| Best one box CDP, Got it short listed to Four Of your shortlist, i would go with the Accuphase 75V. Ive owned the AA Capitole MkII and auditionned at length the EMC1. While they both are fantastic players, i preferred the Accuphase in all areas. But if i were you, i would wait a while until i... | |
| Anyone listen to the new Accuphase DP-77 CD Player As far as i can see, the only differences between the DP85 and 77 is the teflon coating and the DAC (the 77 has the 'plus' designation, whatever that means, and just the 4 in parralel, while the 85 has 6).I am really curious as what the difference... | |
| Anyone listen to the new Accuphase DP-77 CD Player How does it compare to the DP85 ? (on SACD and redbook)Cheers | |
| Accuphase 85 or 75v...or EMC-1? Ive heard all three CD players, all broken in. The EMC1 is a fantastic player, but not in the same league as the Accuphase. If you can afford a $5000 player, go for a used 75V on Audiogon.As far as the 85v75V goes, i prefered the 85 on redbook. If... | |
| What's best CD player one piece price no object Here is my short list of wonderful one box players that i have tried and loved :- Audio Aero capitole mk II (maybe a bit too much air and quality control isnt top notch)- Wadia 861 (really REALLY fantastic player)- Accuphase DP85 (what im currentl... | |
| Elect. EMC-1 Mk II vs. Audio Aero Capitole Mk II ? 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 questi... | |
| Stereophile "confirms" Moncrieff's SACD comments ? Heres a parapraph no ones mentionned in the DP85 review which i think puts things into perspective: "its very possible that the DP85's CD performance was actually so highly resolving and transparent that it passed on CDs inherent flaws along with ... | |
| AA Capitole MKII/ CD Burner to use with it Let me precise Gerryn that i dont use the 'made for audio' TDKs like Twopippis, but the standard computer usable TDK CDRs. There might be a difference between the two.Cheers | |
| AA Capitole MKII/ CD Burner to use with it Aron,are you running the Capitole direct ?For CDR brands that work fine, 80m TDK work great, as well as 80m Verbatim.Cheers | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems Lall,thats all the info i have at the moment on the P3 chip. I didnt read it, my dealer showed me the actual chip because my player is currently been updated to the latest software/EPROM and he just received the new P3 chips from Audio Aero. My gu... | |
| AA Capitole MKII/ CD Burner to use with it I had the first generation chip, and it played almost all CDRs flawlessly. I had a few problems though, but it seemed to be random and not at all linked to a brand or certain type of CDs/CDRs. Multimedia Audio CDs with enhanced video practically n... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems the P3 software and latest EPROM has many features, only two of which i am aware of at this time :- possibility of choosing between a bar volume display, or a numeric volume display- Init CD phase no longer exists, the player initialises instantly... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems Just been told from my dealer that there is a new P3 chip for the Audio Aero MkII. Don't know what it does yet, but will keep you posted.Cheers | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems i think the 50 milli-second gap between tracks problem has been fixed with the new chip. When you played a CD where there was no blanks between tracks, the old chip used to put one automatically. From what i understand, this is now gone.....which ... | |
| Is there an integrated amp that can beat my... Well, i heard the integre with a meridian front end 588, red rose speakers and nordost interconnects (think it was blue heaven).let me explain what i mean by dry : the system was flat, aggressive and you just knew it was solid state. There was no ... |
