The"new" look Capitole

IMHO, the new Capitole IS uglier than the original. On the older model, at least you had knobs that added some interest to the look of the front panel. Now, with no knobs, it looks very, very plain and frankly, very boring. However, the looks are only a small part of the overall story. The sound should be stunning, even if the look is far from that.

It's too bad the "designers" at Audio Aero cannot take some design clues from their French competitors at Audiomeca. Now, there's a tremendous looking player!

YES...Thanks very much to Buckingham for posting the photo. I appreciated it....even though it was kind of like a blind date...Didn't know what she'd look like, but when I saw her, boy was I disappointed. Just another example that dollars don't equate to beauty, even in CD players.

Sattothestars: Please post when the new one will ship if you are able to find this out from GM. thanks very much.
