Audio Aero Capitole 192 MK II se upgrade
So you actually have not heard big difference between regular tubes and cryo ones.Some AA owners claim that difference is huge after applying SE upgrade, but it may be VCAPs not tubes, who knows. Do I believe in cryo treatment, not yet, curious it...

I have contacted France Audio Aero too, but they did not bother to respond. I'm out of luck trying to find Sylwania 6021W, But I have found Raytheon 6021W. Have anybody compared different brands of 6021W, is really Sylvania's the best one ?

After all hassle appeared that Clayton's have been OK. And AA Cap finally died on me. There is no sound anymore, only quiet hum is coming out of both speakers. So I'm going to take advantage of my misfortune and upgrade it. I'm planning to replace...

That is an interesting thought. Is it not normalized, especially that both Clayton and AA cap are products designed for US market. US How do I check that ?

Hello everybody,Since it is capitole thread maybe somebody had similar problem.When my monoblocks (Clayton M100) are connected to my CDP Audio Aero Capitole mkII with XLR interconnect, there is pretty audible white noise. When I disconnect XLR con... 
White noise when XLR connection is used ...
Thank you for answer,if tubes are causing the problem why there is no noise when RCA is used, and why noise level is the some in both channels, both tubes degraded at the some degree ? 
Choices: Nagaoka MP-50, MP-300, or Garrott P77i?
Vinyladdict,I'm thinking about buying Garrot P77i too.Right now I'm using, Empire EDr-9 and it sound pretty good, but it is bass shy. I'm very curious about your impressions with P77i. 
Do I really need R2R ?
That why I have not yet bought R2R. Cost and availability of R2R quality recording are sky high. First I wanted to hear my Nakamichi CR7A at full potential. Is there anybody who have R2R with some high quality recordings and one of the top Nakamic... 
Do I really need R2R ?
That what I was afraid of, expensive maintenance, and need for modified R2R. And there limited choice of music. As far as SACD is concerned I have mid priced SONY DVP-S9000ES, and high-end AA Cap mkII. There is no comparison, SONY sound like a cra...
