Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems


Capitole MKII users, kindly update on the sonic virtues but also on any repeated technical problems. No forum postings since a week! Have these problems stopped? I understand that some units needed a software update; have these been recalled? Does the performance justify the high price? Please contribute.

Tireguy, thanks for the info.

Are you refering to the AudioQuest "Big Feet" type half-circle pods? I think these are made from Sorbothane, yes?

I have my Capitole on the Vibra-Pods, on a Sanus stand, which has "independent" shelf isolation, but am always wondering about other/different combinations. Anyone tried the "Dead Ball Isolators" ? from Acoustic Dreams? A friend informed me that these things are phenomenal.
Tireguy: Are the pucks, mentioned in the Capitole book, which may be placed underneath each BDR cone of the Capitole the same puck used to lock the CDs or are they two different products?
Lall- They are two different products that just happen to share the same unusual name :)
previous Post indicating reversed channel labeling was incorrect somehow the channel balance changed and again today the balance needed to be changed again, it keeps changing to the left even with the player left on continuously not even standby mode. Any ideas what's causing this behavior? Also can the balance be adjusted from the remote? How? This player occasionally makes me want to toss it into the street because of its operational qwirks does this bother anybody else or is it just me?
Took 15 minutes to adjust the balance and get into play mode again. But that sound no complaints there.
