Audio Aero Capitole 24/192 cd player question
You can contact Darrell at digital@jump.net or (512) 335-6019. He is an authorized Audio Aero repair tech and I'm sure he would explain it to you or answers questions. He's a really nice guy. 
Shanling in Washington D.C. Could it be?
I heard the newest version SCD-T200 at CES in Vegas. It was amazing. It adds SACD to the package and really sounds good. 
Experience with Sistrum or Grand Prix Monaco rack?
I purchased the Grand Prix Monaco amp stand shortly after CES. I have a 105 lb. Edge amp sitting on a concrete tile floor. This stand was recommended to me by a fellow 'Goner who had previously been using the Zoethecus amp stands for his tube mono... 
Better Amps For Talon Khorus CAT JL2 or Tenor 75?
Not that you asked but just for the record, the Edge NL-12 (or NL-10) solid state really matches incredibly with the Talon Khorus X MKII. I have this set-up and couldn't be happier. It actually is very tube-like for a SS and yet feeds the Khorus w... 
Retail pricing in classified ads
Retail prices do change. I bought a Sony DVD Player when it first came out at $1600 a little over a year ago and now the retail is $1200. Sometimes it truly depends on when you bought it and what you paid at that time. I'm not saying this is the c... 
AA Capitole MKII/ CD Burner to use with it
Well, just to throw a snag into this thread, I just got my MKII back from getting the P-3 upgrade and all of my CD-R's play just fine where before they did not play at all. So much for my previous comments about discussions with Audio Aero! Not to... 
Where does your user name come from?
I get asked this a lot. I was one of the very first internet junkies at AOL over ten years ago (time flies!). At that time, there was only one user name per subscriber. My roommate and I were huge Pippi Longstocking fans and decided this would be ... 
AA Capitole MKII/ CD Burner to use with it
I have spoken directly with Jean-Paul at Audio Aero. He said it is strictly the CD-R's you use. He said that the P3 chip has nothing to do with reading the CD-R's nor does it relate to what type of CD burner you do the burning on. I have a NAD CD ... 
Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems
Well, gamble or not, I bought mine through a dealer in Italy last month (willing to take a risk for such a good price!) and knock on wood, I have not had any of the problems listed in these threads. It appears I have the new chip because my readou... 
Subwoofer Power Cords
I've got a Talon Roc 2002 and am using the Shunyata Mojave which retails for around $550. I tried several before finding this one. It's very fast and clean sounding with good extension. 
Need a "short list" of best Subwoofers for M.L.'s
I have ML Odyssey speakers. I've tried several subs and am finally thrilled with my Talon Roc 2002. This is, by far, the most musical sounding sub around (IMO). My listening area is about 15X18 with a 15 foot cathedral ceiling. I have placed the s... 
Best DVD for video and theater sound for 2000
I owned the Sony 9000es. The high tech look is great but the picture and sound were just so-so. I also posed the same question here a few months ago and seemed to find a common thread in responses regarding the Camelot Roundtable. I did more resea... 
FIM 880 AC Outlet-- Best tweak I've ever heard
Anyone ever compare the FIM to the Wattgate outlet? 
Which subs are best for home theater?
I definately think the Talon Roc gives the best of both worlds for home theatre and music. It has the speed of the Velodyne and the integration of the Rel. I really like it with my Martin Logan set-up.
