A. A. Capitole owners - what's the next step??

Hello to anyone who has owned or auditioned the Capitole MK II or III player. I have owned a MKII for a couple of years now, and have always been very impressed with the sound, but now have the upgrade itch.

I want to make sure my next player is AT LEAST as good as my Capitole (obviously, would prefer an improvement in some or all areas!).

What suggestions can you give me? BTW - I prefer to stay with something that has it's own volume control, like the Capitole, and only have standard "redbook" CD's.

Thanks to any & all.

"bit of an error?" Just a little. My immediate repsonse is to go for the MKII, of course. But--Looking for new speakers? Am I missing something? What do you have now? Don't be afraid to tell us. Even if they are AR 4xs. ML fan?

The only competition is the EMM. From the above responses, AA has the best, die-hard fans. A few of them moved on to this machine and they love it. I have not heard it, but it's very existance is a bit...awkward.

I am not sure i really want to try it, as I do love My AA Capitole Mark II so much.......

Warrenh "ML" - Martin-Logan.. ;>)
Yep, have to agree with you, why tempt fate? I'll probably go with what I know is great and slide up to the MKII.

BTW -- Whitwind, do you know what value the caps are for the MKI by chance? (I know it's probably on the originals, but my Capitole is "tucked" in my rack pretty snug).

I always thought that ML was the manufacturer? What is the particular model of your ML? I'm confused. You're talking in vagaries....

Warrenh - did you read my post? I don't currently have a set of speakers. Last set was Prodigies BTW, if it matters.
