Audio Aero Capitole MK2 CD Puck.


Anyone experienced using a Electrocompaniet Spider puck instead of the original one for the Capitole Mk-2? Feedbacks on this are appriciated.
Thanks

The importer has a replacement puck kit that you can buy for about $130
Instead of a cone-shaped spindle it has a non-tapered shaft of about a half inch diameter. The new puck then locates snuggly onto the shaft eliminating any lateral movement when the assembly rotates.
It all feels much more solid. You'll need a small bladed screwdriver to pop out the old tapered shaft and some epoxy/adhesive to bond the new shaft in position.

Here's a link to their website

Thanks guys for your input. All Germans who own the Capitole use a Electrocompaniet Spider puck instead of the original one and state it gives the music a much quieter background.
I'am a new owner of this great player and It slaughtered my Krell KPS-25Sc in everyway. One thing I'm not so sure is that from photos on the net. My unit is a mark-2 but it doesn't have the 4 small yellow capacitors by the output stage just before the XLR connectors...anyone can shed some light on this?
Thanks
