Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet?
Got the manufacturer today.Source click switching : tells me this is normal, that the Philips CD Pro transport is very picky and will refuse to play any kind of hybrid Rebook disc.Volume : he said that very few preamps can handle the 5V of the AA ... 
Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet?
Dealer told me to call Audio Aero directly and will do so on monday.I do not have any tracking problems though, so i dont really think this is a standard bug.... 
Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet?
Fmpnd,i am experiencing the same as you. As i run it into my integrated amp, if i put the AA volume at full force, i get clipping extremely quickly, as soon as i reach approx the lvl 10 (out of 99) of my amps volume level meter. And it gets loud v... 
Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet?
Just tried to feed a Symphonic Line amp direct with my AA mk II (picked it up today...YEAH ! :)) and im getting awful static/background noise in the speakers. Is this usually the cause of impedance problems, or smthg else ? I have no problems when... 
Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet?
Listener,i dont know if he did. Maybe it was only the Ikemi (i doubt it though). He did tell me that the DP 85 and the DP101/100 combo wasnt even in the same league as the Mk II. Ill ask him if he has had the chance to compare with the CD12 when i...

Wadia 861 or Aero Capitole MK1?
If you're ready to spend the price of a 861, get the Mk II Capitole that has just been released. It is better than the Mk I, and the best one box CD player i have ever heard.Cheers 
Audio Aero Capitole Mk.2 - any news?
I thought it was one of the best CD player i have ever heard. Just goes to show :)I can assure everyone though that it is definitely better than the MK I. In practically every respect.Cheers

Has anyone heard the new AA Capitole 24/192 Mk II?
first unit arrived at a Paris dealer last week. They'll get the first batch for customers on the 16th of may (of which i am part). Seems there is a SERIOUS problem in Audio Aero's evaluation of demand out there !! 
Why the lack of interest in Accuphase?
Nice T Bone. But how do you explain that some manufacturers (ie Chord) manage to sell products at practically identical costs all over the globe ???Cheers 
Why the lack of interest in Accuphase?
I just can't believe that multichannel SACD is the next best thing. How studios could be pursuaded to invest into yet another SACD 'gimick' after the abysmal two years two channel SACD has had is beyond me. I strongly believe that unless two chann...
