Audiogoners, I love you........
I must have missed this one before- how ever after reading it all I concur, simply the best. I am far to tired to add any wit so I won't even try, good day everyone ~Tim 
Speaker break in?
I can not explain it, I am not the sort who believes in things that can't be backed by science- but for some reason new gear needs time to break in all of it! I have never heard a new component that with in the first week in my system sounded the ... 
Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems
Mzn50- Thank you for all your help- I don't have speakers this weekend but new ones will be here Monday I will try then. I just don't understand why it wasn't working, I didn't have a lot of time to play with it though, perhaps a little more time ... 
Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems
That is funny my old Accuphase DC-330 would accept a coax input from my DVD player and produce two channel sound- keep in mind the dc-330 was strictly a two channel product as well. I checked the back of the DVD player and above the coax and tosli... 
Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems
Matt- Thanks for your insight, though my problem is that I am trying to use the capitole as a DAC/pre for my DVD source and I feed it a co-ax digital input and I switch it to co-ax input on the capitole I get nothing. I was wondering if I was miss... 
Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems
How do you guys access the digital input(s)? I know how to switch from cd playing to say coax digital input and the display changes and tells me what input it is using but I still get no sound- I am not sure if I am missing something the instructi... 
Magic in green alcohol
I thought you were referring to absinthe- that surely would have yielded unusual results ;) 
Mods for bright speaker?
Very good advice Cloudgif, I would never buy a product knowing there may be a problem with a component I am not willing to change- that dreaded word synergy. 
Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems
You can NOT play a mk II player with the drawer open, just something they have changed. I was at first very confused about this when I recieved mine as well. 
Any Thomas Dolby fans out there?
I have the minds eye dvd, its ok nothing to jump for joy about but entertaining some times :) 
Any Thomas Dolby fans out there?
Rock on Thomas Dolby is the man!! I love his stuff, I even have his DVD(most don't know he has one). I love the diversity of his music, the difference in music from "flat earth" to "aliens ate my buick" to "astronauts and heretic" to "gate to the ... 
Why upgrade transport???
Mitch- I don't know how attached you are to the rest of your gear or even what it is worth, but if you could sell it all and get an audio aero capitole mk I or mk II, I think you would be very pleased. Run it direct to the amp and it will blow you... 
Wolcott Presence 220M system compatiblity?
That's interesting Albert perhaps I was misinformed. I believe the speakers were Avalon Eidolon's and it had bass problems, I'll try to get all of the facts(as they are presented to me) together and let you know what comes of it- more then likely ... 
Wolcott Presence 220M system compatiblity?
From a very reliable source I am told the Wolcott's are amazing on electrostat's and planer speakers but just don't do an exceptional job on dynamic speakers. The idea is great they are incredible amps but work much better on non-cone type speaker... 
Why upgrade transport???
Well to best of my understanding the transport is one if not the most important components of a digital system. First of all you must realized that digital is a serious of 1's and 0's a cheaper transport may loose or rearrange what is actually sup...
