Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet?
First, thanks for the update! I have found that at times (not all the time) I cannot switch tracks at all using either the remote or the front panel of the unit. For example, if track #1 is playing and I want to play track #6, if I press #6 on the... 
Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet?
I TOO am having the problem getting the AA to play almost ANY track whether I try to play a specific track # or just use the < or > buttons to access a different track. THIS even happened on two NEW discs last night. Yes, the player is sound... 
Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet?
Gerryn, I had my Lamm L2 before the AA because my old reference Cd front end did not have the abiltiy to go straight into the amps. BUT, I have heard mixed opinions on whether the AA sounds better direct or through a high quality line stage (or, a... 
Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet?
. . it IS getting better and better as it burns in. Tonight I listened after approximately 50 hours of continuous play and the bass has already improved substantially. I also thought that out of the box it sounded a little congested at higher volu... 
Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet?
I received mine yesterday. I never heard the Mk-I in my system so I cannot address that comparison. I can say this, right out of the box with NO warm-up I have mixed feelings. My former reference was the Sonic Frontiers Transport 3 and Processor 3...

MUSIC THAT CHANGED YOUR LIFE
I was a young trumpet player in the late 60s early 70s. I began to play professionally at the age of 16 touring the country in a jazz/rock band of the Chicago, BS&T, Tower of Power ilk.As a result of the most incredibly fond memories of my lif... 
Subwoofer Options - REL, BagEnd, JMLab Electra Sub
I can also recommend the RELs. I have two Stentor IIIs and am amazed at how well they seamlessly integrate (I have them crossed over at only 23hz [probably lower that you would because my main speakers are full range] so they "come up" under my ma... 
Average age of audiophiles
Yup, I picked up this addiction at the ripe old age of 12 at a local Department store that had a dedicated room for stereo gear. I saved every penny from a paper route (I don't think they even have them anymore) and, at 13, bought a Dual turntable... 
Audio Aero Capital CD vs SACD
Thanks Mike, very informative. I too have always loved the CD-12 but, as you note, at $6900 vs. $20,000, this says a lot not only for how far even 16/44.1 digital has come but for the Capitole as well. If they are that close in your system, I am l... 
Audio Aero Capital CD vs SACD
Looking forward to your comments! With that fantastic system of yours, it ought to be very interesting to hear what happens. 
Audio Aero Capital CD vs SACD
Badwisdom, that is some mighty worthy competition for the Capitole, please post your impressions as I'm sure it will be both interesting and very enlightening. 
Audio Aero Capital CD vs SACD
I erroneously posted that the # of boards in the latest 24/192 Capitole have been reduced from 3 to 2. It SHOULD have stated that they have been reduced from 3 to 1. Sorry! 
Audio Aero Capital CD vs SACD
Jcb, I cannot tell you from experience (YET) because my new Capitole 24/192 will not be here for two more weeks (and I have an SACD player as well as another for audition). I too am looking forward to finding this out . BUT, from what I have been ... 
Valhalla or SPM speaker cable ??
I have both Valhalla and SPM (just sold the SPM) and, in MY system with MY room and based on MY tatses, the Valhalla KILLED the SPM and it wasn't subtle. You might also look at Silversmith cables which are great at a lower price (although differen...
