They used to be in many digital conversations.

I have and use daily my Audio Aero Capitol MK2.... a couple of months ago replaced the phillips pro mechanism brand new, so they are still available... Have no plans at all for a replacement... it´s dac sounds fantastic, and since it has tube output the sound if very very musical... compared it to an audiolab MDAC and I preferred the AudioAero... and for CDs it blew my oppo bdp-105d...
Thanks! for sharing guys- all excellent replies.

LALL, I would like that gentleman's email (for the phillips pro mechanism) if you do not mind exchanging?

you can PM me if you wish.

Keep this conversation going guys. Happy Listening!
Jafant,

I just sent you the coordinates through a PM. I paid $283 for a brand new original Phillips CD Pro 2 mechanism that works perfectly on my AA Capitole Reference.

So sorry for the delay.

cheers
Received Lall-

many thanks! for sending me the intel. I too hope this company can be revived. I have always wanted one of their spinners. Keep the info flowing guys & Happy Listening!
I had to replace the CD Pro 2 drive in my Capital Mk2. No big deal. Audio Aero used a brand of electrolytic capacitors in the power supply. Named "Samwa" . They died!!!. Easy fix to replace, off the shelf values. I ended up replacing all the electrolytic s on the power supply board, all the rest of the caps were branded BC, made by Vishay they tested OK.
