| Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems Louisl: I understand that the 10,000hrs refer to the duration the unit is powered on (the back switch), irrespective of whether it is playing music or not. If you read the manual carefully, it mentions somewhere that if the unit is not in use for ... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems I can't understand why some people are selling their MKII's after only a few weeks. Remember, it takes at least 500hrs to get a good feel of what the player is capable of. | |
| Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting? Anybody with an OBO ad calling a -20% offer ridiculous is probably out of this world. If he thinks his gear commands a PARTICULAR price then he has to state it as PRICE IS FIRM, not OBO. Let's not waste time with that sort of sellers; there are lo... | |
| Tweaks & How My System Disappeared Jadem6: Can you provide a very brief summary, i.e. your main conclusion, of your ultra long article? | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems Has anybody tried the Mark II with a quality transport? I recall an earlier post claiming Capitole MKI + Esoteric P2 transport to upset the MKI player on its own.Well, I'm embarrased to state that my Capitole, fed by a Micromega Stage 6 CD player ... | |
| AA Capitol Mark II burn in? Connect it to a preamp and let it play on repeat for about a month. During the first 300 hrs, depending on taste, the sound may seem too forward and dry. Judge only after another 300 hrs. Mine has over 600 hrs and is still improving has yet to rea... | |
| When to bi-wire? cdc: let your ears, rather than theory, be the judge. In my system, single wiring betters bi, by far. | |
| AA Capitole MKII/ CD Burner to use with it Gerryn, my Capitole MK II reads Maxell 80m CDRs without any problem. Aron, I agree with you that the volume level has to be raised substantially to be able to listen! Maybe I need more efficient speakers.Twopippis, do you know why the need for P3 ... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems TireguyThe best way to find out what's wrong with your player is to use another CD player (not DVD) as transport only and connect it to the Capitole using a digital cable. If your system still does not play, your Capitole should go back to the dea... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems Badwisdom,Can you provide more inof on the P3 software? Where have your read it? The AA website makes no mention of this new software? I understand from an earlier post that the new chip P2 was going to cure all problems such as bug, tracking etc.... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems ListenerI tried my Micromega Stage 6 CD player as transport and the Capitole as DAC (using RCA digital cable) and no problem at all. Once you select the coaxial input (either with remote or the button in the CDP) everything else should be automati... | |
| Power cord from speaker cables? Gthrush1, Jfrech: Thanks for directing me towards George Cardas who has quoted me $200 two cords, all parts included. Is it a good price? | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems Listener: I have the new chip and my remote has no problem with reverting to the previous track. I have realised the importance of proper isolation to obtain good performance. Shifting it from the bare rack to the floor (which is carpeted by a ver... | |
| Power cord from speaker cables? Gregm: The Hexlinks are thick cables, about one inch in diameter. My other gears are Castle Harlechs speakers, ANVx interconnects and Cardas Golden Hexlink 5C speaker cables. With the arrival fo my new Capitole, I got rid of my KR P150 preamp. The... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems I received my brand new unit two days ago. It was manufactured in July (I understand that pre July units may have contained the old software) and has the new chip (confirmed by Mr Combelles in person). Initially, the unit could not read any discs ... |
