Elect. EMC-1 Mk II vs. Audio Aero Capitole Mk II ?

I'm considering buying one of these CD players based upon previous recommendations online here. Between these two players, can anyone further recommend which sounds better and what the differences are in sound? I will be hooking it up to a Conrad Johnson MF2500A amp and two B&W matrix 802 main speakers. I also have an Audio Research LS-15 pre-amp if I need to use. I'm aware the AA Capitole has a built-in pre-amp. Thanks again

I have owned the EMC1 Mk2, the Audio Aero MkII and the Accuphase DP85. I would say the Audio Aero and the EMC1 are close in sound, but the Aero has just that little edge in seduction and pulling you into the music. But at this level it is a question of taste. They are all great machines. But i must say i am now firmly installed in the Accuphase camp, and feel no need to upgrade to anything else. I am content, and it is the first time EVER that it has happened, so i am happy, and so is my wallet :)

Cheers
