness and generosity.
I sent out my Capitole to a knowledgeable repair man in my country and passed him all the information which I had obtained from Mr. Peter thoroughly..(because he was not sure of how to do this in the first place, given there was no available exact match of module in the market)
With the knowledge in hand, The Repair man was dare to conduct the procedure, he initially did some checks before the procedure, and found that the AC/DC module was actually working well with no issue..
However, He suspected out that it was the dirty voltage and unstable - voltage drop issue which is very common in my country that caused the shutting down problem. He suggested me to try adding an automatic voltage stabiliser before my furutech conditioner. I took on His advise and ....now my AA has come back to live...
No more shutting down issue while playing, everything works as day one when I purchased the unit...
Thank you Mr. Peter for your generosity and kindness, I would like to wish you success.. always.. God Bless You Sir.
Best Regards
Jonathan
