I've owned all the above except the Capitole Ref. which is the best non SACD they have made.I liked them all just kept up with the newest versions.Still own a Prestige. I also traded up a Prestige to a "LaFontaine".Right out of the box a real nice performer. Now going on three months use and just finally broke in this past weekend.This player will be the last for me. First player I've heard that portrays the performers interaction between each other so clearly that it seems real.I've both the vinyl and cd version of some albums and the cd version is preferred to my ears in most.
I have been using the latest Capitole Reference since last couple of months and the experience has been fabulous. It has so many things to offer when it comes to air, fluidity and soundstage, it is an ear opener.
I've had the original version AA Capitol 24/192 in my system for about 3 years. Had the tubes and transport replaced about a year ago. Good, warm, full bodied sound and trouble free performance.
