Audio Aero Capitole 192 MK II se upgrade

The SE upgrade is made by Globe Marketing. AFAIK they put teflon V-Caps, together with cryoed tubes and some symposium dampers. The upgrade costs $700 and is well worth the money. Replacing the caps by itself puts the player in different league in terms of resolution, transparency and microdynamics.

Although you can buy the caps and install them by yourself, you can't get cryoed tubes (unless you solder them off and send for cryogenic treatment).

Something just doesn't sit right with me pertaining to this supposeable upgrade. After being told that the upgrades original price was 2k but now is available for less than half of that cost. Over exploded ?????????

That's odd Zenieth. I have always heard $700 (perhaps it was $750) and I thought I had one of the very first to hit the market with the SE mod. I received mine right before the 6moons review of the Prima with SE upgrade.

I can't attest to before or after comparisons. I can tell you the player is good, and it may be overpriced. From what I hear of the mod improvements I would think it is fair in price.
