Audio Aero Capitole MK 2 owners must read this

Audio Aero Capitole MR2 owners that are looking for much better sound quality, need to replace the (4) yellow caps that
are parked near the XLR output connectors. The replacement caps are: Black Gates type N , non polarized 10.uf 50v. The
yellow caps are very poor quality to be put in any signal path. The replaced caps removed the upper midrange grunge and improved the dynamics and sound stage. The parts cost me about $40 and I did it myself. This mod should have been part of the SE upgrade. Sam

I also thought about replacing those caps, but never had a time to do it. Good to hear that is is working out for you !

I eventually traded my Capitole for MBL 1531.

My audio aero was doing the same thing. Can you see if the disk tries to spin up? Do a power down,unplug the unit.Now power up the player and see if tries to read the disk. How soon do you get the no disc error? Does your owner manual tell you what Cd drive is in you player? CDPRO 2 ? I changed out the cd drive with a used one from a jute box (CDpro2). The no disk error problem was gone. Disk spun up and read the disk.

Yes, much confusion on this unit can be resolved by switching it off and then unplugging it for a short while.
