Greetings, I'm on the upgrade path to replace my Audio Aero Capitol 24/96. I was hoping someone could give me some advice on what other 1 box solutions with built in preamps are available of this quality or better. Preferably with multiple inputs like the later Capitol 2 se's.
Here is one. It lists for $12,000. I am not sure of your limit though. http://www.aurumacoustics.com/integris_cdp.html Integris CDP Parts one and two of a system review http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/aurum/ http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/aurum/index2.html I heard this very system at CES and it was very very good.
Thanks for the replies, I've had some listing time with the Musical Fidelity CD PRE and feel that my present player bests it. As for the Integris while undoubtably impressive its about 6 or 7k beyond what I'm willing to spend. Any other suggestions? New or used up to 5 or 6k(preferably on the down side of 6)would be appreciated. Regards-Joe-
Nothing in particular although the new Capitol and older Capitol MK2se's clearly out perform my current player. The main reason for the upgrade is the need for further inputs(like the MK2se has) and if I can upgrade my cd source while adding analog inputs without the added price of a new preamp and interconnects the advantage is obvious. Again I was curious as to any other options besides Audio Areo. Regards-Joe-
